    Oh yeah to the Fixxer owners
    I've noticed that 95% of the time they don't wave back, I have more chance of getting a wave from a cruiser

    Na, they are great bikes for comuting and having a bit of fun and are more than capable of keeping up with the traffic.
    ofcourse you can run faster than YOUR FXR.... considering it isnt really going at all...

    RG150 reads a good 10-15kmh above actual speed... When i was "passing" Loosebruce when he was on his Gixxer his speedo was reading about 5-6kmh more than mine...

    If you want a FXR in good working condition, my partner and I might be selling our FXR, but I can only confirm that next week.

    It's 2002 FXR150 in the blue colour, less than 6000k's on the clock, had service and WOF in Feb.
    I'm not a complete idiot... some pieces are missing

    Not what I had in mind, if it was less than 6000ks on the clock, just serviced and just cartwheeled down the road I 'd be your buyer.

    What's wrong with your SR250? :spudwhat:
    VT250 should be a good bike.
    ... and that's what I think.

    it's to slow and a vt250 is one of the faster 250 bikes, almost keeps up with the cbr's etc

    Well I must of got one that they got a bit excided when they were doing the speedo, cos it was about 12kph out at 50kph. And sure enough it seams like you must really be going fast cos it read 147kph when I wound it right up.

    Yeah the FXR's definatly have speedo issues, i had mine fixed a while ago and you can tell the difference, lol i kind of liked it when i thought i was going faster. Although, these bikes are fine on the motorway, you can cruise at about 120 and just give it a bit mroe gas to overtake, no worries.
