Quasi's new bike

**Quasievil** · 25th July 2008, 20:13

Okay Finally I have made a call and gone with a KTM525SMR track / race bike.
I know I know, I have been all over the place lately,GSXR750 or a R1 or a Motard I think the deciding factor came to me on Saturday at the VMCC race, I watched alot of the guys n gals racing and I reckon (quite simply) the Motard boys had bigger smiles on their faces ! it looked like a hoot, it was fast but not as fast as the sportsbikes, and I reckon thats a bit of me, so why not try something different for a change eh !!
Hey maybe next year (most likely) it will be something different.

But for now, this is me and Im coming to a track near you...........somehow, dont have a trailer or a van or leathers (would ya believe it) so have to get me some ,for now I just cant wait to get back on the track

WooT!!! Nice bike Quasi!

Quasi DOESN'T have leathers??? lol Guess not too unusual, Panelbeaters always have shit cars & doctors usually die young

Nice bike dude, was having a closer look at the RC8, 990 Adventure and a freakin' 990cc dirt bike, holy hell that thing is monstrous!

**Qkchk:Me** · 25th July 2008, 20:23

So who is in the lead for the most owned bikes? You must be coming a close second to that bike whore DMNTD.

Luckly you're a tall geezer to get your leg over...........

Anyone less than 6 foot + tall need not consider it, it is so huge it's kinda freaky!

**Quasievil** · 25th July 2008, 20:31

I know useless eh, no leathers at all, I had a set but gave them away to someone. No biggy will get some soon.

I rode it up the road before and can confirm this thing is mental, over 200 mtrs I conclude the following, the first gear is tall, and when you hit second it comes up very easily !!

need a trackday now to learn it then a race day to have some fun

**Trudes** · 25th July 2008, 20:38

Wicked!! Good stuff Quasi.

And you're right I reckon, the Motard guys and gals always look like they are having a ball with their balls out! Entertaining to watch too! Hope you enjoy!

**Skunk** · 25th July 2008, 20:57

Cool. Another ~~retard~~ Motard out there!

**Mikkel** · 26th July 2008, 01:41

Nice, that ought to be a weapon!

Out there meaning the track though - fairly localised... Not too much of a menace when you can count on it not sneaking up on you down a dark, public, cul-de-sac...

Agree .... guys on the motards seem to have more fun ... they also get up straight away and get back on their bikes after a fall ... and just keep on riding ... the bikes are just that bit more robust (except the two that wouldn't start on the last round at VicClub - don't know what happened there)!!

**Meekey_Mouse** · 26th July 2008, 07:55

Very nice Quasi!!! Motards are A LOT of fun

I took my brothers 525 out for a spin on a trackday, first time out on a motard, the bike wasn't even set up for the road (let alone track), it still had dual purpose tyres on it which span up and were all over the show... And I LOVED IT!!!! This coming from a normally pretty scared/nervous rider

Good choice and enjoy

You're just gunna have to watch out for me lurking round the track if your keys are in it
