Must say the RDs were certainly a buzz when I was young, that powerband was a nice mad touch, owned a GT 550 triple which was quite a screamer too.

Yeah the Busa is awesome for getting out and about doing the distance but a hand full round the hills, The Gixer is the other way around..... and wayyyyyy better at wheelies, But still I stick to the 1st post in this thread as the most thrillingOriginally Posted by Qkchk

1972 Suzuki TS90 - god damn they were fun - 75mph on the m/w no shit (was hot)
1977 Yamaha TZ750 god damn fast for back then 160-180mph Puke back straight
1973 Yamaha XS2 when the frame flexed & flexed & flexed etc
1970 Kwaka H1 500 frame flex wheelies no brakes
1972 Kwaka H2 750 more than above
1973 Kwaka Z1 with single disc & Cheng Shin tyres
1979 Honda CBX 6 cylinder
It is better to have ridden & crashed than never to have ridden at all
.... a bit predictable.... but the bike I have now...(R1) . Over 10,000rpm ....its just un-kin-believable.... warp drive !!!
HERE
WT's K3...
Sheeesh that gave me a massive adrenaline rush
The world will look up and shout "Save Us!", and I'll whisper "no"
yep it was lowered, came from a guy up north.
Yep,had one of these things too (2000)......the only real adrenelen rush was trying to get the bloody thing to stop and corner at warp 9......not real exciting doing 300+ the bloody thing just sits there accelerating,fun the first couple of times but it wears off. (btw 3500k from a rear?what were you doing,commuting?)Mind you 250k wheelies are something else....still stable as too even on the rear.Originally Posted by murhf3
But the turbo still scares the shit outta me when I ride it,even after getting off the 12.Sorry folks if you haven't ridden a hooted up turbo you'll never really appreciate what myself and speedpro are on about.....

Just say the word and I'm there guys, Allthogh My Turb was more like the powerband of a nifity 50 in comparasion to your 2 bikes (McZ1, ZX) I do have an Idea of what hides behind those bikes, not that I'd ever really find out the full extent if I was to ride them.... I'd still chicken out way before 200hp arived.Originally Posted by DEATH_INC.
