    You run down beginners...you slag off anyone that dares think that bikes you don't like are good...you think you're an expert. You're a fucking wankstain.

    We were ALL beginners at some stage.

    It's 100% OK to be one.

    If someone likes a bike, or a type of bike you don't like...that's ok.

    How small is your cock?
    I lol'd then I ROFL'd then I wee'd a bit.

    I don't really know much about them, but what's the best model out there at the moment to go for with around a 10k budget? Seems to mainly be sportsters, which seem to get a bit of shit but actually look like they're more ridable than some of the bigger options?

    After a trawl through trademe this is what I found and thought about a few options. Feel free to add your thoughts:

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-986510444.htm

    Good price for KM's, doubt it has been hammered at all, but has been sitting.

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-985926417.htm

    Untested setup (only 400kms), shorter fuel range (what should you expect from one of these anyway? 150k?) but should be much more responsive than a standard 1200?

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=982486249

    Few little extras, but price is high compared to the one above.

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=979120413

    Impractical as fuck. But looks kind of 'interesting'

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=932250384

    Wild card. Wrong brand, over budget but would be a way better buy than a sportster?

    I didn't really ask about pillion, but assume 2up will be rare and short if at all.
    How tall/short/heavy/light is he?

    He needs to try a few on for size if he's coming back after a while. Comfort = confidence

    Otherwise...go the Victory.

    WAY
    more bang for the buck

    $10K? Casbolts had a couple of well priced Sporties in there some weeks back. Was not looking for Hogs when last in but may be worth a call. They are next to the local HD dealer and get a fair number of Hogs as trades ........

    Me - I like the Sporties - the wee one is gutless and I would avoid it unless it has a big bore kit - the 1200 pulls just fine.

    Are the new 500's chain drive? Have a older KB friend who has looked at one. He quite likes the looks and the low seat height.

    From what I know unless he's on L's he wants the 750, if they're bringing them into NZ that is?

    Not at this stage, because they're not lambs, and would steal too many sales from the 883.

    Yeah supposed to be gruntier, comfier and possibly a better build out of India than what they're getting in the states by the sounds

    Mate, I have my gorgeous GF on hand. Nothing pent up about me. I just (obviously) struggle with people that are always negative and down on everyone else's idea of good.

    Can't recall a single positive post from that chap. And he loves to throw it out there...so gotta be able to have some back is how I see it.

    Just havin a laugh with one of the few here that has a sense of humor LMAO.
    Rarely post these days even in the MotoGP threads which I seldom wander out of to wider KB.
    Just lurk, got sick of all the shit the mods let through when they are very quick for busting you for "ignoring forum etiquette"
    They even let the MotoGP and ese threads turn to personal shit and insults over the last month or so.
    Ah well its the place they want it to be, put up or fuck off I guess LOL

    Each to their own my life's to busy to give a shit about scrapping on the net.
    Just wasting time atm till the Girl friends flight gets in from Napier. I really should be in the garage building the postie.
    ah I hear a car off for a cuddle me thinks
