You'll understand why there is a 100kph speed limit when you get your bike on the road, cos some of the roads are shit ya gota keep looking for pot holes and loose chip. Mind you it makes it exciting.

I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
Wow, realy....going slow around corner is fun? I better try it sometime... must be due to constant fear of death while riding on shitty entry level bike with crapy brakes and suspension...
Or do you actualy believe that everybody riding larger bike has never riden some "lemon" cc bike while on learners/restricted and thefore we have no idea whats it like to ride slow????
The trick is not to go over 100 km/hr ... and not go under 100 km/hr ...
braking for corners is for learners ... right ... ???

hi all thanks for the response
i havent been to other places outside auckland
but i guess ther must be some roads outside auckland thats long straigt road
hours of riding.
if 100kph can be achived easily on a car using maybe less than 1/2 gas pedal,
how much more on a bigbike?
10seconds or less your one 100kph?
and maintaining 100kph i on a r6/r1 bigbike i guess is on 1/4throttle or less.
dont you think that will make you sleep while riding on very long stretch road running 1/4 idle throttle and engine noise is like on idle noise?
the reason i asked those is because ive seen bigbikes on motorways..
and i keep on asking how do they enjoy their powerful bikes capable of doing
twice the speed limit.
just asking from a newbie in nz...
hello and welcome, where are you from?
anyway, as to your question, I have an R1, and yes, its fun. Face it, back home, did you never, ever, ever speed? Its about picking your times, and not doing it when there is clear and present danger.
NZ is blessed with lots of hills, winding back roads and all sorts of places that you can go for a damned good hoon, through all the twisties, without actually going over the limit, and have a lot of fun still.
Id suggest yo use Kiwibiker to locate a bunch of other riders in your area, meet up, and go on some group rides. find out where everyone else goes to blow off some steam, find where those fun, back roads are that the cops never bother with because they are so desolate anyway.
Once again, welcome to NZ, enjoy your time here!!

A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
