Nice one. Blowing like a bastard in welly today. Reckon Dafe's bike is a bit quiet, but each to his own. Yours WILL be quiet compared to your old twin I imagine.

yep the TL was a loud bitch...infact I never came accross another bike loader than my TL...you should pop into dave andersons some time and ask dave or mark [short.with curly hair] to start it up....and have a play with the throttle

I left home at about 12:30...and pulled out of my road and turned right....to martinborough...then hung a left into princess street...went the back way to marsterton and through marsterton via the by-pass and off to hawkes bay...awesome ride...a bit blowy around eke and danni-vagas but awesome otherwise....went along HW50 at the takapau plains turn off...and let her rip...what a buzz [and chicken strips offically removed]...especially ripping through and over the wakarara's...cruzed into the bay feeling awesome...I love this bike...playing with the gearbox....keeping her on the boil...that induction roar...outstanding...the exhuast how ever is as loud as a sparrows morning fart...that needs to be sorted...lol

Had a coffee and a yarn with my mom and sis for a few hours and took off again...and the ride home just as blissful...

yeah I know the road pretty well....and know where and where not to see the boys in blue...and they're pretty good around hawkesbay anyway...quite often just get the headlight flash and the wavy finger at around 120-ish....from the bay boys in blue...

Well its easy to know where and where not to see them on a 750 gixxer you see them at 1/8th throttle and you dont see them at 1/2 throtle, better make its full throtle for full grin factor though

down grade as in size??? or ???

I tell ya...the 750 gsx-r is a awesome size bike....I rode a k4 600...and thought it was awesome handling bike...and it was....just a little underpowered...when coming off a TL...the 750 luckily has the identical chasis but an xtra 150cc....and its a good 150cc...the xtra power over the 600 and having the 600 chassis it feels brillent.....

and I know colmens have there demo 750 forsale as of last monday...1600km on the clock...and about 16500 to a cash buyer....

Well I sez... seizing the opportunity.. you could be right... after all the TL takes a 190 rear and the 750 a 180 rear.. theres a saving already I say! And she pipes up with her head stuck in the filing cabinet... look here, you will save a couple of hundy in insurance with a 750. Also surly fuel would cost less.. it has a smaller engine.

Soo I go to Colemans and they come up with a few "fix these minor issues"... (brake discs getting down etc..) and we can do a deal.
So on Wednesday most of the "issues" will be resolved.
I will look seriously at the deal closer to the lifting of my disqualification.

you go man....the wife approves too....

....the 750 will leave yout TL for dead in a straight line let alone around corners....
and I ca say far more economical so far....227km to fuel light on and 13.7 litres to fill the tank up again...compared with around 160-170 km on my TL till the fuel ligh came on...and similar volume to fill again...thats a big fuckin difference...

**skelstar** · 4th December 2005, 22:58

So about 18-19km/h (cant find calculator quicky). Not bad.
