    the fact it's sitting in the garage while it pisses down outside.
    It wasn't me, it was like that when I found it. Honest.

    I HATE my side stand. Its the most useless, badly designed piece of crap after thought that anyone has ever put on a motorcycle. If I owned the company that made my bike I would find the person the designed this stand and the idiot team that thought that would work and fire their sorry butts. Its a joke of a stand. Nearly lost my bike off the stand 3 times this weekend.
    Apart from that its a bloody great machine.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    I look/feel like a total numpty changing into neutral and then stuttering around trying to find 2nd and shedding speed... grrr!

    I also wish it had just a bit more top end. I don't really want to go very fast but I really feel like it's revving it's tits off at 100kph
    Sorry to hijack..
    I have the same bike, i found it easier to shift up to second and bring it back down the neutral, lot easier that way. And i know what u mean with the second, thats y every 1-2nd change i do, i do with "purpose" hahah not just a wee tap, but a big flick..

    hope that helps haha.



    Now what i dont like about my bike... can cruise at 110-120, but nothing faster, and cant overtake anyone on long straights.. bastards just speed up when theres a passing lane..

    Nothing, for a 250 my bike's the business.

    But in general, I am impatient for something with more way more guts. It ruined me to ride a 1000 vtr sp3, jumping back on the 250 will never be the same

    At the last track day slight was on the new vtr 250 and wasted all the 1000s around the corners, got caught up on on the straights, then wasted them again. awesome.

    That's about it I guess...
    Old post but.... That's SO a Sach's Madass 125 :P

    And my hates. Well from Dunedin to chch it was very comfortable for a sportsbike. But I still haven't found the sweet spot on those Michelin pilots )
    With feet on the pegs at speed theres a nudge/knock coming thru from something on the rear wheel or near it.
