What 125?

Oh, now that is sheer class.

 

British Supersport 600s last year?

The fact that they chose to abandon the series by increasing engine
capacity speaks volumes about how import *they* consider race pedigree
to be.

 

Unless it's a very short trip, where a large capacity two stroke is
ideal.

 

I bet a Hinckley Triumph wins every single round of the this year's
Thruxton Cup.

 

<G>

 

Very short trips require a Ducatti, so I hear, which is a 4 stroke.

 

I assume you are using the phrase "happy with how the bikes perform as
supplied" with full knowledge of the capabilites of a 125cc 4 stroke
wrapped in a cruiser style frame.

I assume these are no better than a yamaha sr125 or suzuki gn /gz125 or
equivalent, the first bike I owned was a sr185, basically it was
gutless and didnt last very long before expiring.

So while I am trying really hard to appreciate the bike I admit I have
a mental block due to past trauma dealership with what I see as the
same bike but 22 years on.

non refillable disposable cigarette lighters would be the comparison I
would make.

Maybe they have a great dealer and warranty policy with the parts to
back them up but I doubt it.

 

Without manufacturer participation what else would we demand to see
more of on the telly.

More Nascar or motorcycle racing, take your pick.

I know which I would choose and it doesnt involve any cars going around
in a circle for hours on end.

If all the bike makers decided to pull out of racing where the ****
would we be ?

At the least they could throw together something like the hyosung 650
or 250 production class ala the thruxton series and sell off a
stackload of bikes cheap to participants and create something of an
interest.

Plus I think they are expensive in the US, MSRP on the 250 alphasports
is USD $3995.

If they must foist their tat on the populace they could at least price
it appropriately.

 

Ah but you see I am but a cheap import to the left pond myself, I have
two instances of citizenship which both apparently require loyalty to
the current queen and of course the new one or should I just say
Camilla.

People will buy what they perceive to be best for -them-.

I have yet to apply for my noodle vending license so could you mark me
down as 'somewhat undecided' on the Hyosung 125 15hp cruiser.

 

What became of him? Did Mum's boyfriend kill him or did he go and do
something interesting instead?

 

I think so, it has the same sort of character

 

I'd say for long trips they're not too shonky.

Neither.

He sold the VFR400. Gone from pagan to Taoist last time I asked.

I chat to him via MSN most days and he comes to the scary big city once in
a while.

Funnily enough, on Friday he said there are at least 3!

Apparently, he signed up to yet another internet site[1] and there are 3
registered users in Cinderford.

You mean they are both something 'the terminator' would choose to ride
?

 

I used to like my Aprilia RS125 - derestricted it was 33bhp which
coincides nicely with the licence limit, and handled like a dream.

Care to specify a century?

No. Thought not.

Homogenised, just like the other areas within a 1 hour commute of
Bristol, Brum, Cardiff etc.

The loss of the insular character of the Deanfolk is both good and bad.
The bigotry has been diluted by commuting: either by the influx of new
residents or the outflow of existing residents in search of
work/education as the traditional industries diminish. The flipside is
that the sense of community concomitant with many people working in the
same industry has been eroded.
