XR1200 and XR1200x

So get something properly fast and don't stop for the red and blue lights. I'm full of bright ideas. You can thank me later.

Riiight...I'll get the guys from the cemetery, the ones in jail and the ones with wrecked bikes/and or bodies (and with no licence too) to pop 'round and 'thank' you....

Frikkin boys...who would have thought they would give 12 year olds a licence???

The point is for a road bike - why have a machine capable of 300kmh and that operates at optimum efficiency at 160kph and above - when they take your licence off you for 141kmh.

Better to have a road bike that is in the 'pleasure to ride zone' at 100-120kmh.

Hello XR1200.

Hello XR1200.

My bike is slow (won't do 200kph) gutless (65hp at rear wheel) and from time to time scrapes when cornering.

But is smooth handling/riding, stops real well, has no real vices, is cheap on gas (nearly 60mph on a good day) and can carry a heap of gear.

Parts are readily available (when needed) and not too costly, it is 'user friendly' for the home machanic.

So, to use that dreadful cliche: it 'ticks all the boxes' for me.

You put your left arm in.......ooops - wrong ditty.

[Big Dave]

You wring your right wrist in - you wring your right wrist out.
You pull your bike over and get your wallet out.
You give the cop your licence and he shakes it all about.
Dooooo the sportsbike hokey, that's what the fine's about.

Mate as I keep repeating, GUTLESS??? a bloody Z1 was ONLY 84bhp at the CRANK..... a bonneville was 'only' 59bhp..... its only the 'wannabe's' that have 'forced' the race for 200bhp and 300kph+....

All of which are slow by now days standards. Not that it matters.
Went out on my 600 today, by God it's incredibly uncomfortable and needs your attention to ride.
Maybe it needs some seat foam? Sitting on fiberglass in the foetal position is a bit much.
