CBR900RR/919RR vs SV1000S

Is this one here http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-431024583.htm an SRAD model? I'll give the owner a ring and then I might fly to Queenstown since it's only $49 each way with Jetstar.

yip looks like the SRAD, with the single seat cowl its got the classic whale tail

I like 'em, I'd have one has a 3rd bike

Yup, indeed it is. Bit of a head-bangers model the SRAD 600, love to be rev'ed, and really need to be rev'ed. Not a lot of mid-range pull but it is a (for it's time) a fast race rep.

I like the brake discs and the rev counter red light up/white back round

They're hot! I'd own one as a second bike


Don't be put of Suzukis by a Bandit 250 clutch... My Honda Bros650 had a fucked clutch at 29,000km (with 71hp at the tyre, no wonder...)
My ZZR400 had a fucked clutch at near 70,000km (I think the last owner was an idiot rapist)

hehe yea I was hesitating to add that I was left stranded during a ride on both my honda cbr250r and my cbr600f hehe.. but they were fairly neglected examples

any mechanical machine will do its job as long as you follow routine maintenance and look after it.

you'll be right mate! I'm watching this space for updates on the SRAD.. I think they go well on the track

Those SRAD 600s are super fun to ride, a real hoons bike. That's what it's all about in'it?

[Fast Eddie]

fuck yea they are cool, they used to be much more expensive so I could never afford one few years ago. blade was 3.5 back then and I think the srads were holding steady at 5-6k

p.s. where are all the dunedin riders at? soo sunny just clocked up 100 odd kms and only saw one other fella having a good time on his RSV Ape..

I'm looking at you drunken mistake.. tiger tim..

let me guess, you fellas have jobs and work? sad sad world..

How does one have no job and afford a nice 'blade? I'm a student and can't afford to build my ZZR

naww, guess my life choices I left school round 16/17 did that mechanic course at poly then apprenticeship and earned money/worked odd jobs til 21 then went to Uni eh, I'm at uni now but a bit older.. but in that gap I earned cash and bought toys I have more than a blade hehe.. So i'm living a pretty good student life right now.. pretty happy

how is that zzr going? I read the other post, 400 frame with 600 engine is it? my welding teacher at tech chucked a 1000cc into a 600 frame.. don't know any details of it but I always like the idea of jamming big things into little things.. err the mrs knows what I mean

Nicely done, I seem to sell all my toys (21 or 22 cars,1 boat and 7 bikes at the age of 22...) and end up with bugger all.

I wouldn't mind a wee bit more than 600cc, but, I'm mad and want to finish this beast.

Might have to have a word with my missus about this cramming things into stuff talk

[Fast Eddie]

yip been following that thread, good work on the polishing. I have titanium headers on the blade, how would one polish those I wonder, they have gone all dull. I tried pretty hard with a metal polish paste and sand paper but it didnt do it.. I haven't polished anything before tho.

jeeez 22 cars? I def havent been running through toys like that had a lot of bikes though, the uninteresting ones come and go pretty quickly and plenty of unfinished projects that I passed on to someone else.

had a sweet turbo 550cc honda, that was a laugh to ride aye

[ducatilover]

Send them up here (with the bike attached and keys) I'll polish them....
CX550 Turbo? Coooooooooool!
I hate not finishing projects, some other cunt ruins it after you sell it off.

hehe yea it was very cool, think there is one photo of it on my profile but a bit of a shit photo really. I should have kept it but started another project and had my fun on it. Might do another tho, riding a turbo bike is just hilarious. waaapish, waaaaaAAAAAA pish.

lol, where is bunnythorpe? is that even a real place.. think i might leave the headers for now im the only one that cares if they are shiny or not im sure

[Fast Eddie]

CX550 Turbo? Coooooooooool!

Bunnythorpe is just through the looking glass, to the left and no-fucking-where...
