    Never mind all that. You have to ask yourself why someone would feel the need to upgrade after a mere 6 months from a 250 to one of the more powerful production bikes on the market. It could well be compensation for an inferiority complex. Or it could well be that he has become such an expert rider that he is now ready for a 1000 cc machine. In light of his recent crash, I think not.

    Look - like it or not, there is a culture among bike riders where there is a not-so-subtle link between stature and bike size. Maybe Mr X has succumbed to the insidious pressure of this...

    Whatever...
    Glad you took it that way. I was waiting for the reply of doom.
    Inferiority complex maybe, heh but associating that with penis size... rah.
    Anyway. Pet peeve (errr nothing to do with penis size, hah).

    Maybe after he rides one he wont be as confident about getting one.

    Meh.
    I didn't take it any way, but I thought you sounded upset and needed a little placation.
    As for me, I'm in a mood....
    ... and that's what I think.

    innit funny--I thjink theree are only what 3 guys in new zealand that can honestly say they have explored the limits of a gsxr1000's abilities
    I guess its nice to know the bike is capable if you can just get your skill level up.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    But the guy that gets impressive lap times around Puke is still the better rider.
    I wasn't talking about looks, but balls........ With riding the bike generally out performs the rider, therefore the majority of the battle for going very fast around corners is a mind battle, just like braking, my mind tells me to start braking at the 125m mark...... but i force myself to brake at the 80metre mark...

    Also i was tlking about the fact he couldn't ride a small bike well, therefore needed a larger bike to make up for that..... He wants the looks to go fast, but we all no it aint to do with looks at all......

    Either way im sure its too much of a jump for this guy and he jus wants to look cool. For all we know he might be doin this cus all the other 250 riders are quickier than him and he believes the way to fix that is get an 1000cc.

    I no i can jump from my 250 to a 1000cc (ive riden a 1200cc) but i would much rather get a 600cc as if i go for the 1000 i will hold my self back in skill level. This is because i wont b giving it as much as i would a 600 because of the mind sayin no its gonna throw ya if ya do that and bein me it probably would.

    So point out hes a fool for thinkin after he crashed he can jus b the best and ride a 1000 piece of piss and talk some sense into him and say bout 600s being a really good stage up.

    I was actually thinking of you when this thread was posted, Wenier. Remember when we first met up and you were wanking on about how you'd be da man if yopu had an R1 and we all laughed at you. Now that I've ridden with you some and got to know you, I have no doubt that you'd be right as rain on a litre bike. The fact you realise that a 600 is a better bet, speaks volumes for your maturity. Good skills.

    Just so happens I know a guy with a 600 for sale........

    Talking

    most males seem to have a love of "bigger is better"which works fine at a drag strip,but not always on the road/track.

    He might want to get some advice from somebody who isn't trying to sell him a bike -like me Take your hand off your you know what and try a modern 600. If he chooses a GSXR1000 I am sure the motor can be put to good use by a happy sidecar racer after he has written the bike (and probably himself) off.
