Not really had a proper look round yet. I will have a better look tonight at home. Although what you first said is the initial impression I get.

Stumbled across this site earlier today http://www.r6-forum.com

Think I will be fitting stabilisers to the R6

The best thing to do is register an account with an image host such as http://photobucket.com/ Then when you upload the images they provide links that you can copy and paste with the forum code to display them in your posts.

Thanks for the tip I know I have been reading how expensive they can be if you drop them

As for motoring I dont think I have met a decent copper. In one drunken night out I have met a decent cooper before. I take it that the only reason for any points was the fact you were speeding? did they mention anything about the undertaking? I always wonder about undertaking on a motorway as often in a car I will simply sit in the inside lane at a consisten speed rather than cross three lanes or sit flashing behind the lane hoggers.

Oh it bought. I should have it later this week or early next week Passed the theory today so that that out the way. DAS is now booked. As for the other costs they werent overlooked that was just simply showing what it had cost me up to this point. As for 0-60 and 0-100

Sorry to hear of this. The one thing that concerns me with bikes is that I do not know any one person who has ever owned a bike who has not fallen off. So I guess it will happen. I dread the day of denting my bike and my pride.

Just been looking at some costs of getting into motorcycling and its not cheap. I started in November so since then £2499 Yamaha XT125 Helmet Gloves Jacket Etc £90 CBT £178 Insurance £540 DAS including theory and practical test to be taken in march £3650 Yamaha R6 £298 Insurance £45 Road fund licence £7300 Ouch is a word that springs to mind.

Seen that video about a bit at the minute. That busa is insane

Just put myself a deposit down on a 2002 R6 with 10500 Miles. So cant wait to get my hands on it. Just need to pass the test now

Well that puts pay to that iea. The wonderful seller decided to end the auction early. Thanks for nothing. But if anyone has a blue and white R6 no older than 01 up to £3k waiting

I like that

Thanks for the comments. As for top price what do you think that would be? I was planning to go and look at the bike this weekend even though I would not be able to ride it. Fortunatly one of my drivers was delivering in the Swindon area today and was able to go and look and take it out for a ride for me. The comments were that it is a good clean bike with no other marks than you would expect from the age and mileage. Well maintained etc. Think I am going to go for it that way I will have the incentive to pass

Very impressed with this short clip. I'll show him when i pass my test I dread to think how many bones must get broken in learning stunts like that.

Ok I will see whats happening closer to the time. I am thinking of clocking up some serious mileage over that weekend so you are not really too far. Just have to see a bit closer to the time. Thanks.

From the limited information I have found : Because it is a 4 stroke 125 the standard power is about as much as you are going to get. However i have also read that the exhaust may have a restrictor at the maniflod end. Other than that I cant help as the accounts have only been theory based. I would love to be able to get a bit more from the bike but in traffic around town I dont really find it slow. It only when you get out onto the national limit road the power (lack of) becomes apparent. I would guess that unless you are going off road and need the gearing as is then a larger from / smaller rear sprocket should do the trick. Although I have no ideas on how many more / less teath you would need and what the effect on the engine / top speed would be.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1 Views please. I am happy that it is from a dealer. The security I am not sure on the mileage. Would this be considered normal or high? Not all MOT and most of Service? Would you be concerend by this? Other than the fact it will mean a lower purchase price and a lower sale price pending that I can keep it shiny side up Thanks *EDIT* Just called the dealer going to call back in a couple of days and they will dig all the paperwork out for me. Also if anyone is in the Swindon area and could have a look round and a test ride for me. I am looking at comind down on sunday to have a look round it.

Welcome to the forum

Just how does he manage to regain control and get back on this bike http://www.bikepics.com/movies/000459/

I am from Burton On Trent in the Midlands.

Came across this website so though I would share it. http://www.bytefactory.com/mcycle/index.shtml

If all comes together I will have the full licence and bike before this weekend. As its a nice 4 day break I am thinking of having a good ride out. I am not getting my hopes up as it would be easy to make a stupid mistake on test day and not be able to get a re- test in time for the weekend. However where can I go? What to do? Are there any shows on that weekend or just some good roads and routes the more experienced biker knows. It doesnt have to just be the UK. It could be over the water. (mainland europe) Thanks in advance.

Just seems to be the way of the world. Everyone wants to charge more but nobody likes giving discounts if they can get away with it.

This will be doing the rounds tomorrow. Just hope the works filter doesnt block it.
