    ...on top of the bits earlier in the year, it reminds me of that 'my grandfather's axe' adage, only instead of "it's had 3 new handles and 2 new axe-heads" it's "That's the same gixxer, only it's had 3 new motors and 2 new bodies..."

    I have just had the GSXR250 and now the 600. Would be pretty mean to have a 1000 some day...

    I wonder how many WT has had so far...
    250, 400, 750, 600, 750, 1100, 1000.

    That's only 7. I thought I'd owned more.

    Hmmm, dunno about that. WT seems to have a few of them over the last 11 months. They don't seem to last too well at all.

    Sure they do.

    The Trashman just performs a public service by lovingly initiating them before sending them out into the world to seek their fortune.

    There's a guy in Napier with the old blue&white model 1100 (86?) The guy has had it from new & done 200,000 Km - never had the head off. I know the mechanic that services it. I doubt that any Yamaha will beat that.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I'll let you know when it happens - not too long now.

    That's pretty damn impressive but I heard (urban legend?) of bmw's that have managed to beat that. Still something to be proud of never-the-less.

    The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

    One of our mechanics had an 87 Gixxer Seven, 160,000 miles with nothing done other than cam chain and valve clearances.

    I've never had a single mechanical failure from one. I've destroyed a few though

    I've had several mechanical failures with Suzukis & it required a huge leap of faith to buy another... but now I am happy with my choice. My ZX6R (with 30kms) made 10 more hp than my R6 Yamaha racebike with 3kms. My old gsxr750 made the R6 seem like a toy.
    ..it's another red light nightmare..
