    Put a larger sprocket on the front of Monies ninja today, heaps better for highway riding It was doing 100 kms at 7000 rpm now is doing 120 kms at 7000 rpm and she dosnt feel that its lost any get up and go. Being a six speed the gears are real close together so the bike seems to like the change

    took a zxr250 '08 for a ride the week i bought my TL as the guy who owned the shop didn't have anyone to rate it.

    i got my knee down on it quite happily.

    engine is happily responsive and will go hard if you need it.

    oh..and my second favourite bike ever is a cbr250rr.

    why are all zxr250a&c model riders (and most 600, 750, 900 and 1000) total assholes? is it like owning a subaru, makes you think you're the coolest thing on the road? grow up, dude. its just a motorbike.
    original quote from 98tls - Who gives a shite about Kw when you can all arrive in Fox at the same time sit and have a coffee and thank fuck for motorcycles..whatever the wording on the gas tank.

    The 08 Ninja is not the new ZXR it's the new GPX if anything.

    ZXR is inline 4 USD's (fuck yer bite me).....clips ons ....sexy time!

    hey! Skiddy is not representive of kwaka riders. If he was riding anythign else he would still be a tosser.

    Ashhurst is kwakaville. And we dont go round thinking we are cool. We know it.

    haha yeah I know but I still have 9 weeks left on this course.... The nights are only going to get later and the weekends busier.....By end of the course the weather may not support regular riding unless I buy one of them huge silver bikes with heated grips and windscreen wipers.
