  perfect, thats all i need to know got a deal just need to decide if i,ll take it , keep you posted 

[stevierst]

Sweet! Good luck with it bud.

[slimwilly]

You won't look back mate, it's a brilliant bike,, just come out and try one.


It is like the gen1 , a very good all rounder, comfy riding position, very useable mid range and if them sports bikes come nosing, them give it the beans,,lol  , way hey ====top end is a monster waiting to be let loose.


I have ridden alongside a few Gen1s lately and they seem pretty much brothers in arms.

I personally am sure I'd be happy with either, but I've kinda "grown in" to gen 1s now. Would like to try a gen 2 though, check  out riding position, handling etc. Any offers?

"NO"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i HAVE SEEN YOUR DODGY LINES TOOOOO

[Hedgetrimmer]

Only from a distance tho'...
My riding style works for me...too fast into the corners, aaaaagh, lock rear brake, slide rear end, panic, wobble round and then smoothly power out as if it was all a breeze

Never had that problem before, but it is a while since I went with a finance company. Got my current bike with a bank loan - work for you?

[boxer1]

Never had that before either, yesterday it was a done deal, will keep at it,  am patient

  The start ofa good day

The problem is AyJay, on a 250 you would just rag it everywhere. A certain 600 rider I know with a 33 bhp limit  has to ride it on the limit to keep up, and boy does he keep up.

What? like this guy





Have to say, that is one of the most inspiring bike vids I've ever seen.


And Boxer - keep the faith. A good one will turn up in your price range eventually!

Similar experience for me but on the road.
A guy on a Suzuki RG250 was in-front of me being slowed by a car. I was thinking this guy is a pussy just overtake him there's been a few opportunities
So I passed therm both 


Then shortly after we all went over a bridge which heads into a glorious 2kms uphill fairly fast climb. Two lanes both sides of the yellows.
So I got  [size=78%]moving through the first two sweepers gently gassing it out as not trying to be a gp hero. Then this little fucker on his 250 flew up the inside.[/size]
I though F THIS  [size=78%] [/size]so opened up the throttle and was on his tail immediately.

I could not better his corner speed and did not speed pass him when opportunity arised so as to hold him up in the next 3 twisties.

At the Old Road Cafe he pulled in, so did I.  I had a brief chat with this young guy and paid him and his bike a compliment.
