ZX-6R or GSXR owners?

Why do you want a bike that's easy to go fast on other than to win "races" on the public roads with people who don't wanna race?

TNATF on rideouts is usually the first one to get hurt...

The only vaguely supersports bike that I actually liked was an EXUP thou streetfighter, stupidly powerful but to use any of the power meant it felt like it was trying to kill you, very light at the front and lots of wobbles. Great fun.

.

I dont race on the public road, if i am with a good mate of mine we know each other well enough to play cat and mouse now and then . But i never play silly begggers with other bikers.

And i want bike that can go so fast because it has the best equipment on it that makes it a dream to ride.

IIRC all the accidents on the ride outs i have been on have been from non SS600's

Aye it was Haslam Senior. Mental. Im not 100% sure the 125 won but it was VERY close. Get an Aprilia RS125 with like 30bhp and MAN you will be FAST! Corner speed... WOW.

A fair point, I still reckon ill-handling bikes are more fun.

lol it might just be the rider that makes the corner speed not the machine

The little 2smoke 125's are a good giggle though, I've got a cagiva planet 125 in the garage of doom at the minute for the missus.

I quite like the feeling of fighting the bike round corners, that's something the SV's good for, tried an SS6 on the same road and I felt like a passenger really. Apart from the buzz of 3 figure speeds, it wasn't particularly rewarding.

Lots of modern bikes are just becoming too good, which is the blades problem now. Its does everything so well it just dull.

not dull just far more capavle that any of us are going to push them.

Nutter lol.

I've been known to say something similar. In as much as I like a good handling bike , there's something about making an evil handling one do you bid....even better....an evil handling one in the wet
