Did you change your seat?I went on a dirt road sidetrack
Yeah this rings true with motocross bikes too... I feel like both have sort of hit the peak of technology and the limitations of tyres etc...I am obsessed with motorbikes at the moment and can't stop looking at options etc - I really like my ZX6R and have always wanted a Z1000 - I started looking at new bikes again and the current ZX6R has 100KW at 196KG weight - 2007 has 96KW at 184KG so power wise negligible difference - Looked at the Z1000 105KW at 221KG - So in actual fact aside from electronic aids to support the rider there has been no real difference in 15 yrs.
Then to meet Euro standards you end with with bullshit like on my SX where the first 3 gears have restricted KW supply and you don't get full KW until 4th gear but when the revs rise in 4th / 5th / 6th they restrict the throttle position.
It explains why the 05/06/07/08 bikes all seem to hold value a bit better.
I have ridden two of the Super Soco bikes.Yeah this rings true with motocross bikes too... I feel like both have sort of hit the peak of technology and the limitations of tyres etc...
Geo hasn't changed too much In the last 10-13 years. The next step will be making electric motos which perform equal or better to the standard ones, which is only really being held back by battery size and weight.
Now it's just piss farting around with electronics making the bikes ride themselves.
Didn't you sell all your motorbicycles?Stupid rain want to ride tomorrow and its wet - supposed to be wet tomorrow too - stupid!!!!
I got a Grom I hear they are all the rage - Turbo'd it for 12 full HP nowDidn't you sell all your motorbicycles?
You fucking bought a Vespa didn't you?
How many mirrors?I got a Grom I hear they are all the rage - Turbo'd it for 12 full HP now
Put that in a flow chart please.Soooo ZX6R was killing my neck (since the fusion I thought it would come good) - So decided to sell it - Sold the CFMoto 650 as well just for good measure - Started looking for a 2nd hand MT09 etc - Found a nice looking 2017 Suzuki GSX-S750 to have a look at - On the Friday I paid a $100 deposit for them to get bike from Brissy to Sunny Coast for a test ride look - Over the weekend I did the only logical thing and decided to finance instead of cash as since I was looking at spending $11k ish on something you could get a new MT09 from $15k and since the MT09SP was only $17k decided may as well get the better suspension etc - So on the Monday rang the shop and bought an MT10
Keen to hear your thoughts on the MT09 vs MT10, I've been eyeing them off once I get off the P plate licence, since the L plate bikes(current bike) seem to hold their value so well.Soooo ZX6R was killing my neck (since the fusion I thought it would come good) - So decided to sell it - Sold the CFMoto 650 as well just for good measure - Started looking for a 2nd hand MT09 etc - Found a nice looking 2017 Suzuki GSX-S750 to have a look at - On the Friday I paid a $100 deposit for them to get bike from Brissy to Sunny Coast for a test ride look - Over the weekend I did the only logical thing and decided to finance instead of cash as since I was looking at spending $11k ish on something you could get a new MT09 from $15k and since the MT09SP was only $17k decided may as well get the better suspension etc - So on the Monday rang the shop and bought an MT10
Wellllll - So the stock MT09 does not have adjustable suspension (well not fully adjustable at all) So you go the MT-09 SP which gives you the better suspension package but you also pay around $2k extra for that - And to be honest that is the bike I was going to buy - The MT10 was just what was available and since its not my money I am spending I went with that - For the extra money the the MT10 does get fully adjustable suspension and the new MT10 gets up and down QS (mine is only up QS) - After that the electronics package etc is very similar.Keen to hear your thoughts on the MT09 vs MT10, I've been eyeing them off once I get off the P plate licence, since the L plate bikes(current bike) seem to hold their value so well.
