My ZX9R does not have USD Forks.

[cowboyz]

I have just realised that the bike I thought was the most fantastic bike I have ever owned doesnt have USD forks and therefore must be shit.

So offers over $1. I might as well cut my losses and buy something really cool.

Anyone know where there is a ZXR250 for sale?

[Mully]

Well, at least it's got twin front discs.

It's not the end of the world - you should be able to swap a pair of forks off of a rolled bowled and arseholed ZX2R since they're a REAL balls to the wall sports bike...

[cowboyz]

would seem there is going to be a flurry of cheap bikes for sale very soon then..........

[Ixion]

Take the plunge and swap it for a real sprotsbike. Well, it must be, it's got USD forks.

[crashe]

would seem there is going to be a flurry of cheap bikes for sale very soon then..........

Yep yours.......

Seems my offer is the only offer..........
YIPPPPEEEEEEEE I just brought me a sprotbike.....:first:

[McJim]

My bike has got USD forks and is slower than most....the logic doesn't stack up then eh?

[cowboyz]

Yep yours.......

Seems my offer is the only offer..........
YIPPPPEEEEEEEE I just brought me a sprotbike.....:first:
hold fire. I just have to ring SM for some advice on what to do next.

Dont call me, Ill call you.

Now I am confused. The ZX9r doesnt have USD forks and I thought this was the reason why there were riders at the last trackday who were faster than me. There must be some reason. What was it again?

[robertydog]

Its Green?

[yod]

you didnt have me to chase (make sure you bring the camera to the next one)

I'll give ya $2.50 but thats my FINAL offer (and, quite frankly, I'm doing you a favour at that price!)

[skidMark]

if oyu guys had bothered to read the origional thread i simply stated that the USD forks i mentioned had alot more adjustment in that case, i never at anytime said no usd's were shit.

but i prefered the usd's because of the adjustment.

ride a zxr250 properly setup...versus a cbr as tweaked as you can get it.

each to thier own.

i simply voiced an opinion and you guys are being a bunch of children about it.

this site is schoolyard bullshit.

too quick to poke shit when i know more about 250's than you ever will.

[skidMark]

would seem there is going to be a flurry of cheap bikes for sale very soon then..........

and fuck man your my idol look at your cool sig pic....you got pulled over wow, you're such a rebel.

and you post a pic showing off that you obviously ride like a cock?

and are too slow to actually get away?

[snot]

You're the only child around here you little half-wit, piss off and leave us to it.

[yungatart]

Oh dear, it seems I too have unwittingly purchased a lemon.
I have an EX500D, which is now for sale. It is basically a GPX with pretty fairings and it does have the word Ninja on it. As it is red (everyone knows red bikes are faster), I have set the reserve at $2.50.
Over to you folks.....

$3.00

Gee at this rate I am going to have a garage full of motorbikes.... a nice wee collection indeed.

[yungatart]

No offence intended, Crashe, but I think it is a wee bit tall for you!

It also has a topbox fitted, so has to be worth more than $3

[Coyote]

What's this about standard forks making a bike shit? Skidmark seems to be leaving because of it. What's going on?!

[crashe]

No offence intended, Crashe, but I think it is a wee bit tall for you!

It also has a topbox fitted, so has to be worth more than $3

No offence taken.....
Its ok that its a bit tall, I shall stand on a box to get on it.... lol

Ok then $3.50

[yungatart]

You could always remove the top box and stand on that!

[yod]

and fuck man your my idol look at your cool sig pic....you got pulled over wow, you're such a rebel.

and you post a pic showing off that you obviously ride like a cock?

If you actually knew the circumstances surrounding that pic you might understand.

Just because you think life is all about trying to impress doesn't mean everybody else does.

Look at your sigpic; you got your knee down and you want the whole world to know. Are we all impressed? Take a guess...

[crashe]

You could always remove the top box and stand on that!

Yep so true........ good thinking.......

So its a done deal huh.....

[hXc]

and you post a pic showing off that you obviously ride like a cock?I recall a certain post by you stating you've been pulled over 39 times in over 2.5 years. So who's the show off now? And who's slow now, not being able to get away that many times.

My Spada ain't got USD either...$3700. 'Cause it's a 250.

Awwwwwwww now come on........ havent you read the other thread...
That is just too expensive for a 250.......

I'll give you $3.70

[Coyote]

I'll give you $3.70
$3.75

The 5 cent piece has got to be worth like $10 bucks now

[crashe]

$3.75

The 5 cent piece has got to be worth like $10 bucks now

The 5 cent coin is useless....... and no longer in use...
But I will go up to $3.80

[bugjuice]

my pogo stick has a rsu fork..?? so that means I'm fast now?
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[Coyote]

The 5 cent coin is useless....... and no longer in use...
But I will go up to $3.80

I know. But since it isn't worth 5 cents anymore, it should now appreciate in value since it's not constrained to the value that the government said it was and people with more money than sense will push the price up by buying them on trademe. That and I was taking the piss.

Mmm, and idea for an auction. Time to create a profile at an internet cafe so they don't get my IP address.

[The Pastor]

hey man i was like hanging off my bike and my fairing got scraped so like im fast alright.

[Ixion]

That's cos it's got fairings. Bikes with fairings are faster. But only somewhat faster, cos your fairings are right side up. Bikes with upside down fairings are really fast.

[MSTRS]

That's cos it's got fairings. Bikes with fairings are faster. But only somewhat faster, cos your fairings are right side up. Bikes with upside down fairings are really fast.

And lots of those USD fairinged bikes get USD forks at the same time...So that makes them the shizz. Kneedown? Hah!! Get your shoulder down and then skite...

[Ixion]

Upside down fairings, upside down forks. Bah, amateur stuff. I have the ultimate weapon. An upside down BIKE. Stands to reason, it must be the fastest of all.

[FilthyLuka]

woah man.... deep

Can you get the pegs down though?

[Ixion]

Pegs, poof. I can get the mirrors down. Makes a mess of helmets though.

pffffft

i use my ears

[99TLS]

trade you my TLS :2thumbsup

[cowboyz]

<snipped some shit I couldnt be arsed reading>

too quick to poke shit when i know more about 250's than you ever will.
Ill tell ya what. I will send you a matchbox and you can write everything you know on the side of it and post it back to me. If you have spare room you can sign your name in capitals if you like.



and fuck man your my idol look at your cool sig pic....you got pulled over wow, you're such a rebel.

and you post a pic showing off that you obviously ride like a cock?

and are too slow to actually get away?
took a while to reply cause I just stopped laughing.
unlike you, others have multi dimensions to them. My sig has a backstory. I wont bother explaining it cause it is there for the benefit of those in the know, and you simply are not. I am happy with the way I ride and the people I ride with. Made some really good friends and when we stop for a coffee/smoke/chat break no one talks about how fast they are/were or how they got their knee down or tried to. We have much much more imortant things to discuss.

[Drew]

Brakes only slow ya down!

The briiten has a cantilevered shock at the front.

[cowboyz]

Oh right..........

What does cantilevered mean?

Doesnt matter anyway cause its not a ZXR250

[Drew]

Oh right..........

What does cantilevered mean?


It means it works indirectly. A swingarm type thing that has a shock on the other side of a pivot point.

Kinda hard to explain but real simple when ya look at it.

[marty]

Really? So how does the shock on the pivot transfer/isolate movement of the wheel from the frame?

[Morcs]

and fuck man your my idol look at your cool sig pic....you got pulled over wow, you're such a rebel.

You dissing my signature too?

:whistle:

[Nade]

I have a zxr.....it has usd forks....and is red.....so it must be real fast.. I have 2 different types of mental illness so guys...cut me some extra slack and all that and i'll try not to be such
A COCK SMOKER!

Fark, so that's why us noobs get pwnd in post classic racing. Maybe I should stuff the CBR motor into a ZXR250 frame then sell the remains for $0.50c.


Knee down is worth at least 3s a lap.
USD forks must be worth another 3s.
Cool as fuck ZXR's would attract sponsors.
Fuck it, I'd best race it in F1.

Skindmark is a genius I tell yer.

this thread was an obvious pisstake but then you come along and now I have learnt something........

Just googled it and it looks kinda cool. Only place I can find any decent pics on the setup is on a 4x4 but looks tough.

[gav]

The Britten front end is very similiar to the BMW front end.
You can see the Britten front end here (http://bp2.blogger.com/_Mvhjidbvdzc/R4sVpFMxNPI/AAAAAAAADfY/wLoSW6nXAP4/s1600-h/b9.jpg) and here (http://bp0.blogger.com/_Mvhjidbvdzc/R4sWMlMxNTI/AAAAAAAADf4/RE9hcqhpsjs/s1600/b5.jpg)

hard day eh Drew??


funny stuff :laugh: who needs a boat to go fishing? :woohoo:

[ynot slow]

USD forks/STDforks, or USD rider,which is better.Plenty of riders on tracks with USD forks end up on the grass and they put the knee down,proves that knee down aint the bees knees.

As cowboyz said,when they have a drink break no one talks about how many times they got knee down,more often holy shit just missed that oil patch or animal on the corner.

[FilthyLuka]

and they put the knee down,proves that knee down aint the bees knees..

badum psch

[Fatjim]

Drew, there's other threads for serious bike talk, this definately isn't one of them.

SM, take it on the chin mate. Squaking like a bitch won't do you any good.

[delusionz]

I have an EX500D, which is now for sale. It is basically a GPX with pretty fairings and it does have the word Ninja on it.

Yours is a GPX with pretty fairings too??? :laugh:

[cowboyz]

well mine is just a gpx with pretty fairings ............................... and a bit more horsepower.

[yungatart]

Stop trying to bump the price up on yours...I haven't sold mine yet...and YES. it IS all about me!

[McJim]

Wotchu talkin' bout Willis?

Why you sellin' Ruby? She's a fine bike. Is it just coz the forks are the other way round?

[rudolph]

GSXR1000s have USD forks and there shit

[Drew]

GSXR1000s have USD forks and there shit


THEY'RE, not there. They are, rather than the location. Even Fatjim noticed the error.

And no the're not. A suspension guru will point out they could be better, but shit is an incorrect evaluation.

For further information, ask Skidmark, he's an expert.

[Weaver]

My GT250R has USD forks. So it must be the fastest, especially since I took the 250 stickers off. Apperently they can do 180k's :eek:. Can yours go that fast?

[yungatart]

Wotchu talkin' bout Willis?

Why you sellin' Ruby? She's a fine bike. Is it just coz the forks are the other way round?

Yeah, that and the fact that is just a GPX with pretty fairings and we have it on good authority (Skidmark) that it is just a shitter. And its only got a single disc....

Mines also got twin "floating" discs. Means it stops better than yours too
