Texmo has graduated

Aha! An admission from within the scooter camp that scoots are in fact not real motorbikes!!

I hope you enjoy your new Honda Texmo, CBR's are generally great bikes.

Not sure he said that, but yup he DEFINITELY said that his CBR has more power, better brakes, better handling, more grip and a better frame.

Looks good, but left side looks like a small gravel rash like mine, not road but small scratches. Weird.

My imported FZR has some weird scratches on it too. Wonder what its from?

I assume you've got the hang of the kill switch since Friday, Texmo?

[Zed]

Horay for being up late! What age is considered to be a little kid? So booorreeddd.....

You should be asleep kid, dreaming about the adventure you'll be going on one of these days with motorcycling!

[Magua]

Nice one Texmo, load up some pictures.

[Zed]

Not sure he said that

Lol, i'm not sure either but let him defend the comment...maybe i'm right!

I have been riding scooters for 15months and now motorbikes for 2days

[inlinefour]

Enjoy the new bike.

Welcome to the fold Texmo, now go ride that sucker hard.

I put Dunlop GPR-70s on my bike recently and it's feeling the best it's ever felt, so if you want a change from the pirellis, try them.

As for the Thread Hijackers,

I can proudly say that as far I am aware first thing texmo did was bring his beast over to mine (possibly to gloat a little) so I helped him find some speed along the NW. shes a good little ripper texmo you handle it well.

gpr 70s are the best for those, but not if you commute lots you will chew through them fast as, or at least square it off pretty bad

On Friday the 28th at about 5pm I brought a CBR250RR, its got 23,000km on the clock and is a fresh import and was vined half an hour before I picked it up, It has 2 cracks in the fairings one is about 5cm long and isn't noticeable, and the other is about 1cm long, It has perralli diablos on the front and dragons on the back, I had it dynoed at Red Barron and it has 36.6psi at the read wheel with a top speed a little over 180km/hr. Its red blue and white with the prominent colour being red ( opposite colour scheme to Cibby Chicks bike ).
Well now that I have told you about the bike and etc...
I cant get over the handling even on the new tyres has more grip and better handling than my scooter by a long shot, The frame is so solid it doesn't warp when coming out of corners and the brakes.... the back brake it better than the front and back combined on the scoot, Power wise It ain't nothing amazing although when It got over the 180mark was a bit of excitement. I am still glad I did my time on scooters taught me the fundamentals of riding, I also have no self restraint and can almost guarantee I would be 6 feet under if I had something with as much poke as this, I have been riding scooters for 15months and now motorbikes for 2days, Bit of a pointless drivel starting to happen and I'm tired from all the riding so I wont be going on any more, other than that Postie rode it today and was impressed from what I gather and Buggjuice took some pics hopefully he will post them for all to see..

now you can stop wanking on about your shit house scooter aye tex...lmao

You clowns were testing the top speed of your 250's on the NW? That takes balls aye...I'd have thought there'd be cops galore out there, and you fellas ain't got a lot of chance on a straight, empty road.

Indy, you are the ESSENCE of pointless drivel

good god no

what I MEANT to say was. we went up there to get to the track thats up there to test our speed on that . we dont break the posted speed limit on the road. good lord no.

[Toast]

we went up there to get to the track thats up there

Oh, that track...Old North Road/SH16...ok That one's a bit safer than the motorway bitty.

[texmo]

Well, Did my first open road riding today and thats where the bike came into its own I am impressed with it thats for sure, I still love scooter think they are cool ect, but bikes are purpose built for speed that why I like scooters my scooter should do 0-100 in undaer 5 seconds quite easily and I dont care who you are but when your driving your WRX with its chromies and a scooter drags you off you would feel like shit.
Got the hang of that kill switch didnt even know it was there I had owned the bike for about 5mins man.... I had it pinned open today and didnt go much past 180 on the speedo so it must have been my imagination last time...
After that, im happy with it and will see you fullas around, I am not going on another KB ride for a while as I will die I went fast today probbly a little too fast for my skills.
I am just gonna find that track day thing in december to book my place...
Also I need crash buffers as I will drop it or someone will backinto it ect as a courier bike anybody know if they are avaliable and my bike it too quite I want it to be louder so people can hear me as its dangerous out there and every little bit helps....
