Having looked thru a lot of the posts on this site there seem to be a lot of guys wanking on bout how fast they are
when are people goin to learn the road is not the place to prove that your willie is not small
all the crap about riding with newbies is a case in point , i am an experrienced racer , rider and am fast , belive it if you want , don't care , but have no prob riding with new riders cause 200ks is for idiots anyway and I want to live past xmas
any thoughts??????

I see you've got on of the fastest 250's around , Could you be guilty of coming up on cars quickly on corners ,blasting pass on short striaghts and scarring the s*it out of them with that 11,000 rpm two stroke WAAAAAAAAAA.
Would seem similar to me.

Yep, I have a thought. There goes another one.

You ride an NSR 250. It has virtually no power at all below, what?, 6000rpm? It has a narrow power band, a close ratio gear box. It's light as, has a racer crouch seating position, clipons bla bla bla. OBVIOUSLY designed for travelling sedately at or below the speed limit (that would be sarcasm).

You make some good points. But I would love to see what happens when you get a bike that can effortlessly do 200k, rather than shreiking like a banshee and buzzing like a turbocharged viabrator. Take a ride on a 600+ and see how long you can resist it.

How far south of Nelson have you ridden? Sure, doing 200k anywhere north of the Kohatu pub would be reckless. But there are plenty of roads in our wee country that have excellent surfaces, are well marked/ signposted and have almost no traffic, cross roads or driveways.

There are even more roads where you can have an absolute ball without breaking the speed limit, but in reality you are putting yourself and others at greater risk than by doing 200k on the affore mentioned deserted roads. Think about it, if you're cranked over doing 95k around a 40k corner and you fall, your bike is going to hit something What if it's an on coming car? Just because you're below the limit doesn't mean that you aren't taking a risk.

the nsr does primarly track work , also have a k1 gsxr for track days/touring and resist doing 200 effortlessly fine thanks , its not the size bike that determines speed , its the individual controling it
Mind you am finding the excess power of the gsxr pointless on the road and have been thinking bout sellin it but it is much cheaper on gas than the 2 stroke

[nsrpaul]

and the nsr makes no power below 8000rpm!

and your a friendly guy

[Bren_chch]

years and years ago, back when i had long hair and smoked copius amounts of weed i had a nsr250rj, that was a FANTASTIC little bike... but when i had my first go on a big 4, i knew the nsr would be sold before the week was up... and sure enough it was... now i cant understand why u would give up the gsxr for a 2stroker, are u like a caged animal that only has limited roads to roam?

You got to love that torque.. aye aye am i right am i right?

[nsrpaul]

mmm torque is handy for when ya loaded up with gear , pillion but I love my 2 stroke , sick puppy I know , maybe the risk of a seizure adds sumthing to the ride

[dangerous]

You got to love that "talk".. aye aye am i right am i right?

yeah I think you are right

[DEATH_INC.]

I like nsrpaul.He's funny!

[speedpro]

how many guys do youy know who have fallen off at 200 plus on the road and still look pretty or are alive , may still be dangerous on the track but least ya not going to hit a car , bank , road sign , armco etc etc

This idiot obviously has never been to Pukekohe, Wanganui, or Paeroa.

I agree with Bren from Chch, there's plenty of places to go fast on the roads. You just have to choose the time and place.

[gav]

But have you lived in Nelson? I always had smaller bikes when I lived up there, RZ350, NS400R, VFR400R etc its a cool place to ride on a smaller bike, and most times you dont need to do 200 +. Its only when you move like, say to Chch that you started yearning for more grunt and hp, dammit.......

[nsrpaul]

since when were waganui and paeroa tracks , i thought they were street circuts and therefore more dangerous , still a controlled inviroment compared to the road mind you

Firstly nsrpaul, welcome to KB. :spudwave:

There may "seem to be" a lot of guys on here mouthing off about how fast they are, but as a senior member here I would disagree. You get the odd nut posting about his careless speeding triumphs but most people on here frown at that sort of boasting!

Paul, stick around and get the feel of this community, participate and contribute, and hopefully you'll realise that we're not a bunch of *maniac road-racers* but rather a group of serious minded motorcyclists who love the thrill of the ride!
