Moderator Cynic Posted September 15, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 15, 2019 Pulled the trigger on a vmax this evening. Practically stole the damn thing. She is lightly modded to exactly how I would tweak a max. Motorcycle bucket list complete. So if anybody wants a tdr...... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slice Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Bloody hell mate, I can hardly keep up with the tdr I have no chance now! Well done fella about time you arrived in the 20th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted September 16, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2019 Well. not quite its a 96 lol. Need to put pics up. It's de chromed apart from the tailpipes with flat black bodywork. Done nice and looks meaner than telling the wife her sister is a better shag. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 You"l never sell the TDR,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted September 16, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2019 I let it be known to the tdr forum and within 24 hrs there is a list of people wanting to see it. Hand on heart. Wales actually sealed the deal. It was bloody hard work keeping it on the boil. My ankle and knee were killing me by the time I got home. Also I have always said. Leaving a bike to die a slow death as an investment is not me. I had it, enjoyed it and now it's time to change and let somebody else loose with it. Like your 750 John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bippo Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Looking forward to seeing the pics - de-chromed sounds like a good choice to me!Absolutely gutted about the TDR though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose your right to let it go, but what about those days where you just want a blast on C and B roads? The FZ lacks what the TDM has but bloody hell its ace on the twisties and I come back buzzing from the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted September 17, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted September 17, 2019 Lol. You think there isn't a buzz. Ever ridden one. They should be illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilninggas Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Wales has that affect on people. From one iconic motorcycle to another. The vmax is a pussycat though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted September 30, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2019 Yep pics coming when I remember how.... Mot'd her Saturday. Now christened Trigger as from what we can figure the only parts of the original bike are the loom and frame. Oh. I have ridden some quick stuff in my time, a 1260 bandit, an 08 blade, couple of gsxr 750's. It's not the same. Sweets mercy this thing (considering it's from 1985, mines a 98). Just re writes the word fast. It really is ridiculous. The way it accelerates takes your breath away. I'm in love. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted October 1, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted October 1, 2019 It's different. It's the torque. Makes anything seem peaky. Any time, any gear, any rpm yank it's chain and it's off. It's not subtle like an in line 4 either. It's old school angry gsxr type shove. You got to respect it. Coming from peaky 600's and 10 years of 2 stroke quite honestly it's hard to get your head round. I feel like I'm 16years old again when I start it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted February 26, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2020 Cheers Pat, have already started messing with it. 17inch superlight wheels, 120 front 180 rear, 4into 1 on the way (worth 10hp on a stock bike, with what I lose to the slash cuts my gain is nearer 20). Might even fit some usd forks I got my hands on. You just cant help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
