Gixxer k6 thou - test ride

[texmo]

Well for starters I havent really ridden anything bigger than 400 not really, So I am a virgin to the speeds that a bike of this caliber produces.

The power? fuck who cares, its the handeling, brakes, stability and balance that got me you just look at a corner and you go around it. the first thing that got me though is how deceptivly fast it is, you just dont realise how fast your going till you look down. And the power... fuck me the tyre comes up when you give the throtle a gentel tap and when your in high revs in thrid you fucking know about it, the 180 plus speeds in second is just bezerk. I was having the time of my life, Where do I sign my soul to get one of these machines?

So I hit the high speeds that this bike allowes you to and after a while I think fuck I have 20 demerit points left and I dont wanna crash dovers 3rd bike, So I slow right dont to a crawling pace I was going SOOO SLOW and not 2seconds later a cop is coming the other way I peep down and fucking im doing 128 grab the anchours and I watch the HP car get smaller in the rear view well there wont be another on this road so I tap the throttle a little scince im almost home to get one more rush, all good I turn off the road in which no. 2 was written off and head home along the main road. thats when I hear the dreaded noise, lots of traffic infront of me and a HP car with its lights on behind me so I pull over thinking I hadnt done anything wrong and wait for him to pass me, But no he pulls up right behind me "oh fuck" I forgot about the dovers I too cool to run a number plate. So the cop gets me for no plate $200 and over a 250cc $400. In allfairness he was a nice guy and didnt do me for no rego/wof which were with the plate. And he also imformed me of numerous complaints about a bike doing way over 100 in a 50 zone. Its black has number 3 on the front and has no plate on it.... no guesses which bike it was.

Any way great bike and for $20k its a bargin I mean fuck you buy it for $20k you will lose what $5k over a 5 year period or something pathetic like that? its fun to ride, comfy, lots of room, easy to ride, fast, reliable and it has chick appeal.

Thanks dover..

5K? Closer to 9K over 5 years me thinks.

But yes, the current GSXRs are extremely cool.

But then, have you had a sit on a current model R6? Feels smaller than my 400. I would like a ride on one even more..

Oh to win Lotto..

[texmo]

Meh $9k is nothing I would sell my soul and hole, for one of these babbys. pitty I have lost my licence though...

[aff-man]

oh god that's funny....

[Kornholio]

oh god that's funny....

Lol thats a fucking hoot....

[SixPackBack]

Went past the cop wagging his finger, kind of ironic as after my ride today the constabulary would have been non to impressed at the speed I was traveling...[up to 115kmh at one stage ]. The cop looked pretty heated Texmo

[N4CR]

Haha, I think you missed a hundy or so on that number eh spb

[boomer]

Sorry to hear of your taxation problemos; Glad to hear you had fun though

Get Dover to invest in a radar.. no more guessing where the buggers are then

[texmo]

I saw you pass me andrew and you didnt stop I know you knew whos bike it was... and enigma just passed me not 1min before. The cop gave me a little leacture he rides bikes and its people like me that give him a bad name. Apparently there was a bike doing over 100 in a 50 before it was black had 3 on the front and no number plate, I am sure it was more like 193 but never mind...

When I pased the cop boomer I wasnt speeding but he keep on going then did a ue because I had no number plate. forgot there wasnt one on there, as im sure a k6 thou is slightly faster than some 2tonne v6 automatic holden.

[boomer]

Was Enigma on his own? he should have been with Murray? We'd gone to Waihi(?) - whanga's(?) and they headed back up SH1 while we did Miranda.

I'm sure the bike is a tad faster.. i was gonna say that you should have plea bargained with teh rozza.. told him u were in 2 minds of doing a runner but cos you stopped you think its worth a 50% discount!!

ps ..wheres Dover.. is he still banned?

[Big Chim]

good work on getting the photo. did you ask the cop to smile as well. Well Done

Sounds pretty mean! Cant wait to get my full, to get a real bike

[SPORK]

Only $200 for no plate? That's a pretty good deal, methinks.

I tried that, though not being so blatant...only got me a 6km/h reduction...which let me keep my licence...until I realised that the last 50 points I got hadn't expired (12 days short). F.....
