an actual chat about motorbikes

I'd love to ride a ZRX round a track.

 

I'll just chime in here and agree. They really are fantastically good
at touring, as well as being (obviously) great sportsbikes

You say that like it's a bad thing.

 

some people have no imagination, eh?

 

After buying one?

 

What's your point?

 

The competition is over. My decision is made.

 

Habana Custom?

 

My question is would you like to buy a zrx and ride it around a track or are
you simply saying you'd like to ride any zrx around a track for the hell of
it?

 

Whatcha getting then?

 

I was under the impression that Porl wanted a sports bike.

 

Well, I'd have a Zed Thou over a ZRX, but if it were my onlybike (not
outside the bounds of possibility), I'd definitely track day it.

And I'd like to ride somebody else's ZRX round a track.

 

Keeping the blade, then?

 

One with comfort, I read.

The ZX10 has higher pegs than my old R6, and a firm seat.

 

Bring back Champ and La Nina.

 

Then fucking get one and stop pontificating!

 

a) can't afford it right now
b) buying 3 other bikes first.

 

The miracle of cause and effect.

 

ah, but I couldn't afford it right now even if I weren't buying 3
other bikes first.

 

Dunno if you've actually tried a gixxer thou, or how many times you've
been told this, but you really must give one a go. Champ and I (and
others) have both done reasonable (or unreasonable, in his case)
amounts of touring on them and found them well up to the task. I was
astonished to find that I actually find it at as comfortable as the
Triumph for long-distance work, and much more so when you want to give
it a bit of welly.

OK, so it's a lardy old sports-tourer compared with the new Kwaondaha
offerings, but it's not _too_ slow for us old farts ;-)

 

what is this, 2002?
