Bike Shopping

[andrea]

k today i went out looking at some bikes, i headed into red baron again and told them i had finally got my full license. the first bike i took out was a 2005 zxr636 it was nice but a lil uncomfortable and it didnt really have the loud sound i wanted and the blast was short"ahem" second bike i took out was a grey 2004 r6 oh man it sounded nice and just leaving the lights the bike felt like it wanted to take off, it was more comfortable than the 636 and nice to ride. the third bike i took out was a dark grey 2004 r1 oh man that bike really is something, it was real comfortable, a beaut to ride. all three bikes attracted attention especially everytime i rode past that harley and buell place that used to be called shaft up in new market. but the last bike that attracted the most attention was the ducatti 748 it was loud as a mutha farker a sound that i just loveeee, but fark it was really uncomfortable but a beaut bike, it was a red and white one. all these bikes i enjoyed riding, but its too bad my pockets dont go deep enough to get that r1, the guy has given me till tomorrow to make up my mind bout the 636 which i think ill ring him up tomorrow and say no. next week im hoping to go with SB to his friends shop to check out some new bikes and see if i can get a good deal on an r1. oh yeah there was another r1 there but it was a 98 model.

Well when I get my full licence (prob Feb) I'll be looking at bikes no newer than '97!

Darn budget limitations.

Mmmmm R1 :drool:
yeah that R1 practically made me drool too lol, hmm<_< my nose was runny at the same time:crazy:and thats when i was riding the bike :laugh: :laugh:
the 636 when i rode that bike was a lil high and the r6 was good so i could balance well on that too but the r1 both my feet were flat on the ground which was good lol

[andrea]

Hey congrats!! I'll be in your shoes in a coupla months... How'd you feel going from a 250 to the R1??
on that R1 it felt great, all those bikes i rode were packed full of power, the guy said that the 636 had about 130hp and the r6 bout 128hp or something and the r1 bout 158hp i think, well thats what he said. lol as soon as i got on my lil 250cc to go home i was thinking oh shit where's all the power gone lmao. those big bikes are nice, especially when you give them abit of gas and you start to pull away from those bloody cages. but that r6 was something else too hmm everytime i left the lights at first gear the bike just pulled and really hauled arse, i could feel myself being pulled back abit.
hey good luck on for your fulls:) oh hang on i didnt end up getting that r1, it was abit too much lol so im still on the lookout.

Mmmmm R1 :drool:

One of the (few) advantages of being over 25....

I can cut it down to 4 if I can be bothered to do the course...but I need time to save up for the new bike, so no hurry...

You rode past AMPS, but didn't think to come in and ride a selection of bikes for nothing?
Things like Buells, KTM's, CBR's, even Hardleys! Then, unlike most people on this site, you'd be able to rubbish them after actually having ridden one.
