    geez mate $20 wouldnt even buy a carton

    St andrews near campbelltown is the capital of single mothers and
    unemployment
    and on the way out of sydney to canberra

    On that basis alone i would be looking elsewhere , also try to avoid
    punchbowl,bankstown,auburn
    and quite a few others ;)

    What is it, and what do you want to know?

    I have never ridden a modern big inline 4 sportbike so can't tell you
    if it's "down on power", although I can tell if it jumps out of gear or
    blows smoke when cold. I likely wouldn't know if it was handling as
    it should, but could probably tell if the steering head bearings were
    knackered and if it was pulling to one side.

  4. What bike? I'll do it for you if it's something that I know anything about.
    (I've never ridden the latest ABC1000ArrArrArr, so I won't really be of much
    use with those.)

    Well.. the closest I've got is either an RC30 - which is 4 cyl, not
    inline, not really "modern" but definitely a sportbike, or the St4 which
    is not 4cyl, not inline, definitely "modern" but is it a sportbike?

    You phrase that as a question, as though I know something deeper about your
    past...

    TB... He is a bloody top bloke - if you ever need any advice about
    bikes - he is the fellow to see. Tends to favour the v-twins (at an
    odd angle) - but we don't hold that against him
