Bike performance?

I want my bike to go faster than before!
I want my bike to go through corners faster with more mid corner stability!
I also want my bike to stop better!

Is there one thing that will do this?

I 've only got $400 to spend so I am on a budget limit.

Any Suggestions??

Service the brakes. New fluid, o-rings etc.

Give me the $400. I will stand nearby, look envious and make "Gee look
at that bike go!" noises as you ride past.

Go to computer store. Buy Moto GP2 for PC for $70. Spend the rest on beer to
enhance the fantasy.

Offer rusty holland $400 to ride it for you?

Lose weight. Shed 20kgs. If you are already too skinny, then a leg
amputation should work, although it might make some corners a bit more
difficult.

Fit a sidecar, very stable things sidecars.

Else you could spend $300 on rider training and the other $100 on 2nd
hand Performance Bikes stickers, guaranteed to make the bike handle
better!

railway iron is free if you can find it. chain it to the bike, then
when you want to stop, throw it onto the road. This should make sense
to all the bods who reckon that you "lay a bike down" in a crash.

Else you can throw it in front of you so you hit it. Brick walls work
better for this, but are less portable. For real portability and
stopping power, have someone drive alongside you in a car. You can
either have a chain going fro you to the car, so when it stops you do,
or the driver can just turn in front of you when you want to stop, which
will arrest your forward momentum very quickly indeed.

usenet! everyone is faster, corners better, and is a braking demon on
usenet.

You will even do better in traffic, and have great mechanical smarts.

I'd say rider training is the way to go.
Get more out of what you've already got.

 

wow - less than an hour for the right answer

well, the other option is to paint it red i guess.

 

Get a cheap rip-off "Repsol" paint job.

Spend it on a riding course.

Work to ride, Ride to work...

 

Paint it Kwakka green, smoke a joint, it will go sooooooooo fast after that

 

Whose course are you trying to sell here Daron?

Al

 

Go on a diet.

 

Fiddle with the gearing for the speedo. You can wind it off past 250kph in
just 3 seconds! and then stop from 250kph in even less time, let alone
going around corners at 200kph.

 

K, so you knew the answer before you asked it. Therefore it follows, wtf
did you ask it?

Just to see what sort of answers I'd get

I knew the answer to MY question - but alot of other ppl out here didn't !
Thats why I asked it..
