    Arrow Are you happy with your bike?

    The latest Bike has put these questions to its readers. I thought it would be interesting to see how NZ riders compared.

    I haven't regretted any of my bikes, however the Bandit has really grown on me. Also gives me a good feeling when the pillion screams with delight when I twist the throttle.

    My bikes awsome could do with some more of that thing called speed though.

    I love my bike (if I ever get it back!) b/c it's taken all over the place but I know it's less powerful thatn I'd like.
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    My three Hondas rock. My roadbike (Yamaha) is the bain of my life. The sooner I can rid of it the better. I shoulda bought a NZ new bike second hand instead this Jap import POS!!!!!!!!! I think a GSX250R may have been a better option as I didn't like the feel of the Kwaka 250. Bought the Yammie for 3300 and since spent 2100 on it. Damn I coulda just about bought a brand new bike for THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I hadda ridden a GSX. The vt250 is the most heinous thing I have ever seen. Just what I think.
    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrr

    And I have yet to find a Yamaha dealership I like to deal with............ Suz/Kwaka, and Honda delaerships generally just seem to be way more friendly, but I do shop around.

    My old Gixx suits me perfectly,it's insane and I am too
    The old turbo's just a rush every time I get on it.
    There may well be better things out there,but I'm in no rush to find out....

    The Gixxer 750 is cool. As long as you use the gearbox and the full rev range it will stay in touch with the litre bikes. As we live on the Wairoa road it is heaven for this bike. Top class brakes. Needed here to get you around the bloody goats that live on the road

    Well the bike shops aren't going to make much money out of us trying to sell us a new bike looking at the results so far (so they better try making it by servicing our bikes better hey ).

    My bike may be ageing, fat and kind of ugly (bit like its owner really), but now I've got it sorted I'm rapt with it again.

    At the moment it does everything I need from it.

    Maybe one day that will change. but right now, its good enough for me.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
