    Throw me the key/ glove then.

    i could beat that laptime in a van.
    that would be cause a van has four wheels for traction instead of two timmay!

    Might wanna get that sv checked out if it doesn't accelerate as fast as a van.... van has lower cornering speed due to higher centre of gravity.

    where did i even so much as imply that 4 strokes dont have powerbands?

    in saying that a 2 stroke powerband has a shitload more kick you up the nuts effect than any 4 strokes powerband will give you...

    my katana hits powerband around 6k... it takes off...yep... but not like a blimin 2 stroke...

    i have enough for comparison on all of this, i have owned over 15 bikes in 4 years... ridden a couple of hundred. this makes me no expert correct, but its more than most.

    You just made yourself wrong by saying "hitting the powerband". You were in the "powerband" since you turned the key. And there is no mysterious X power that makes a two stroke "kick you up the nuts" power harder hitting than a four stroke, it just comes up more rapidly to its peak power range, so of course going from a steady 30hp to 45 hp over a small increment in RPM is going to seem to kick harder. Riding all the bikes you want doesn't mean shit, it means nothing if you can't understand simple words

    I should take the following advice because it's fairly obvious you don't have a clue about two strokes

    Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

    Rubbish depends on all those things I already said about, ride a GT550 or better yet the 750 that Ixion has and you might get a clue to what I'm talking about

    Pffffft is that all, there's quite a few of here who were riding bikes long before you were even a cumstain in your mummys underwear

    Good to see your on form again Skiddy.
    lol
    I enjoy reading these threads of yours, plus seeing all the sheep come flocking in to it. Falleing over themselves with as many funny statements as you make.
    Keep it comeing its a hoot to read. lol
    Any ways,
    How was work today Mark?
    Good to see that you are now classed as a professional after the training we gave you last year, and can claim the top pay rate where your working to.
    lol
    Now everybodys wondering WTF???? Skiddy working???A Professional??
    Yes a professional, A person with purpousfull working knowlage in a skill.
    So when any of you guys can go out and beat Mark in one day at the job he has been trained at, you have the right to give him shit.
    But I know there are probably only two or three KB memebrs who would be capable of doing that, most of you would lack the disapline or dexterity to be able do it.
    lol
    I guess that soon to be argued as wrong .
    Keep this thread going , its a fun read.
    Looking forward to reading some more shite from the abuse sheep
    And yeah I cant spell for shite

    So just where is it he's using that professional knowledge and training these days?

    You're talking about the Alchemy frame? too easy built by V2

    No, it's the noise a 'roo makes when it has a Ducati wedged up its bum.

    if you actually knew anything, it wasn't the engine in the triple - it was the frame that couldn't handle it. the engine output was actually under 100hp (factory). the originals were only around 75hp - just a little more than a well tuned RS250 nowadays

    you obviously don't know how to 'use' a powerband
