Finally managed to take the Busa out

I'd love to have a sister who's a bit more considerate when scheduling
her wedding.

 

Sheesh - I dunno why you didn't just buy a lardy tourer.

200 miles?! That seems a lot to me.[1]


[1] This comment especially for ogden.

 

You may jest. What was your total mileage on two wheels last year?

 

I have. Well at least that's what I've told T.

 

Couple of thousand, give or take.

 

Give or take one thousand nine hundred and eighty six?

 

Don't they have those damn 6 pot Tokico's?

 

How do you find the tingly vibes on long runs? IIRC you took it to France
last year.

 

When they first came out that was reported of them. I tried one at North
Harbour in Ayr and that's how it felt. Perhaps they changed over time?

 

The ZX7R went almost unchanged from 1989 to 2003, and (with the
exception of a few stickers) completely unchanged after 1996.

After all, why **** with perfection.

 

Seems to be a mid range vibration thing

So you probably never noticed.

 

Eh? In '89 they were on the ZXR750H1 weren't they? A far cry from an
'03 ZX7R, surely.

 

Ebay item 160409436023 looks Umm Err "interesting"

 

On the road, sure.

Most of what became the ZX7R was already on the track in '89.

 

<sucks teeth>
I've just spunked a bucketload on a new house and I swore no new bike until
I dispose of the spare 4. And that's GSXR K5 money.

Bit far for a look on spec. Do any regular posters live in Crewe?

 

Has darsy's place gone?

 

Surely the restriction came in from 2000 onwards (not sure if that's
2000 or 2001 model year) but I think 2002 model year (K2) would
definitely be capped.

Unless it's got a tre of course, but that's not what the auction
suggests

 

Waiting list? There are always dropouts.

 

The rest of us, though, are clubbing together to buy her a nice bunch of
flowers.

 

C50? CG125 (Makes Sign of Holy Pushrods)? Yamaha YB100 lasted for
decades.

Big bikes, though: hm. Kawasaki GT750 was totally unchanged apart from
cosmetics from 1982 to the mid-1990s when they stuck the Zephyr engine
in it. GT550 lasted about as long.
