Poos has a new bike

[cowpoos]

Today I took delivery on a 07 suzuki RMZ250 via Dave Anderson Motorcycles in masterton....fan frickin tastic deal once again [honestly guys...try them...they are the best dealership I've ever encounted!!!]

Shit this things got some power...these modern 4 strokes have come along way in such a short time...and whats more amazing is how well the thing hooks up!! the speeds you can get out of corners is nothing short of amazing!! so after 15mins 7 bins I was absaloutly stuffed!! but sooo stoked!!
as I have been missing dirt bikes big time since leaving the farm 8mnths ago.
And it should I hope help with race fitness...might even enter in a few off-road events along the way too...


Ahh good times!! now I need some play buddys in ham's :devil2:

[Goblin]

Lucky cunt! How do you get all these great deals? If I had a dirty bike I'd come play with ya.

[chanceyy]

Congrats poosy you be happy as a pig in mud then .. but we like pics ya know so stop being a hold out get off the bike & take some pics ... we do prefer to see it in its pristine condition before ya completely wreck it :bleh:

[Finn]

Nice puddle jumper Poos.

[Mental Trousers]

Cool. Guess I'd better find a knee brace so I can test it out eh!!! (Promise not to do a Jonno special on it)

[merv]

Mate nice one. Where were you riding it?

As for hooking up you've heard me rave on about what I thought of my WR when I bought it so won't bore you with any more detail, but that is what surprised me 3 years ago just how these things make torque, unheard of with the more vintage short stroke engines.

[kiwifruit]

nice one bro

I was riding it on the kickingzebra 1 acre slippery as hell peat soil test track!!

you know what the first thing I noticed after the first few laps...is how high do I have to rev to hit the limiter!!! answer!! very very very high!

[crazylittleshit]

mean dirt bike :) when I grow up Im gonna get one too...........

[Fatjim]

Mate, she's a beaut, even if it is yellow. When do I get to high side it bro?

Never hit mine on the Yam but its somewhere above 13,500 going by the speeds I know I've done in the gears. I've not raced mine but I have enjoyed how it just winds up and showers everyone behind with rocks and as you say the hook up is terrific. You've told me before some of that is to do with the Michelin tyres, they certainly work. What you got on the Suz?

[inlinefour]

What sort of power/torque do these things put out compared to the DRZ400, just out of interest?

[cowpoos]

Mate, she's a beaut, even if it is yellow. When do I get to high side it bro?
mate...the KLX300 I had in the rapa was a lamb compared to this thing...its a fickin weapon!! you'll more than get a muddy shoulder if you take this one for a spin!!

[Trudes]

Sweet Poos, look forward to seeing the antics on this bike, almost killed myself laughing at you guys last time.:wacko:

[cowpoos]

well the klx300 apparently makes 33hp and the drz400 apparently makes 34hp
...and I know from experience...the klx300 is a faster/better handling bike in any conditions when compared to the DRZ400... heres some rear wheel hp/torque figures to have a nosey at
not claimed like KLX/DRZ...but trust me...its a shit load more powerful!

Today I took delivery on a 07 suzuki RMZ250 via Dave Anderson Motorcycles in masterton....fan frickin tastic deal once again [honestly guys...try them...they are the best dealership I've ever encounted!!!] I like dealing with them enough I take my bike there for scheduled servicing, even though it is 100km away.

They let me ride their bikes while I wait. Or even borrow one overnight.

So ahh.. Can I have a go?
