Ah, across from the swimming baths near where the video rental place was, aye?

I might come. Depends on how I feel and on the weather. Where's the Harvester anyway?

Yeah, it's the same sort of "logic" in the legal system that gives that mentally disabled guy who tried to bomb the Giraffe Restaurant 18 years in jail (remember he did have a mental age of 10 years old) and an Al-Kida terrorist leader £2,500 and a slap on the wrist!

Anyone here have/had a KLX 650 with supermotos? I used to have one and I'd love to see pics of another one, just to reminisce, you understand. Also, if anyone does have one then what's your opinion of it? For me it looked great, handled great, had great performance on regular roads but fell short on...

Oh noo, that's not the colour I wanted at all. Thing is I want to get my bike resprayed in the metallic black I've seen some of their cruisers painted in, like the Rocket III for example. It's the paint with all the metallic flecks in it, much like Kawasaki's Diablo Black. I was told by Bridge that ...

Haven't they got any real crimes to deal with? Get mugged or something and there's not a cop around for miles. Now, go out with a small plate on your bike and they're all over you like flies round a cow's arse! :x Mine's small-ish, but not so small that it looks stupid on my type of bike. Maybe that...

Which is best in terms of aerodynamics, weight, rev and grunt.

So despite the ZZR having the CCs on the Gixxer they'd still give each other a run for their money on the motorway ( ) and the race track?

Do i take it that you are in the market for a new bike and are trying to decide which to buy? both bikes have massive performance so i dont think the question for you should be which one do you prefer because you will probably never ride either to its full potential (you will prob tell me different...

Thanks all.

Er, I think you all miss the meaning of my question. I wasn’t meaning the aesthetics of the bike, because I know that we all have different tastes. Nor was I meaning the performance of heavily customised versions of either bike. No, what I was meaning was the performance of the raw factory bikes, wi...

Hmm, mysterious...bike, location, years ridden. No more "mysterious" than anyone else it seems. What more is there?

All preferences aside and from a neutral viewpoint, what has the best performance (top speed, power to weight ratio handling), the ZZR-1400 or the GSX-1300 Hayabusa?

Hi, thanks for all your welcomes.
