Which Bike Best For Me

Hornet over the VTR for two up ? Is that for the rider or the
passenger's benefit ?

The VTR is easier to ride with the extra load (well in all fairness I'm
comparing a VTR to a CBR600 F2 but it's the same motor), more torque,
less revs required (ie don't bother changing gear), not that the Hornet
should be terribly bothered but the VTR didnt seem to care or notice. In
terms of passengers comfort, well, I avoid being a pillion like the
plague but the VTR *LOOKS* comfier, and it'd have to be roomier.

<shrug> GPX250's do fine 2 up as well, as long as neither of you are too
big.

Errr both.

F3 motor actually. FII, Black.

As both are outside, I'd opt for the Hornet myself, as a pillion and with a
pillion.

They do? That¹s nice. VTR250s do well also, but the discussion is about a
bigger, more powerful bike for two up travelling.

Then again, who cares, its not my choice.

I have suspected certain ..... tendencies in that direction, but ...
hopefully not.
Although she does handle a large weapon with dexterity.

I haven't heard it called that before!!

What..."dexterity" or "large weapon?"
James

You'd look bloody stupid on a VTR if your Hawaiian shirt didn't match your
sandshoes.....

Great pic.....
James

 

Yeah....nice but no room for "her" hehheh
Out of the box they only do 100hp but up to 150hp
with some tweaking huh? V4 fuel injected are they?
James

 

Well yeah, but it was a flippant aside meaning, "you can two up on
pretty near anything you can both fit your bums on as long as you
recognise the shortcomings of some options"

fer instance 2 up on a postie would get uncomfortable fast that luggage
rack isn't real padded, and you wouldn't get anywhere fast either

JL

 

Ahhh kewl. I never did see how that pic turned out (until now). Shame about the blurring. Bloody
digital cameras that take a while to think about taking the shot after the button has been pushed.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!

Heh heh; you're off the hook Dale.
You caught it fair-square dead-centre in the view-finder. It's hardly your
fault that Phillip Island has ****-all light at 5pm at GP time.........
(and my cheapo digcam wasn't really up to the task either....)
Clem

 

No....far far worse

he *DROPPED* my bike!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha, putting on a bit of weight there Cat ... take those platforms
off at measure again!

-----sharks (PS: You misseplt "Nuffie" ...)

 

HE "D R O P P E D" your bike Cat? No o o surely not that.
Hey babe, (whispers in Cat's ear) why don't you ask him
for a ride on HIS bike. Don't drop it though. On the road
too, not just up and down the drive. stir stir....

It might be very useful.
But now it is gone

I'd say the "on loan vtr" bit in her sig gives the game away on that
adequately - $10 she's already taken it for a run (and hey Cat unlimited
baby sitting - no restrictions on going for a ride !

 

Sorry John. You lose that bet. She hasn't had the time to take the VTR for a spin yet.

 

Damn ! My shout at the GP I guess

JL
(Bet another $10 she rides it 20Km before you do !)

 

Can she touch the ground on the VTR??

I know when maggs sat on mine she could barely reach the ground - and
only on one side....
