Which bike?

<pp>

It's not a possessive, and there are no missing letters to mark, so - 'sees'
will do fine.

I've done lots of miles on K series bikes with very few problems...

That's what I thought it ought to be, but it looked much wronger that

R1 like wot u already 'ad. I got un for £5400, a 04 in 'lava red' with 3000
miles on it. Mint it is. And fast - very fast (yeh - I know you already
know that). I Dun 100 miles on it today going to the shop for a pint of
milk (shop is 0.5 miles away).

Bikes eh - gawdda luv em [1]

[1] v1.00 - "got to love them"
[1] v1.01 - "God, I love them"

 

I know that, that's one of the reasons that I bought another K -
they're pretty much bomb proof (jury's still out if they're Timo-proof).

 

Jesus wept. Are you pissed, semi-literate, stupid or all three?

Actually, scrub that. Looking at who you are, definitely the second and
third. Suppose the first relieves the tedium of being.

 

Wot a tossa.

"You dig it the most"

Yes, I know R1s are fast and I know I slagged the FZ for being ugly but
that was before I saw one in black and photographed at an esthetically
pleasing angle.

I might just have to get a ride on one.

 

You should. I did and tbh, it didn't light my fire. I really wanted to
like it because (unlike you) I actually liked the asthetics fromm the off.
The engine feels shite compared to the R1.

 

I don't like the trend of those funny shaped headlights. I think the
Hornet was one of the first to go that way and the rest followed suit.

Yeah, I loved the engine on mine. Accidental 90mph wheelies in third
gear at quarter throttle

 

Bad form and all that stuff but I just want to add...
It was the newest style one I tested with that huge big **** off exhaust
can.

 

Yours must've been fucked. Mine'll loop in top doing 170 @ 1/8th throttle
if I'm ham fisted enough ;-)

 

Yeah, about 3 years ago I had to vacate a hostely type shithole and I'm
still a lorry driver- I've just had a couple of weeks off.

Ah no. That's still very much on the cards, it's the decision making
process that's taking some time but I do have the money to do it.

I ratted the CBR about three years ago as well and I swapped the XT for
the R1 I had.

Nope. I just have "alternative" priorities. I could be living in
palatial surroundings right now but as I choose to spend my money on
other stuff the place could more readily be described as a hovel. I
certainly wouldn't want to have any dinner parties here.

 

This is the one I was thinking of:

I still don't like that headlight but I'd have thought 150bhp wouldn't
be too bad. It weighs less than 200kg, allegedly.

 

It was. It went sideways on the M2 going round a slight meaner as I
3/16th throttled it going past some cars in the wet at 160

Haha! ****.

 

I like it *alot*

150bhp is good but the one I rode just felt really really weak at the
bottom-mid end of the revs. Don't get me wrong, when you're "on it", it
fucking flys. The R1 isn't the torque monster that a Gixxer thou is but it
would still eat the FZ "in that area". I thought nekkids were meant to be
tuned for more grunt at the expense of top end. With the FZ, it seems like
they've taken the R1 engine and restricted it everywhere through the rev
range, making an already *relatively* weak bottom end positively lethargic.

 

Hahaha, funny.
