Darn wind is driving me crazy !!

I think you must mean the old black SR500 single because I thought you were long gone when I took the VF750 up North as it was only about 8 years ago. Lets see...TS185, XS250, XS360, GS750, SR500, XV500, VF750 and now the 600F. Could have been the XV500? Your old man had bikes too so it was predictable. Glad you enjoy riding so much and with someone whom shares the passion. Its a wonder I would allow you on the back without a proper lid too!!

Im sure it was the VF you had, It had a fairing.............maybe its wasn't black but thats all I can remember Funny how certain things stick your memory, that must of been back in 1987/88?

Yes I saw that and I was trying to work out what was wrong with the report and what I was seeing. You're dead right. Everyone esle was out running and strolling pass and shes whinging about a 130 kph wind and she cant stand up in it... dah.

[Lord Derosso]

I had the VF750 mid 90's from memory but it did have a half fairing and windscreen. Funny how the years go by. How is the Yamie anyway?

Ruddey nice. Better since Ive done the kms on it and got the feel of the bike. Was even better last weekend (5th) took it to Taupo......... yee haa. Want to try and achieve knee-down next time, concentrated on getting myself off the seat and managed to be chicken-strip free!

Canterbury has not been much better - hopefully summer will improve.

How does it compare to the Busa 1300? Did you ever open that thing right out in the back country? I have seen a few of the Tube clips of supercharged Busas and they sound mean as .

Yeah got to open it up a couple of times. Even with a pillion on the back as well There are not many places where you can do it now (specially up here) without being pinged or road condiotions etc... All I can say it has a similar power but obviuosly the Busa had a heap more torque. I would say it would be 'the best bike' for pillions.

[Lord Derosso]

The 600 lacks a bit of torque for sure but still handles a pillion fine. Shes an ideal step up from the 250 stage for learners I reckon as86HP isn't over kill. Still, its intended for my sole riding 99 % of the time though now I am back into riding I do feel I wouldnt mind a 900 or 1000 for that extra torque. Something like a 1000VF would make a good tourer for my distances and needs. Must go so will catch up another time.

Yeah, sorry guys Ive taken the thread right off track
