Thread: Motu's in love.

  1. #1

    Motu's in love.

    Motu thinks this is the bike for him - please explain to him that it's fucking bug ugly,and people would laugh at him on an ugly bike - he thinks he doesn't care,but deep down he plays for the crowd.

    What he really needs is this,it's pretty and made for a weakling like him.

    Motu -- it probably matches the colour of your eyes. I recommend you follow your heart, but PLEASE don't wear matching leathers...

    Damn. I had that one on my watch list.

    Now everyone knows about it...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    That 750 would be a real GRUNT machine. Pretty cool

    I'm sure if you get it dirty enough it won't look so ugly, and people will stop laughing!

    Nah - I'm just dead keen to see what one of these is like - I had its predecessor - the IT400 - which was wicked fast ...

    You lunatic.
    Git yer yerself down here fer a good slapping afore you do anything stoopid...

    What's the point of taking the motor out of an evil handling, no stopping pig like that, and swapping it fer a donk that is undoubtedly heavier and which almost certainly puts out LESS HP than the old one...

    The second one is nearly as dumb, unless yer gonna use your patented DRZ dismount method on it....

    Ahhh,I didn't see the YZ490 Celtic - no thanks,I've ridden them,and those things are literaly unbelieveably fast...a couple of snaps on the throttle,snick a couple of gears and next thing you are going way,way too fast for where ever you happen to be - a magnet for 7 wire fences.See how the seat is a bit rippled? I'd say he sucked the seat cover clean off on his last ride - but he's not telling.

    The Yamasaki would be a dream bike on a gravel road,it's got a low centre of gravity and power everywhere - rear wheel steering at the touch of the throttle,top gear wheelspin....ooohhhhh....I wanna ride it sooooo bad!

    I'm looking for a small trail bike to do trail rides with - I don't want some balistic banzai rocket,just something to suit my age and abilities - but all the little bikes have crap suspension and brakes.This YZ with the XR200 motor looks like just what I need,a motor I really enjoy riding with,but in a frame with good suspn handling and brakes.But a YZ250 has a seat height level with my chin - I might go and have a looksee.Need to sell a few things first,but the timings not right at all.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen that yamasaki thing sitting on Bruce McLaren road in Henderson more than a month ago with a for sale sign on it. I didn't stop for a closer look though.

    Is a low center of gravity really good for a trailbike? I think one of the instructors at Passrite said that trailbikes' higher center of gravity made them more maneuverable.
