Am I too big for a FXR 150?

[Aaron]

I sold mine a little over a week ago...

Mate, you sold it? Why, dreams of something bigger?

He got something smaller, Sj125.

Ah I see, am not familiar with that specific bike. Bet it runs on the smell of an oily rag

I'm 6foot2 and 85kgs
traded my FXR150 in 3 weeks ago.
the FXR lasted me about 6months before i grew out of it. good learners bike tho!
As far as i know, its sititng on the yard at Holeshot Suzuki on the north shore

Cripes, I may have bought it, and by the look of this thread payed through the nose for it. Green with about 8500k's on the clock? They're tryin' to sell them for $3200 at Holeshot, but I talked them down about $400 and got a good secondhand front tyre put on.

BTW, I'm 5'11, weigh about 90kg and the fxr seems to pull me along fine, was bogging under 6000rpm in 4th with the wind today though, but over about 8000 she's got all the go I need for now.

Yep!
The FXR 150 will do ya fine, Did you end up buying one or not?
I had one for a good while, did me fine, i weight about 90 kg, didn't do bad at all i think.

i have a FXR 150 bucket racing bike and it was completly stockand i got mine up 165 (with different gearing) on a straight in a hillbilly town- i weigh 75kg and am 5foot9 awsome little bike and are very forgiving- if you get one that has the standard tires on them change them thay are dangerous!!! get some dunlops or the likes

Anyone got a picture of a naked fxr 150?

Mines gonna be soon

[Genesismatrix]

I think you should get on okay im 6ft3 and a bit over 100kg and i get on okay with the FXR have a good look at your mirrors though as i have big problems seeing anything exept my elbows and am looking for a set of larger after market ones.

STORKEN is about that tall, 10 and half stone, whatever that is in kilo's. Took FXR for test ride out on New Plymouth - Oakura Highway. Bike easily will sit at 120k's plus. Lovely bike but some have bum engine, so either test or get someone to test for you. 150cc's would almost be better around town than 250.

[jeremysprite]

wth are you doing at 2am, searching year-old threads???
I guess it's a phase every new KB member must go through...

[STORKEN]

Waiting 'till 3:00am so I can hit up my methadone. I find I can't sleep when I've got a takeaway dose.
