I have been challenged.
someone has the belief that motards are know for their shite handling, and wants to race me and my DRZ-SM on a twisty bit of road.
he is 19 and will be riding a ZZR 250, who wants to watch?
i have a good road up a certain mountain in mind, fingers crossed for saturday!
oh, the same guy really wants to race me and believes that his ZZR can beat busa's!
im worried now!

ZZR250 probably about the same speed in a straight line. I'm a bit fat and my DR-Z isn't much faster than a Hyobag 250 ridden by a skinny guy to about110km/h. Your DR-Z probably isn't even broken in yet, it will free up considerably about 1000km. Around corners, it's down to the skill of the rider. A ZZR250 probably does beat a 'bus to about 30km/h.
However, you are a tool for doing it on the road. Why not wait until the opening round of VMCC or do a trackday and compare times?

my DRZ aint even been run in properly, 5m from the shop with 0kms on it i had it on the back wheel
im a pretty good rider by others judgment, not very smooth, but fast enough.
why the road?
cause i dont need to pay $100+ to have fun, and i also dont need to ride a million times on a perfect surface to be fast.
a windy bush road in the middle of nowhere up a mountain is much more me.
the road is where it is at.
im a skinny kid too...

the road is where it is at.
That winding bush road, (and others like it) is also where kids walk along. old ladies drive, on their way to visit family, and farmers move stock to other paddocks.
I couldn't give a fuck if your splattered against a strainer post, or rearranged by a stray bull, but if your testosterone takes out a child walking home from school, I'll have more than a few words heading your way.

Hell even an average rider would beat a good rider on a DRZ400 versus a ZZR250, they are heavy whales.
although they do there job very well.

If posts containing racing little wankers on public roads is what you puppies call "a good wind up", best you lot carry on doing what your good at.........:tugger:
It is in childish, and poor taste to take this approach. Return to bebo/dildo, or where ever the hell you lot crawled out from.
Mods, best you start thinking about if these posts(road race pissing contests) are what you want this site to be known for.
Tell me to fuck off, or whatever, but I'm sick of snot noses mouthing off behind keyboards. Yeah I'm fucked off, but in this PC bullshit age, nobody is berating the dropkicks, and those are the shitdicks who are killing innocent bystanders. Two teenage girls died last weekend, from guess what.....speeding drivers. It's all a big joke aye carver? Best you drag your scrawny arse down to the morgue for a good hard lesson, then up to A+E and watch the ambo's bring in more smashed up humans.

no problem dude, just remember what you said SPEEDING DRIVERS not riders.
its no joke man, im dead serious about doing this, come if you want, chain yourself to a tractor in the middle of the road and refuse to move...
the street racing and the "boy racer" scene from where we "crawled from" has been going on from before you were in nappies...
i think you need to calm down.

Rock out with your e-Peen out!
Boo fucking hoo, a bit of going fast on a twisty road? Get over it, they are just doing what we all do. Even us slow riders on hyobags go as fast as humanly possible as soon as the twisties start. So what if there is ZZR following miles behind the mighty carvenator.
It's just a group ride, someone in the lead, someone behind.

Old Tri boy is having a hernia over this ( he even pm'd me ) little "ride" or "race" or wahtever the fuck it is, and at the end of the day all the big guys on the thou's are go WAYYY faster up that certain road everyday.... FFS.

You are the type of person that is making it the PC age.
Speeding kills huh? No it fucken doesn't. Rider/Driver error does.
Let these boys take some Personal Responsibility for thier actions. Something every cunt in this world seems to lack now. If they go for a hoon and fuck up there will be concequences for thier actions (I would like to say "just and fair" concequences but we all know that doesn't exist in NZ justice system)
Go for a hoon guys, just keep your head screwed on and don't out ride yourself!

Im sick of everyone on this site has a winge everytime some one says they were doing a mono today or they left this guy behind doing this. Worry about your riding and i will worry about mine.
Anyways rant over. I got a super motard and i best thing i have ever ridden. Its a KTM 525 bored and stroked out to 580 with slipper clutch, akrapovic exhaust, etc.

Bunch of wankers challenging each other to cock measuring contests.
Guys..
If they want to race are you going to be able to stop them??? no....
And you cant tell me you hit a 100 km road and when it says 35kmh for the next corner you actually slow down that much..
If you dont like the thread why read it.
He asked "who wanted to come and watch?" not
"if you have a problem please post as many bitchy comments here"
So let them be.. Yeh if they kill some one then they will have to deal with it huh.. and you don't even no what stretch of road it is so ....................

My DRZ400e with enduro gears was good for 152kph, with tard gearing it would go faster. Could wheelie in each gear, including top. The SM is a bit underpowered to my bike but thats not hard to change. Got a better rear wheel slide from a knobblie around the courner but full power traction at times was also a problem. If you get beaten by the ZZR then you should be put on a step thru and give the tard away. But if the other rider is good, it could possibly happen but saying its faster than a busa just means hes a plonker...

Yea I took a standard SM for a spin and was most disgusted with the effort the motor was making. Was a dealership bike so I abused it fow awhile and took it back quick:devil2: why someone would want the SM bike is beyond me, you'd look bloody funny as I blew past you on my E and Ive got the knobblies on. Have upset a few sportsbike riders on the twisties and passed them after being unimpressed with their cournering.:spanking: Funny how they get upset when they see the enduro tyres., let alone they got passed by a smaller enduro bike. I allways thought it was an indication of their lack of riding ability, but we all know some are true legends in their own minds.:rolleyes:

Still got your old DRZ400 IL4, there's something not so standard about it, much faster than any other DRZ400 ive ridden or we have owned (Owned another one at one point!).
Its a beast. Does good wheelies too! Like you say. Mainly been used for trial riding these days by my brother.

It had the carb and exhaust modified and that was about it. Was waiting until it died and then I was going to do the big work over with the race can/carb and all the good internal bits. But the bloody thing never died, even considering the amount of shit that I was giving it, just for being a yellow sucksaki. :spanking:
1st of all, Congrats for getting a bike that really suits you (400SM :yes: now you can really go out there and stunt!)
2nd, theres no challenge at all against a ZZR250 lol
3rdly.... hmmm dunno lol its all said from page 1 to 3 so yeah, Its a cliche to say. So I won't say lol
go for it carver. be careful though - if the zzr has usd's it could be just that little bit quicker though :)
i can think of plenty of twistie roads with no kids/stock/tractors etc - i'm sure can too.
go hard
kick ass
