I've been racing about on a Honda C50 for the past 18 months. I think I've now got the hang of this motorcycling lark.

Shouldn't be too much of an upgrade should it?

Except for dodging the 5-0 (camera van and 2 cars on the dual laning in the Waikato, and 2 loose cars elsewhere) thanks to Mr X90, sat at 110-120 most of the way except for following a caravan down Gordonton Rd - luckily too - HP car near Gordonton - 3 hrs driving.

Have your worked out the V1 and V2 speeds yet and does it have a "go around" button?

went there - they have a blue silver one and a black purple one.

both priced ridiculously high. i offered them 10k for the blue/silver one (it had been dropped at low speed/off the stand and is a bit scratched up) and they just just laughed!

i was NEARLY tempted on a zero km K7 bandit 1200 with yoshi pipe for $11200, but resisted the urge :)

I found V2 last night on the way back from Matamata, outside the Walton Golf Club :) V1 comes and goes so fast it's irrelevant!

It hasn't got a go around button, but it HAS got a Magic Mirrors (TM) switch :spudwow:
