    1. It's got manners and is very easy to ride.
    You got that right! You have to have good manners yourself to ride one fast though...they are a very powerful motorcycle indeed, and if you can learn to harness that power you will be one happy camper!

    hehe... talk about a one track mind

    submitted on Friday, supposed to find out within about a week

    Blackbird: an outside option, CaN has offered a ride on his on the runway at Whenuapai, when doing the Bronz course, might take him up to see what its like...

    CBR600F: definitely on the list as an option, haven't been able to find heaps to sit on, haven't been looking really hard tho...

    FJ1200: no offence to Sarge, but the look of it doesn't exactly excite me.

    GSXR750: was able to sit on an 88 on the coro ride, not bad size wise, but did struggle a bit on seat to peg length, probably could be adjusted though. Could have sworn the pegs were at different heights

    Could always just get a cruiser. Then no worries about being cramped. Don't worry about it not being your style, they are everyones style lol. And ask Slash if he ever has trouble keeping up with sportbikes on his 800. Though he drags pegs and pipes alot sooner in a corner than I do lol.

    Matey - I don't want you to go through what I went through.

    Almost bought this - 1992 ZXR400 with 3,500 genuine k's on the clock - looked like it was straight of the show room floor and he only wanted 3,800

    Just make sure you can get that bloody piece of paper before you go building your hopes up.
