Wait do you have your full or not?

I wasn't gonna actually read the thread til I saw the lulz.

I dunno about you guys but I would like to know what actually happened, clearly you were kidding about the racing line...and maybe the 95km/hr as well?

If you're gonna upgrade make it anything but a GN...please

Yeah I have my full. Yes I was kidding about the racing line, it was just a matter of not concentrating and I hit the white line by accident. I was going about that fast when I hit it, give or take 10km/h.

And no I wont get another GN, but with this ACC thing I might downgrade to a 125.

If you want to stay friends with me DON'T get an fxr, sorry to all the fxr lovers, but they aren't the best bike ever made. From the pics, that ole GN has plenty of life left in her, bit of a buff up and tickle of paint...

Of course they aren't the best bike ever made, but they are of much better build quality than the GNs.

Which is quite sad as they are both suzukis.

and it would appear that a 600 supersport is about 50% safer than an old clunky GN/DR650, if the proposed ACC levy is to be believed

now is a good time to be investing in a vfr400

and with the new laws we might finally see the Yamaha YZFR125 in NZ

I would actually say that fxr's are worse build quality, comparible to yamaha scorpians. But you get what you pay for really

well duh! - the yamaha is always going to be better built than a suzuki

but we're not talking yamaha, we're taking suzuki GN, which frankly isn't hard to beat
