New Bike: 1991 SRX400

[J.A.W.]

You're changing 'tack', your original comment was what a waste of chasis wih that low power motor,,,, You dont HAVE to tune a 660 to the max, the 700cc raptor version is quite 'rorty'..... and it isnt about the HP, it's TORQUE, and a big inch single has oodles of it. You dont need HP, squillion revs, and 300kph to enjoy a well sorted bike on twisty stuff.... On many of the twisty bits here, my MT-01 was quite capable of keeping 600's in 'sight' and was quite difficult to get past with the 'launch' it has out of corners.... straight line? of course it disappears into their rear view mirrors.

I am not changing 'tack' - it's a waste of a chassis with that horrible lump, full stop..
An MT-03 would be shitted upon - in all practicable road riding - by a 30 year old RZ 350.. which aslo does not need a "squillion revs" either, it uses what has..
( FYI - an RZ 350 would also edge out that bloody gargantuan MT-01 porker - even in a 1/4 mile flog)..

Aah, so you've found each other then. Excellent.

Try some hard 'tack'.. 'stead of poop corn, & yeah, its much crunchier for clowns.. ( "excellent" is always good, though - so fair'n'uff call there)..

That a BIG call HDC.. there are some real fugly seats out there.. & it might make a disgusting thread topic of its own..

Is it like dogs & owners? Ugly dog, ugly owner & ugly seat, ugly butt.. yep, could be..

.. & it might make a disgusting thread topic of its own..

So might one ... on the good points of Australians ...


Disgusting ... but brief.

Two posts should cover it ...

Duh, who aint..
Lots of talented Australians are/were.. Jim Richards, Ed Hillary, Graeme Crosby, Rebecca Gibney, Bruno Lawrence, Neil Finn, John Clarke.. et al..

Well "idiot" - your nonsensical definition of "thumper" obviously includes the CB 125, since it is a "4T single".. & only a "fuck wit" would agree with that.. too funny..

You're an ignorant moron are'nt you. You clearly did'nt bother to look up the correct definition of a Thumper. It clearly states that ALL four stroke single cylinder engines are referred to as Thumpers. And if you want to harp on about a CB 125 it is also included. My original post referred to a 400cc single.
This term originated decades ago way before your time so you know jack shit, so stop digging yourself a deeper hole and go back and play in your sandpit.

You really are like the nasty lump of toxo-parasite infested cat shit in the sandpit aren't you - "Robbo" - you "ignorant moron"..
& if you do seriously imagine that a CB 125 is a 'thumper' - because some stupid/sarcastic wiki-type idiot wrote it down.. you need to find a deeper hole.. dig it..

who cares if an RZ can edge out the 'porker' MT-01? and compared to it? The RZ has high revs, 5.5k vs 10k rpm? I owned RD's, LC's in the 1980's and a H1a triple, yes they are very quick, but peaky, the RZ 'powervalve' allowed a higher state of tune, but still retained some 'bottom end' with the valve {port} closed up a little.
Cant see why you needed to include the MT-03? it is nothing like an SZR, apart from the same motor. We arent talking 1/4 mile drags, ffs, real world riding has no comparison to race type, oh and if the 660 is so shit? Why have yamaha re-issued the SR400? Enjoying a 'brisk' ride isnt alays about HP/speed/ penis bragging rights, and that wee SZR will embarrass a few much larger bikes over twisty bits.

There's an SRX600 on tard me at present. Ugliest seat in the world but.

Agree that seat is fugly as...the perils of buying online.

I also bought a cb400sf that came up this weekend...I am in a strange head space ATM.

PS this battle has turned up some relevant info thanks for keeping on topic even if it's decorated with Trans Tasmania themed expletives.

One problem with the SRX600's is that they are 604cc,and guess which rego category they fall into-Bastards.

Too funny.. since you were previously comparing the porker MT-01 to 15,000+ rpm 600/4s..

& the RZ aint so 'peaky', it simply has a wider useful rpm/power range - the PV system modulates the torque output, check the dyno chart..

As for "nothing like an SZR, apart from the same motor" - hilarious.. that obviously has to make it - quite a bit alike - does it not?

SR 400 has been re-introduced to certain markets - as a retro-style profit-cow.. & dynamically its the same old `70s gutless shit..

My point about the SZR being a waste of a chassis stands.. since compared with the proper mill, the 600 is the big lazy lump,
whereas the 2T will wee on it.. including in the "twisty bits" - if you have any riding skill..
