Best of British mate, new bikes are almost better than sex
What did you have prior? Or what's the fastest you have ridden? Will this be much of an upgrade in power?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

As Ive said in one of the previous threads the only bike ive owned previously was an SR250 so yes this will be an upgrade in power...but so would every bike this side of a scooter.
Will be taking it very cautious for quite awhile

lol classic. That was my last bike too. Was a real minter with only 21Km's on it (1988). Wrote it off on the 13th of June just gone & replaced it with a RF900R, yep its an upgrade alright, glad I didn't bother with anything less than a 600.

Its done 51k
Yeah I like the packrack, probably not much need around town but this is a toy so being able to do abit more travelling on it sounds good.
It has different clipons and the footpegs moved abit forwards to make the posture more upright too. I have the bits to put it back to stock but for now they suit me.

Tidy little bike.
They are little, certainly not as quick as a Jap 600 inline 4 but that's not the point of them - it's an absolute blast in the twisties.
I moved up from a VTR250 so 32hp to 53hp and 24Nm to 50Nm.
The increase in torque (and the fact that 70% of it is delivered by 3,000rpm!) just feels huge after the 250.
The paintwork on them is gorgeous too - so deep, so red, so shiny....
Service intervals are huuuuuuge too. And parts are cheap - don't let people tell you otherwise.

I havnt even had a chance to give it a wash yet let alone a polish. I picked it up in the rain so its looking pretty filthy at the moment. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like once I give in a proper going over.The paintwork on them is gorgeous too - so deep, so red, so shiny....

About to find that out soon. I need a new choke switch as this one is broken/missing. The PO told me its a hopeless stepped system and Im better adopting something else with a more analogue adjustment. Would you agree?
Scotsman on a German
Not really - only needed the choke on the really frosty cold mornings - use a touch of choke (first click) and use the analogue throttle for about 10 secs - engine is now warm enough to idle for a minute on first choke click then warm enough to idle with no choke at all

This is what your bike will look like once it's cleaned....minus the extra fairing vent of course (1997 year of manufacture only!).
