Texmo has graduated


On Friday the 28th at about 5pm I brought a CBR250RR, its got 23,000km on the clock and is a fresh import and was vined half an hour before I picked it up, It has 2 cracks in the fairings one is about 5cm long and isn't noticeable, and the other is about 1cm long, It has perralli diablos on the front and dragons on the back, I had it dynoed at Red Barron and it has 36.6psi at the read wheel with a top speed a little over 180km/hr. Its red blue and white with the prominent colour being red ( opposite colour scheme to Cibby Chicks bike ).
Well now that I have told you about the bike and etc...
I cant get over the handling even on the new tyres has more grip and better handling than my scooter by a long shot, The frame is so solid it doesn't warp when coming out of corners and the brakes.... the back brake it better than the front and back combined on the scoot, Power wise It ain't nothing amazing although when It got over the 180mark was a bit of excitement. I am still glad I did my time on scooters taught me the fundamentals of riding, I also have no self restraint and can almost guarantee I would be 6 feet under if I had something with as much poke as this, I have been riding scooters for 15months and now motorbikes for 2days, Bit of a pointless drivel starting to happen and I'm tired from all the riding so I wont be going on any more, other than that Postie rode it today and was impressed from what I gather and Buggjuice took some pics hopefully he will post them for all to see..

I thaught it had a 180 limiter in it :rofl:

Good to meet you at the track yesterday.

On monday when I get a new camchain/rod/adjuster I'll see and raise your 36.6ps to hopefully 40ish.


Did you weigh your bike yesterday?

Looks good, but left side looks like a small gravel rash like mine, not road but small scratches. Weird.

At least its more comfy for some weird reason - but less room.

It is now 3:04am, and OMGWTFBBQ is showing no signs of being tired. With a gently smoking blunt in one hand, and a can of coke in the other, he forges through the night.

A fierce battle rages between AKIA and Tristank. Who is the winner? Love is.

Not sure he said that, but yup he DEFINITELY said that his CBR has more power, better brakes, better handling, more grip and a better frame.

Welcome to the fold Texmo, now go ride that sucker hard.

I put Dunlop GPR-70s on my bike recently and it's feeling the best it's ever felt, so if you want a change from the pirellis, try them.

As for the Thread Hijackers, :beer:

I can proudly say that as far I am aware first thing texmo did was bring his beast over to mine (possibly to gloat a little) so I helped him find some speed along the NW. shes a good little ripper texmo you handle it well.

gpr 70s are the best for those, but not if you commute lots you will chew through them fast as, or at least square it off pretty bad

You clowns were testing the top speed of your 250's on the NW? That takes balls aye...I'd have thought there'd be cops galore out there, and you fellas ain't got a lot of chance on a straight, empty road.

good god no

what I MEANT to say was. we went up there to get to the track thats up there to test our speed on that . we dont break the posted speed limit on the road. good lord no.

30th October 2005, 20:09
Well, Did my first open road riding today and thats where the bike came into its own I am impressed with it thats for sure, I still love scooter think they are cool ect, but bikes are purpose built for speed that why I like scooters my scooter should do 0-100 in undaer 5 seconds quite easily and I dont care who you are but when your driving your WRX with its chromies and a scooter drags you off you would feel like shit.
Got the hang of that kill switch didnt even know it was there I had owned the bike for about 5mins man.... I had it pinned open today and didnt go much past 180 on the speedo so it must have been my imagination last time...
After that, im happy with it and will see you fullas around, I am not going on another KB ride for a while as I will die I went fast today probbly a little too fast for my skills.
I am just gonna find that track day thing in december to book my place...
Also I need crash buffers as I will drop it or someone will backinto it ect as a courier bike anybody know if they are avaliable and my bike it too quite I want it to be louder so people can hear me as its dangerous out there and every little bit helps....

ish suspension and a misunderstanding on a few things about the deal he got...

cheered him up with a 300km blat up to Mangawhai an back via some backroads. He is rather quick for a guy with only a few days on a 'real' bike :clap:

i'd say lookout to the auckland 250 crew, he'll be thrashing you lot before you know it :ar15:

Well, my bike is having "issues" took it into Mt. Eden motorcycles and went back there again today with ma old' man and they think the problem will be something to do with the Carbs as It had done 0km's in New zealand and now that it has had somegas through it, its having teathing problems, They think it might be on the road by monday or tuesday and are gonna arrange a loaner bike for now, Which should be there for me to pick up this evening. So fingers crossed I will be back on my CBR by tuesday at the latest....
