Bike quiz !! small prize pool involved

[kro]

Being somewhat mad on bikes, I thought I'd make up a wee quiz based on the info in my somewhat muddled mind, that for some reason has stuck there.

The first person to nail all answers wins (this is all virgin unused gear):

A new A4 diary (yes its this years :P)
A T shirt (most likely L or XL size)
A diaphragm style drink bottle
A Beanie for winter.
A baseball cap, will be branded (black main colour)

Now, the rules are:
Zerax can't enter
Waylander isn't allowed to answer "Virago" for every question. :P
If I screw up, and have my facts wrong, I will repost a new question to replace the one I stuffed up.
Post your answers on this thread.
Editing of original posts is strictly forbidden, you answer all questions once only.
Don't fuck the game up for others, if you think it's a shit idea, thats fine, just keep it to yourself, we don't have to know about it.

That quiz thing I mentioned is below.....

Q1 What CC rating was the KR1 ?

Q2 What was the model name of the 850cc Turbo charged motorcycle made by Suzuki from 83-86 (example GSXR 750 - GS 550 etc etc)

[T.W.R]

Yer, he is damn close to the money, I just need to find out of this Madura is another name for the bike I was thinking of.

it was a god damn ugly thing suzuki produced to compete with the vmax & zl900 eliminator & V65 magna back in 84 mainly for the US market

[kro]

Was this too hard or too easy?, I could prolly put another one togther, with another small prize pool, but it wont be for another day or two, as I am working on the old 82 DR250 tomorrow night...... the old girl needs a new cam chain, and some new filter oil.

Piece of weee!, easy as. Kronos it was good to get the old grey matter ticking over:wacko:

anything for second? :rolleyes:

[merv]

Sure not an easy way to do a quiz were are all off posting and not seeing others do it at the same time. I reckon I didn't do too bad on my first unaided answers where I just skipped th eones I wasn't sure of.

[Scorpygirl]

Yeah, sweet.. thankyou one and all. I never win shit , this is great.

Well done to you SM!!! Big ups!! :wari:

Also well done Kronos for getting this one brain together!!! :first:

[Scorpygirl]

Yep was tricky.. I had to have two windows open.. one with the questions and another writing my answers. You dunno how the whole thing is going till you press reply and hope no one else has beaten you too it.

But that's the fun of a quiz. You can get beaten by someone that pushes the buzzer quicker than you!! :niceone: P/T

[kro]

Ok, I will look to get another one going Thursday, just remind me, as I am engrossed in my DR at thew moment.

I will make it similar in style, but maybe a bit harder, and might cut out the picture questions to give everyone a fair chance at googling :P

Ok, Ni ni troops.

[kro]

new thread made in Rant.

[T.W.R]

i answered all the questions from my head no help from any source, being on dial-up doesn't really allow for multiple browsing that easily.

Top Show S/M :clap:

thanks Kronos it was good look forward to the next one:woohoo:

[kels]

I don't know the answers to any of the questions....so can I have a prize for being a dumb ass? :weird:

[kro]

Haha, the quiz was a bit biased towards the 80's, and alot of the bikes mentioned are not overly common to see in the flesh anymore, so it was kind of harder for some people who maybe haven't been around bikes too long.
