    Thanks for the advice. I have yet to find time and good weather to try out some bikes. I like the Speedtriple looks better than the Street but it may be a bit of a handful. It may be a bit too radical for a girl ?

    I am in Welly for a while, bludging on a fellow KBrs for bed and internet, so will see if I get a test ride or two somewhere.
    Game on.

    Are you delicate and petite, or a hambeast with Russian shotputter shoulders?

    If the latter, try a GSX1400. It'd be pretty cool to be the only girl in the country riding one.

    Not to mention the fact that you can take it to the drags and piss all over every one of the bikes mentioned on this thread so far.

    Out of interest, what time do you run on your 1400 JR, I think a 910R may almost surprise you

    No idea. I was pretty much just talking out my arse.

    I'll post again on Sunday evening after the Dragwars at Meremere, although times on a cold winter track won't be the best possible. Haven't done any drag racing before, so I'll be real happy with anything under 12 seconds.

    Yes, I knew the 910R crew would be out in force in response to that little troll. (The other bikes in the list genuinely don't have a shitshow.)



    What kinda times do stock 910Rs run then?

    Think Wgtn Motorcycles have an XB12S you might try...

    FWIW apparently my bike has done 12.2 at meremere.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Maybe on a fine day with a properly prepped dragstrip, but certainly not at Meremere in winter. If you look at the results, ZX14s and busas are running high 10s and low 11s at the moment.

    I reckon a 910R and a GSX1400 (with modded exhaust) would be an interesting matchup. Best guess, the MV would catch and pass the Suzuki round about halfway.

    Perhaps Dumpty or Finn could liberate their as-yet-unsold ones from the shop floor and come along to test that out on Sunday morning?

    I won't be going if the weather's shit, mind you.

    Oh bike. GSX1400 or summit large and torquey. Ladies look very sexy on huuuuge bikes.

    Quarter mile times? 11.6 on a shagged GPX600 at a wet dragstrip in Fife.

    A ten-year-old heavily-made-up studio photo doesn't speak much as to her ability to ride a GSX1400, so don't give up hope just yet.

    Anyway, like Quasi said, she's probably just Jim or Drew or someone in drag, cookin' up a deep-cover account via anonymous proxy for future trolling goodness.



    It's been a while since we had a 'hooker' posting - anyone remember 'Courtesan'? I've forgotten whose alter ego that was. Here's hoping 'cindymay' ponies up with some opinionated sex-for-sale goodness...
