Dark 46

What great racing at the weekend Chris Walker was really going for it with JT. Vermeulen should have had the second race in the bag when his sprocket went. Can`t beleive there are stil so many seat not taken yet for next year.

Congrats at passing your test!!!!!!! There`s no stopping you now. It seems. I passed my test back in June and just couldn`t wait to get a bigger bike. It took me a while to decide what to get but I ended up with a R46. Loving every minute. Sorry to post late but was scanning this morning while I have more time than usual. Didn`t notice til after I posted then read further on how long ago you paseed your test. Will teach me a lesson to read the whole topic before posting.

I finnished work an hour earlier than last week. So I decided to go for a ride on the bike, I ended up in Cardiff. Ok there seems nothing wrong there, but when you consider I was looking at the Castle at midnight? I just fancied going for a ride and the bike sounds great threw the Bryn Glas tunnel. The good thing is that bikes don`t ay to go over the second severn crossing either. What a joy it was hardly any traffic and not many people in the centre of Cardiff, just mostly Taxi`s.

Nothing just the jokers carrying out the service as I phoned 2 other dealers and they quoted between £350 and £420

The seat has been raised to 850mm, not by 850mm LOL The Daytona 675 looks really nice, but if its` true what my local dealer whats for a full service then, I`m never buying one ever. Fowlups what £800 for a full service

Now that IS a hairdressers car!

They`ve raised the seat again!! Not good for us short people!

You couldn`t be further from the truth! I`m 40, short, dark, fat and hairy and it`s my 14th Mini! If it was a convertable it would be a hairdressers car.

Sorry to hear and see! What part of the M4 was this?

Not got the book yet hope to get it for Christmas. I love the car so I don`t care. Beezkneez not my fault you got no taste in cars! Don`t like the new spots there too small.

Ok , he might have only finnished 2nd. But that was enough to get him his 5th straight top flight title! Who will be able to stop him before he leaves? IF he can be beaten. What a great race tho. Ducati and Loris Capirossi are strong at the mo can they make it 3 on the bounce at Qatar?

Looks like they saw you coming!

Thanks guys It`s a blast even running in

Yes it certainly is a limited edition R6, with Rossi colours http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/products/mot...ort/yzf-r46.jsp I`ll be down Fowlups on Saturday morning picking up about 10ish

I went to Silverstone in may is was great! Great to see JT take his first win of the year. Got some great autographs as well from: James Toseland Frankie Chili Chris Walker

Next weekend should be good at Japan. Anyone silly enough to bet against Rossi

Fishponds and you? I pick up my R46 on Saturday.

Sounds to good to be true! I had visions of them pouring it threw the letterbox

Hi everyone, A couple of weeks ago I tested a R6, and had the bike for an hour. I went threw Bristol and up the motorway, on to the ring road and threw the outskirts to get every sort of road avalible. I thouroughly enjoyed the ride. The only niggle I had was that there wasn`t a fuel gauge only a warning light, but thats not a great problem. So today I have been out tyre kicking today. There was something in the back of my mind saying "test something else just to make sure you don`t make a mistake of ordering a bike that is not best suited in the class for me, taking in comfort and usability and everything else." You can`t really buy a bike becuse it`s the first you try as you don`t really kno whats out there. So I`ve been tire ticking. I tested a Daytona 650 and a ZX-6R, noone had a CBR avalible of GSXR-600. The Daytona is a bit lumpy and loud. Still very capable and quick. But it was that little bit to harsh on tick over, and the seat problem of it being too thick. It just mean`t I was streching just a little too much and felt a bit unstable at lights. The ZX-6R I found to be easier to ride, but a few probs like the rubbish mirrors and no storage at all, didn`t help. The bike itself ran beautifully , like all jap bikes really smooth. But the complete lack of vision in the mirrors with no real adjustment, isn`t good if you want to ride quickly. Plus on the motorway I couldn`t see on the behind me or in the outside lane at all. No chance to see a PC in car up your ass! There is a lack of colour choice with the ZX-6R and the dealer was pushing for a order. I must say dealers at both centres were very good and letting me have the bikes for an hour each. The dealer with the Daytona really made me a mouth watering offer with accessories thrown in and a great prcie. But it was that little bit to harsh on tick over and the seat problem. Have really given the nod to the R46. So ordered the bike last week. I have alarmed the bike with a Acumen Cat 1 alarm and put a seat cowl on it. Just reg here as I`ve been looking for a R6 owners club and this is the nearest I could find. Next Saturday I pick up my bike which is a R46 no 952. I just can`t wait. Does anyone else here have one?
