Motorbikes

Well it is now exactly 3 months to the day until I can get my full license and ride a real bike.

And I just realised that the model I want is only available in Europe. (see Yes / No thread)

So now that I have to find something else, I think this looks pretty sweet: (2008 CBR600RR)

What does everyone else say?

looks the goods,

i was going to get my licence buuuuut at the moment i cant justify the expense…

if/when i get my full licence i will be rocking a r6

R6 is a mad bike. But it is more for racing than riding… and I’m not one to take a bike to the track.

If you are planning to get a license in future, do the L’s course now. It’s $80 and its good fun getting on a bike for the first time. Then once you do decide to ride, you can go straight to your P’s once feel you are ready

oh i can ride, just never done it…legally with a licence before haha

cousins had a farm and we would ride all day on dirt bikes. took his dads triumph on the roads a few times. that thing was a beaast

I love the Yamaha R6 and R1. Such sick bikes! Unfortunately I’ve never had the pleasure of riding one.

I have ridden a R15 and sat on an R1 but never ridden it. The R15 I got it to a top speed of 105 on the M5 and it stayed at 105 and didn’t get any faster lol.

My Kawasaki ZZR-250 can hold 130 comfortably but I tend to stay at my legal speed of 90 as I don’t feel like paying fines and losing the license…

my mates gf’s dad has a duke…i cant recall maybe a 995? or something. its a beast, him and his mates do a ride from ulladulla to phillip island every year for the race.

hopefully going to tag along from here to the island with them,

Ducati 996 is a beast!

Only prob is the Ducatis need to be serviced so often!

I wouldn’t ride down unless you had a full license and at least a 500cc bike… My 250 just can’t keep up with 600’s… trying to keep up with a Duke 996 would be impossible.

yeh, sounds like a fully worked v8! its insane.

the services arent cheap so he does them himself i believe…

I would be way to scared to ride a bike on the roads… but a quad out bush? HELLS YES!!!

My sister and ex husband are into motorbikes. My sister loved trail bike riding and her ex hubby had rebuilt a couple of bikes for track days too. Can’t remember what they were but they were absolute weapons.
My wife isn’t too keen on me getting a motorbike. Must say I can understand why, when I took a postie out in Thailand. Went quad biking a few years ago in England, that was fun. The ground was soaking wet and muddy, was getting side ways so often.

For shits and giggles.
