Laxed out rides

[Leyton]

Wont be coming to the Pub this Wednesday or Next Wednesday, I have night school I am learning to be a safe/educated motorcyclist.

This is so I can ride the R6... *Cough* MOahaha

I have already done 400km on it over to Tauranga and (around and back) on Sunday, 07 Yamaha YZF-R6 (Stock Standard at this stage). Picked her up on Friday afternoon from Waikato Yamaha they are doing a %6 finance on all new bikes so I thought what the heck... , Traded the Hyosung, You can see her parked out the front for $5999 in all her glory! Shining away there.

Disadvantages to the YZF-R6 ... 222km until the Fuel light comes on as apposed to the 360km I get on the Hyobag, However... a shit load more comfort and enjoyment riding it.

MAAAATTTEEE - nice bike, bloody reasonable price as well
Good on ya Leyton, you rode the Hoysung well, you shouldn't have any issues riding the R6
Look forward to riding with you soon

[Leyton]

Cheers dude

I can manage the R6 easyer then the Hyosung, however, there is alot to learn on this bike There is not much room for lazy habits like near straight arms when riding.. It seams to like your weight forward with a loose grip, and a shit load less stearing input. It tends to ride itself in some ways hehe I guess the Hyosung was quite primitive. I had a ride on my fathers GSX1100 1987 vintage and found it to be simular to the Hyosung for the fact you are actually unable to corner without forced counterstearing. It is quite amazing how far bikes have come.

I will be able to really start learning the bike more once I am insured for it I have not had it on angles anywhere near what I got the Hyosung, however, It is still just as quick around the corners! Shorter I guess, and a shit load more grunt on the way out I feel much safer on it strangely enough having a shit load more ponys. If I ask it nicely to pass, it does, no run up required. It is certainly a nice change.

$5999 is for the old bike The Hyosung.. Its sad seeing your first bike go hehehe

My guess is 250 then you start pushing. Thats being gentle on it.

I don't know, people that ride their big bikes without the required licences should be ashamed of themselves. And without insurance I might add...tut tut tut...

Glad you went with the r6. We can't have everyone riding around on 675, ah Spaz? It'll ruin the elite club we have going on. And at least now we are starting to get 'teams' within the group (675's, R6's, Gay Kwaka's) LOL.

It sounds like they're trying to move the Hyosung at that price. You must have taken a hit. All for the love of it ah mate

nice work.

[slofox]

Nope it doesn't

Does so...

You better look out Murray - Hitcher will get ya for posting my embed up there...well 'e bloody got me for that once...mutterrgrrrrrroink!

Hehe yeah I know, I said to myself I would never do it... But look! I am ! hehe however it is only for 1 month, and not alot of riding will take place so that was my justification I lost $1000 on the Hyosung but gained alot more then $1000 in priceless experience, Its just win win really :P I am not convinced I could have picked a better learner 250cc bike really, I bought it for $6500inc onroad

The R6 was selling cheap because they needed to clear it, and being new I took advantage of the finance deal Yamaha have going for new bikes at present, %6 over 3 years. So I was able to weigh up many veribles and purchase it the next day... .

I was close to getting a 02 R6 until I decided the deal was just to sweet on the '07, There is one more 07 R6 left there for $13,500 however it does not come under the %6 finance deal as it is a trade.

that explains the super cheap price - I was wondering how you got it so cheap

How many litres do you put in and at how many k's
Tank capacity = 17.41 litres

What ya getting at Warren?
I have about a 17 ltr tank - I can only put 17 litres in it?

I get 230 - 250 ks max on a 1200, I'm surprised you don't get more from an R6

Obviously someone calling themselves 'Scouse' from JAFFA land, got a bit upset at the post, red repped me with a whole bunch of profanities (obviously not a good mormon). I take it he is not part of the moron few, he actually thinks this is for real!
So for the record; I don't mean it, it's done in jest, I humbly apologise if I have offended any Mormons, pretend mormons (like the mormon few), Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Aliens or any form of Christians who don't like to be called catholic, half wits and wankers - in my last post.


Generally I find Hamiltonians have a good sense of humor and we all get on well - but i guess we should be careful not to offend or upset any of those overly sensitive riders from Auckland who occasionally look at this thread

scouse is a good dude, he is as free to express his opinion as you are yours.
he knows all of us in person.

Ha - so that was you, you must of been hitting the 2@@ or close to it
The CMA group went to Raglan for lunch, then headed back up 22.
They weren't a quick group, I was in the lead group, cruising about 120-130 max - while i like to occasionally melt my tyres in a fluster of speed, I enjoyed the day pootling with a large group of riders


A bit of traffic on Sunday, takes some of the fun off it when you have to dodge them all the time
the divi's to short - only just start to get into the divi and it's all over

yeah, till you discover the sides of it, and how hard a steep downhill on grass with road tires is at 150kph....
