    Thanks for the tips. I'll try a bit harder next time. No pun intended.
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    You can have one up to 140km/h in a slip stream, down mt Bruce.

    But 120+ on the flat is a mission. The 300cc kit helped a lot, 'till the clutch let go and the rest of the motor exploded

    Yup, 120 easy (well, you know) anything over yup, a serious mish. Keeps one out of trouble, though...

    No headwind and dead flat my bike'll do 125. Downhill with a brisk tail wind, I reckon 200kph+ would be easily achieveable. *cough*

    Still faster than most bikes through traffic.

    On a private track though, of course... Never on the road....

    Did I forget to say that?

    Of course, that's exactly what I meant.

    Many would scoff at this, but I get through town at least as fast on my GN as I would on my ZX6, purely because it's so flickable at low speeds, you just treat it like a massively underpowered MX bike abd beat the clutch to death

    You're on the money.

    I'd say a cheap bike is faster through traffic than an expensive one. GNs are very narrow. And cheap. Hence why they are faster than lots of bigger bikes.

    A lot bikes pause when lane-splitting that I just fly through.

    One day when I grow up I'll look back fondly on my trusty GN.

    Probably about now someone will chip in with a bit of GN-bashing.....

    I think it's just the geometry and light as steering at low speeds that aids it, and the ease of curb hopping...
    My Spada was far, far better through town than the GN, better handling at low speeds and double the power.
    The GN600 should be ideal in town, but I reckon ya can't get better than a grunty motard for fun in town

    Do GN600s exist? Have to do a helluva brake upgrade....!?

    So, you tried a GN 300 kit?
    Have you upgraded your brakes at all?

    Not sure your going too, but good luck.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.
