  1. Apparently, the MT-01 has some monsterous Torque on it!
  2. I quite like Rossi's NSR 500 Team Honda Nastro Azzuro Race colours.
  3. I wonder what the performance Spec is like for the MT-01?
  4. Cruisers are not really my cup of tea, I prefer Sport Bikes, but this MT-01 does look pretty cool! 8)
  5. I think they're about to launch the bike as it's on the UK Yam website. 8) The bike looks pretty mean and monsterous!
  6. Do you guys like this new bike? :?

    Which is safer?

    Nice advice Bazz, cheers. I think is all about mentality and how sensible you are on a bike.

    Which is safer?

    Yes, as YamaHead said R6 could get you outta trouble quicker in certain situations.

    Which is safer?

    Which bike would be safer for a new rider to go down the motorway with, doing 65-70mph, a Yamaha R6 or a 125cc sportbike (eg Honda CBR125R, Aprilia RS125 etc)? :?
  10. If he wants you to pay half then that means you are paying half of his Brother's money!! That's not right, tell him to do his maths right! If he wants to pay for his bro, then tell him the fairest way is for you to pay 1/3 and he can pay 2/3!! If he disagrees then feck him!!! 8)

    Bike Parking?

    When I go to town, I see loads of bikes parked and chained up where bicycles park and that SEEMS to be OK!?

    Bike Parking?

    Just wondering, can you park your bike anywhere in town centres? Just as long as it's not in the way or anything? Can I just chain it to a fence or something would that be OK? The traffic warden won't get me right?

    Thnking...

    F**king daft car driver! :twisted: Sorry to hear about your mate. May your friend RIP.
  15. I see! I'll probably get a 1-2 year old bike anyway.........might only go for a new one if the dealers offer free insurance.
  16. I though for bikes, not like cars, you can buy Third Party for brand new bikes? Is this the case?? Say if I got a brand new 04 R6, I would have to buy fully comp and not TPF&T?? :? Surely not??
  17. I think insurance for sports bikes are going to be high where ever you go. If they are not get trashed then they're being nicked! can't win! But £712pa is the best I can find so far. Haven't tried Carol Nash nor YIS but will do closer to the time. I'm also having a hard time trying to decide which is the better bike too out of the R6, CBR600RR and the GSXR600 I like the R6 but the CBR600RR does looks slightly better, but apparently it has a f*cking rock solid seat and comfort would be a big issue on the Honda. R6 is probably the most comfortable out of the 3. GSXR600 is a good bike but I don't like it's big head front and don't really like Suzuki's.
  18. It's just that £700 ish is the cheapest I can find at the moment. And all the big insurance companies like norwich union Zurich etc all quote me stupid price like £1500 for TPF&T!!! :shock:
  19. Hi dai21t, I got a quote with Bennetts and it's no good for me......£1350 for R6 TPF&T!! :shock: I think Insurance 2000 is good enought.......did a requote this morning and R6 for TPF&T = £72.15 per month (£18 a week) thats not bad.
  20. Prefer the real thing mate!
  21. Yes but there's lots of Women there with skimpy tight clothes! Bikes and Babes.....can't beat the combination mate!
  22. Yes, I suppose some people have bike insurances for like over 2 years but they've probably only been actually riding for no more than 2 months literally..........doesn't mean they are safer than someone whos had insurance for 1 year but has been riding every day to work etc. If that's the case, I might just go a do the DAS closer to the time when I'll get my bike, which would be after Christmas.........gives me more time to save more money too.
  23. Oh, sorry XTreme! But the TDM does looks quite nice though! 8)
  24. Thanks for that XTreme, I think with YIS I have to ring them up and will probably do that closer to the time when I get a bike (probably next year). Anyway, I think YIS offer FREE TPF&T for anyone who buys a brand new R6 or FZ6 from any approved Yamaha dealler! Might have to look into that to if they will still be doing that offer next year. Also, I know I'll be buying a bike earliest is next year, so should I do the DAS course soon and then I can say to Insurance companies next year that I've had my license for 1 year. Or shall I do the DAS next year just before I get the bike so the course would be FRESH in my head? 8)
