Anyone got one.............post up a pic
I want to get a bike for some reason
Not wanting to spend too much as I probably wont use it much, but would like something like a 400cc/600cc - superbike looking beast
My mate done his direct access and bought a R1 - but I dont think I will be doing this
Found this on BikeTrader, close to me
1994 KAWASAKI ZZR ZX600 E3, 1994,
26800 miles, Silver/Red/purple. Tax & MOT May 2004. Datatagged, Motad s/s pipes w/original silencers, Tinted Screen. Summer use only for the last 5 years.. £1,800

Ive always fancied getting one but never got round to it
Ive been told to steer clear of those Aprila's cos the engines are wank
Want something with some gut's so I can scare myself shitless

I want a 600, I was talking to a guy that used to service them and he told me they are crap - he done a full service, the lad came and picked it up and it went pete tong on the way home(cant mind what he said - piston rings maybe) and he dont toutch them no more
I want a 600 + I can do direct access now

as i said for good value and performane can't beat the gsxr or maybe the updated r6
new cbr will be very special though

Depends what type of bike. I like sports bikes. 600cc wise u've got a fair few, Ducati 748 (twin cylinder so like a 600cc 4 stroke), Suzuki GSXR600, Yam R6, Suzuki , awww forgotten the name, 600cc twin cylinder jobbie.

hehe bengould I recognise that corsa C off of www.apriliaforum.com
Aprilia's are one of the best 2 stroke 125's you can get imo - they handle beautifully, and unrestricted 34 bhp is not bad for a light bike...
of course a nice bigger bike would be good - but if your learning probably best to stick to a unrestricted 125 or something first, otherwise you may end up killing yourself.
Mine's currently in pieces up in the garage - coz I needed to do some work on it, but it looks like this when finished.

undecided on what colour to paint it at the moment though.
