haha, thats like saying 250's aren't slow, they are, just not on corners, my NC30 only felt like a little step up from the 250, which i like, but it does have a *very* different riding position

haha, fastest they got to was around 180-200kmh, thats assuming the speedo is in mph.
My 99 R6 will do 200 in 3rd gear so thats probably why he doesnt need to go that high. Thought the R6 could have done a better job of keeping up, but then again its on the open road and better to be safe than sorry.
What i dont understand is people that go out for 'twisty roads' and then proceed to cut the corners making what could be a challenging S-bend into a near straight line...
Weasel mate, its the rider... not the bike!

Yeh yeh, I'm getting there.
Finally got my front suspension sorted, had to fully max out the preload, and that's pretty much as good as it's getting, still a shitload better than before.
Gonna get out on a kaiawa gp at some point and see what sort of open road difference it's made.

fairy muff mate, dont think i've ridden with you since i had my 250 back in july '05!!!!
Take it into Bungy at Cycletreads if you cant make it down to Shaun Harris, he did a good job on mine for $30, and i'd be lying if i didnt say i'm now riding the fastest i ever have.

What I don't understand is noobs that don't cut clear corners thus making what could be fast challenging corners into much slower knee down scarier antics. They obviously don't know how to read the road properly.

Pretty boring video, 400s are still slow by the looks of it...

ts a god given right to use both lanes actually, an safer than staying in your own. here reports all the time (senile centenial highway) of driver crosses center lane, well if you werent in your lane to start with you wont get hit by someone crossing over into it...... USE THE OTHER LANE
