Which witch is Which?

[PaddyFZ1]

The thing is, the cred I'm aplying is based on reviews, not by people that own them, ride them day in day out, which is who I'm interested in hearing from. Most bikes are fab straight out of the box, it's not till they've done a few k's that the cobwebs clear and the real problems show themselves.

In that case you probably wont get too much info from the Gixxer riders on here. They only seem to clock up a few kms, then they are back to the shop to get a new one after they have sent it down the road without them.

Ain't that the truth One of my (occasional) riding partners has racked up just 16000km since new on his K2 and has just bought a K6. Willy-waving at its best, haha.

Dude, the best way to decide is to ride them.

Asking on these forums is only going to lead to you receiving one sided Neanderthal replies fuel by pure blinkered opinions. Having sold almost every type of bike, I think the best way is judging it on looks and how ya feel on the bike, if its a Honda that ya like the feel of the cool same goes to Suzukis or Yammies.

Just trust the voice in ya head, it knows what ya want....

BTW - The above only represents the minority.....

STOP HONDA BASHING YA BASTARDS

[Ozzie]

That just might have to be next Saturday's mission. A day of test rides! Might take a ride to Takapuna, hit all of them in one shot.

HOW EXCITING!

TL, Your secret is safe dude!

Mate - take 'em all for a blast - see if one stands out from the other - see if there is a reason you should NOT buy it (i.e. known faults/problems) and do it

[Deano]

I'm riding my 750 at the moment but everytime I getback on the thou it just feels like home.

Like home or the last flat you trashed ? p/t

Ignore all the dickheads in here Ozzie - test ride them all (oh what a chore....)


Then buy the Honda......., but really, pick the one you like best.

Guess that was the whole point of this thread, see if people would tell me about bad experiences with their rides, help me avoid a bad decision.

Might have been too hopefull.

I had a bad experience with my gixxer.

I was beaten by a honda.

I don't think it was the bikes fault though.

I am keen to hear such bad experiences,,,,,,although not a speed freak myself, I like to know I could be if I wanted!

[The_Dover]

Well, I went down to visit Mr Poo's and give the Welly Softcore the learn.

But that Deano is pretty fast for a geriatric on a honda.

He owned "one"...isn't that enough of a bad experience?

Hey what gives with the compliment bullshit ? You feeling ok ?

And I ain't that old - I haven't even hit middle age yet, 'cuzz'.

[N4CR]

Am quite fond of the Gixr, but those headlights, yuk. The blade and ninja both look better from the front, but neither have the cred.

The cred? Urr almost all of my non-bikey mates know what a 'ninja' is, they also usually know Hayabusa. That's about it. Noone knows a gsxxxxrrr is. They just laugh and see suzuki. Kawasaki on the other hand, is always fast. If you have a kwak it goes fast. According to them. Pretty true anyway
Infact alot of people know someone with a ninja or ask 'is that a ninja' etc. Great marketing by Kawasaki as far as I'm concerned.
But of course I have educated my friends about ghostrider, gsx-rs', r1's and turbo busas.

EDIT: HONDAS ARE FOR FAGS.

How do you know? Are you finding yourself strangely attracted to honda riders N4CR?

Those who throw stones.......

[QUOTE=Biohazard]Dude, the best way to decide is to ride them.

Thats all that needs to be said really, know what style of bike you want, hunt them out and ride them, i asked about 3 different bikes on here and got good/bad point's on all 3. So went and rode them, went i got on the Triumph i new it was the bike i wanted, loved the look/sound/feel..now its mine
