Buy a Motard Kim and be cool

**klyong82** · 6th December 2007, 17:02

Buy a CBR and you are cool too. Well I would not mind a Motard but after hearing the amount of money needed to maintain one I think it is gonna be expensive.

I've only ridden a 250 CBR... Ahem!!! Kim?! Ahem!!! So can't really comment on the 'ol CBRs. I'm sure the newish ones would kick ass though.

Hey 250's where it's at!

**Macstar** · 6th December 2007, 20:26

250s are great, till you try a four hundee! I ditched my 2 fifty after a couple of months and got two 400cc bikes back in the days.

Edit: That sounds a bit wankee, I am impressed with CBRs 250, Ninjas 250 and of course my old RGV 250. On the tight stuff a good rider on these bikes can hold his own with the larger bikes.

Hey Kim check this out mate:

I kept forgetting the film man was on a 250cc tho and would leave the shot!

Hold the phone Squiggles:............ haven't you heard? You can't admit to do doing anything remotely foolish or dangerous on KBer anymore or you get your ears bashed by hundreds of fucken old geezers that have finally learnt how to use the internet and think we want to hear their opinions!

(I refer to EJs crash thread)

yeah well if it was in it's pre-crash condition i'd say 5 and no lower

but last time i saw it... well i won't comment as he's trying to sell it

as i said, 3 would be what i would pay for it considering i'd want to fix the fairings

**Squiggles** · 6th December 2007, 23:11

Wasnt even 15, aunts bike in her paddock, made me decide to get a road bike (only had an MR50 at that point

) I'm sure i could've gone 100 but boy 70 was fast after the MR

lol @ EJ's thread, i thought the pictures in the other one were asking for it to happen... Now, i wonder if i can find any scorpio bits on tardme/ebay

He'll have to bring it round for me to tinker with

Perhaps have a groupie with rob who wants to do up his fairings too

i remember taking my fxr for a ride through the paddocks... road supspension is not built for that kind of terrain!

and yeah, when ej was taking pic on the other ride i was thinking the same thing.... ironically there was a crash but long after the photo shoot

Yer, all drops i've had follow a trend. Its an "I dont respect the bike fully for what it is, then later on i get taught a lesson" trend

Bring the viffer, i'll try google some shit for us to knock around and think about doing
