Its the 07 Limited edition, having said that i still like my 250 , have learnt that thing backwards, i hope to have similar skills on my zx10 - after about 12 mths or so, im also learn to ride on waiheke island, figure if u can survive those roads as a biker u can survive pretty much anything
Has jumped the tasman
Congratstake it easy

Keep your eyes well ahead up the road - Youll be arriving at that point a bit quicker than the 2 fiddy gets there....... (they got good brakes though)

Dang straight , also going out for advanced rider training (not on my ninja) some time round feb , when i get time off work, plus i got an ex racer , and current rider of an r1 modifed to give me some schooling on it, how is the traction on a bike like that tho? , do i have to worry about the back spinning alot or is it only if i provoke it via over reve ?
parting of the sensory
GPX250... ZX10... :spudwhat:
Same same, I reckon.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...

Sure did, very carefully for 3 mths , as well as trying to pick up as much info about the bike/tips as i can to prep for it. Before shifting up i made sure i could do just about anything on my gpx, even went and did a referesher in trail riding. To be honest im kinda freaking a bit about it but i figure that will keep me from doing something stupid like droping from 3rd into second and opening the throttle up - only to end up looking at sky

What i would really like is tips for cornering aproach speed etc, breaking distance, how the big bikes like to be treated , maintinance etc . thanks guys
