This man is in bad need of English, grammar and punctuation lessons - quickly

One can only hope his riding abilities exceed his writing abilities.

I'd been around oh, about 34 years by the time you took your first ride so I've had tons of time to polish-up my English etc.

Congrats. on the 'some punctuation' it's a start

if you think about it, a gn isn't that slow. it still has potential to turn corners as fast as any other bike

you mean if it had decent forks and a frame that didnt bend? i can pull upwards of 20k over the gn in most corners on a bros, without even trying

thats why i said "it has potential". i bet if rossi jumped on one, he would kick you sorry ass while you raced on the 650

.....around corners, even rossi cant add an extra 40hp

Might not be suitable for scenic drive, but it'd be a good fun for Kopu-Hikuai

The 2.5 is the competition engine. The 3.0 is a nail compared to the 2.5.

For that you need a supercharged AW11. (Old shape MR2 for the ignorant).

if a gn has that much potential then so has your harley with more modification required for the harley i mean hardly worth calling a motorcycle davidson id rather the gn any day at least the gn has a small amount of ground clearence and about the same power to weight ratio

hey the gn isnt that bad

it has probably got a better power to weight ratio, handles and stops better and doesnt break down all the time...
