4. A soft sportsbike powered by a 900-1000cc version of the ER-6 engine. A TRX850/VTR1000F for the new millennium, of sorts.

Ahh for the good old days of screaming around from point A to point B leaving a blue smokescreen of pre-mix in your wake. Not only was it a joy to be out on the road it was also time to celebrate every occasion that you actually arrived somewhere (hand grenades do have a tendency to go off )
finally, FINALLY there is someone out there who knows what a good motorbike is all about !!!
Lol but not a bad idea,ever since I saw those Jap Zeds in that other thread I've been checking out possible donor bikes.Gosling1 wrote:You mean something like this ??.............zzzak wrote:........these days it would be worth fanging on the dirt with a light 750 ........
While enjoying my two stroke days while they lasted, and even taking to one to make it a bit quick (TZR-Chambers-Carby's-Ignition-Barrells-Pistons-Porting-Head and some other goodies making it a 200KPH + 250) I still fondly remember getting back to a four stroke and not wishing to go anywhere near a dirty smelly two stroke anymore!Gosling1 wrote:duncanZX10R wrote:we are all forgetting one essential design element.......

Well Done Duncan. You get my vote mate !
It's a bit like shagging a 17 year old. Sure it's pretty exciting, and the ride is usually pretty wild, fast and furious, but it usually doesn't last too long! Plus it does your head in to own one long term! I think i may have looked at that one too.. and you know what happened next..Strika wrote:I had another look over a blue 14 at RR the other day. It's looks have grown on me considerably. I reckon it looks wicked. I think I may even want one!!!!

Mate its not the reving but the front wheel in the air while cornering and sliding the back wheel that i am worried about.Strika wrote:I promise not to rev it too hard...honest!Blue14 wrote:Mate read my little report about the 14.. and as for riding it..Strika wrote:Thanks mate...Hows the new 14, and when can I ride it?
And yes i have a pic so it did happen.. It was a big bump and I had too much rebound on the forks...honest!Blue14 wrote:Mate its not the reving but the front wheel in the air while cornering and sliding the back wheel that i am worried about.Strika wrote:I promise not to rev it too hard...honest!Blue14 wrote:Mate read my little report about the 14.. and as for riding it..

No way will I be turning up on one Gos! The only way that would happen would be if it were a blue one!Gosling1 wrote:Strika wrote:.....I promise not to rev it too hard...honest!
bahahaha yeh BULLSHIT !! Blue FFS don't let him near it, once he has tasted the *insane* power of a 14, it will only be a month and you-know-who will be turning up to all KSRC rides on a black one !!!!
you won't believe how good they are........footpegs a *bit* low 
, but rearsets can fix that.......
