SO SAUCY would be awesome

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Why do you mention SO SAUCY Nick?

foreigneRS

that's what comes to mind when i think of you Chip

Chip

iTrader: (3)

understandable i guess.

I thought perhaps it was someway inspired by that plate that you were implying said nothing

foreigneRS

it would say that if the 5 was an S and the 4 was an A, but they're not are they?

Luca

iTrader: (2)

I found that very easy to read, thus disproving your own little rant.

You seem to be turning into a right grumpy old cunt since you retired

foreigneRS

that's because it's not the correct font

as far as these things go, that is quite good. better than the CO551 i had on my cossie in germany anyway

foreigneRS

it wasn't a rant. you should hear me when i really get going

there's that thing that went around where hardly anything in a paragraph was spelt correctly, but you could still read and understand it. the human brain is awesome

Suzuki are bringing out an injected 450 DRZ sm at the start of 2009. Should be a bit better than the carbed 400.

TimGR

I was thinking about getting one - what about reliability? - I do around 15,000 miles a year.
My current bike is getting close to 80,000 miles so I need to change it.

Cheers

Used to race MOTO X on the 450 Honda's last one i had was a 2005, awsome fun but got too dangerous in the end, never had a go on a super moto one but taking the moto x bike on the road was awsome fun, the low gearing is awsome for hill will beat most things of a steep hill.

i have a 2005 ktm 250 exc two stroke, its a factory road legal enduro/motocross bike. i passed my test last month and it costs me Ł250 a year fully comp.
its right laugh, wheelies for fun. i love it. just looks like a motox bike with a little plate on the back . the gearing is slightly longer than the motocross version, thats it !.
it turns lots of heads lol

The best Super Motard is the Aprillia SXV 550 - a v-twin, weighs 128kg, revs to 12500rpm, makes 70bhp as standard and sounds like a 2-stroke on the over-run . Only problem is that it costs almost Ł7k, but is basically a ready to race bike .

Sexual!:

foreigneRS

depends what you mean by best mike, that's too hardcore for everyday usage. the new aprilia dorsoduro looks good though as a useable supermoto

Mike Rainbird

It's 60kg heavier (that's the weight of a small person!) - NO THANKS!

foreigneRS

yes, but it's also road legal for day and night, has a bigger tank, more comfortable when out all day, can go longer without needing a rebuild etc, etc.

if you just want a toy for an hours blast, then yours would be ace. but it's not something that you would want to ride to work everyday or go further

Mike Rainbird

iTrader: (3)

The SXV has lights .

I don't think it is that highly stressed that it requires constant rebuilds - in fact I haven't heard of any reliability issues?

However, I get you point about range, as it has a tiny tank and is limited to about 60 miles if used properly (takes me back to my 21bhp TS125X days) .

I personally wouldn't want to use a bike in any other way given the amount of numpty car drivers on the road - quiet sunny evenings after everyone is tucked up in front of the TV is where it is at .

The fact that the gearing limits it to 110mph though, also limits it's use.

those alpilia's are nice they sound pukka with a loud pipe and i love the way it comes from the back of under the seat

a nice set of alpinestar boots and jacket and you will look the part too

whats a 2002 Honda crf 450 worth then?

or something along those lines?

Lo@der

iTrader: (8)

This one has just been sold for 2k. 52 plate.

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

2k would give some good cheap fun!!

any idea on insurance yet like you asked previously?

Lo@der

iTrader: (8)

Think someone said 250-ish, I don't think my mate paid much more than that he's 26, 2yrs ncb, 8yrs bike licence.

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

come to think of it i should be cheap.

28, 5yrs ncb, Ł3000 gixxer 750 Y, insured last week for Ł109 tpft!

Lo@der

iTrader: (8)

cant see it being much more than the gixxer then really. have a quote.

foreigneRS

has anything been done to the suspension on the crf to make it more suitable for road riding, or is it just a wheel change?

joel_winders

im currently converting my TM 250 for the road ! supermoto wheels oversized brakes the lot, the only problem is its 2 stroke and will go through pistons faster than george best went through wiskey

joel_winders

depends on the spec of the suspension, ive got a full ohlins set up which is awsome off road and fine for the road, but you could get away with adjusting the existing suspension

B16JUS

just found this pic of me mates old ktm which i think was far better than my husky

jacko
