I had 1998 R1, 2000 aprilia rs250 and now I have 2014 gsxr750. So much fun, I hardly ride it though my radial nerve problem in my bicep just kills me when I ride. People think their cars are fast these things are Fkn insane. The 1998 r1 I had was by far the scariest the power on that was crazy. I hired a 03 r1 in Thailand and that was cool, a little faster tbh but the fuel injected models are heaps smoother so feels slower. I really liked the 250 2stroke too I think I was just under 100kg when I owned that one it had about 65hp. I would say if I was 65-70kg that would have been my favourite out of them all if you're a small person they are so much fun. Now they have changed the licences though so you can't ride one of those on a learners. Never really been into cruisers. I do love the sound of a HD with good pipes though. I really like the gsxr 750 it's a good bike.

Yeah bro haha People prob think I'm on a 250. I got a real good deal on the L4 run out model. Paid for the 750 the price of 600 run outs. The 750s tend to hold their value a little better and there aren't as many of them around. I couldn't afford the gsxr1000 otherwise i would have bought one of those. The 1000s have heaps more torque and I like the fact you don't have to really 'ride' them all the time when commuting, they will do over 100kmph in 1st so you can pretty much sit in 2nd all day long if you don't feel like riding a bike. The 600s you really have to ride them to generate power, the older ones especially. The gsxr600 isn't the fastest or the best handling but they are comfortable and the best all round bike in their class. The 750 was better and faster than the r6 and 636 when I ride them so that's why I got it. It's basically a 600 frame with a 750 motor in it. I wouldn't buy a gsxr600 if was getting a 600 I'd probably go for the Yamaha or Kawasaki just my opinion they are all Fkn fast though and are as crazy as the rider wants to be I guess. I'm not the fastest rider, too big and I just don't use it enough. Hopefully this summer. Funny thing is I'd rather squat and bench pain free than ride my bike round then get to the gym and workout in pain due to my arm problems.

That's the good thing about HD Maccas, they got tonnes of torque.

Temporary citizen signing off lol.

I've always been more of a dirt fan so my last motorbike was a YZ250. also had a YZ125 before that and a Hyosung GT250R for the road. I once had a go on my flatmates ZX10 ninja and thoroughly scared myself, which made me realise a powerful road bike would be the end of me haha
