    Oh no, we're different. My nice reliable Japanese Honda VFR is stuck in the garage waiting for an enormous sum of money to fix it

    Shouldn't be laughing as it's actually quite depressing...

    I thought my comment was inane enough to be recognised as a pisstake?


    A Hyosung GT650R was the first big bike I rode. Not quite as fun as the 636 I rode straight afterward, but it had a Cycleworks pipe that sounded absolutely beautiful. Crackled whenever you let go of the gas, like a rally car

    Well, if we're just going to argue by stating bald assertions as fact, I thought I was on pretty safe ground.

    Arseholes with their queer agendas. The stuff is simply no good if you give a rat's arse about your vehicle and soon we'll all have no choice but to pour the crap into our tanks in varying concentrations.

    not really... having had a fuel card with them... ummm I don't any more... Their policies are shit. A short while ago, they were fantastic at leading the market in pricing, and they are often the first to raise prices.

    So, I own a kwaka, shortly something else. Gull has ethanol, Mobil is trialling... Shortly it will be Shell and Caltex only... blimey

    What happens when I can't get fuel without ethanol, and it fucks the bike? Who pays?

    Good question really.

    Ethanol gets most of the older cars off the road, which the government love the idea of they don't give a rats about vintage cars, bike, or machinery at all.

    As to environmentally friendly its a deadly poison, and apparently more eco-toxic that petrol, how the hell is that "green".
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    Funny thing, the NZ and OZ lists of vehicles dont match.

    One says No No No to suzukis, the other says Yes Yes Yes.

    What parts would need to be changed to make a vehicle able to take a ethanol mix safely?

    I would hardly call a 2004 zx10 old especially when you look at the cars that are on the road.

    Plus, KTM and Aprilia, right up until this year is not even listed... so theoretically, its possible that 2008 motorbikes are not compatible.

    I love the forethought of this government. If I treated my clients like that, we wouldn't have any

    Crikey someones giving hyosung/riders a bad name, i had one given to me just the other day by a hyo rider !

    So far i've read here that it affects the rubbers and plastics in injector systems as well as causing corrosion in the injectors and the tank and less miles per tank full ! For the same cost, or has the price of said feul come down ?
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !
