The Bike Porn Thread...

Standard fair for a race tuned engine!

I was in the market for an Aprilia RS 250/Suzuki RGV 250 way back in '99. I ended up buying a new CBR600, what twisted my arm (bearing in mind I was a 2 stroke guy to the core) the service intervals required a top end strip every 4000 miles. Decoke basically, checking the nickel plated bores for wear, cleaning the powervalves, checking the stupidly thin piston rings hadn't broken, etc.

The RGV engine (which the Aprilia used also) was already in a high state of tune and was seen as preventative maintenance. Although the manufacturers weren't specifying this, it was the dealers.

You literally were riding a hand grenade. But I soo want a VJ22 in my garage :o

Two strokes are just high maintenance. It's a bit like... Sofia Vergara. Awesome to look at, screams like a bitch, extremely high maintenance, but goes like the clappers.

I know you lot like your porn so I'll post these pictures. I'd never want to own a sports bike but I do like the styling.

Ive decided I don’t like KTM styling. The headlight assembly and front end looks like those fake transformers your Nan gets for Christmas :(
 
How the hell have you managed to drag up an eight year old thread to ask that :D

Also, dunno, I'd check with the insurers.

Also also, if you're riding a 125 and commuting with it, go for textiles, leathers are a pain in the ass for daily use.
I did have a laugh reading this thread from the beginning. :cry:
