it's not a huge jump dude it's quite a nice bike just a bit heavy off the side stand cus of how raised the suspension is. it's got a very stable front end (edit one of the best ever imo) so you won't get problems from it. get a bank loan. it don't wheelie under power so it's not like you're going ot loop it. don't get scared by the big bike scaremongering bull**** on here.

Yeh, it seems to hold a fair bit of weight over the front so it's got the power to move, but it ain't gonna make the front light pulling too fast from the lights.

Not a bad jump from a 250, but as with anything, you just gotta take it easy when getting used to it eh.

I went from a zzr250 to this... but took it easy in the beginning, as I knew there was more power. Wheelie wise.. I have had the odd little skip (mainly with the help of crests) as the mods like the jet kit etc do give a bit of punch in the mid range. What I did like, was that despite the power, it wasn't quite the tyre shredding of big bikes (saw a mate get around 3k on his gsxr thou rear) while I still get 10k (unless a puncture kills it a couple of hundred short

)

As for a 06 10, shite... you ride some thing that has the plastic taken off the front etc, I'm doing 220+, and this n4cr weirdo goes past me on my own bike, coz his just went nuts with a light front end over a bump or 2, I didn't feel like crashing it, so backed off.

Couple of updates to the auction... moral of story, don't cover the bike with a cover until you have the details...

I must apologise... when I listed the bike, it was under a cover, so listed details according to educated guesses. Some updates: bike has 73855 on clock (1 extra fuel docket), and the rear tyre is a 180 (previous was a 190)

not one of you buggers bought it

oh well... up for offer at the mo, then its back on another auction. Cheers to Maverick and n4cr for those nice comments.

Anyone wanting it can obviously come through the forum if they wish...
