Hey nice to see that you are moving up in the world the new bike looks really tidy, i remember you were looking for a Balius... no luck aye or change of mind... tho i think the engine is very similar... we shud head for a ride sometime in the new year...

hay
good shit on the new bike should be a bit more fun then the kr just rember with the zxrs they use a bit of oil when you give them shit no matter how tight the engine is so make sure you to up the oil to full befor any long ride and cheek it weekly whilst comuting also they are very reliable but if you ride around at 19 grand all the time they have a tendancy to fuck cranks so i recomend to all my customers to try keep the revs below 16 as much as possible and it defanitly pays to run a fully synthetic 50 weight oil if you keep this in mind they are a fun reliable bike.
have fun and dont forget to watch out for all the idiots out there in cages .

Congrats on the new bike... think I met you on my first KB ride (Yoshi's Mystery Ride), and you were quick thru the twisty stuff then. Tried to follow your lines, but couldn't keep up!! LOL.

Hope the weather improves SOON!!

Nice! That looks alot like mine (KR150f) would look without the green.... Ive been thinking about re-painting my bike next year, really liked the idea of silver but wasn't too sure how it'd look. Nice.

You still don't know what torque is

ZXR250s don't have any, that's why you need 19,000rpm

Nice bike

ride a harley.... then youll know what torque is

**rc_36_rider** · 23rd December 2005, 14:24

ride a rocket three then you can laugh at hardlys and have more torque and style

Thanks for the good points on the oil RC Rider!

Nic, yeah I gave up on the Balius idea, there was none around that I liked, I recon this ZXR probably has better suspension and ride anyway.
Hows your bike going??
I still ride the KR as well, find it so much fun! dont think I can bring myself to sell it as it is such a mint bike.
