... the impression alot of people are not impressed but you have to remember Honda are a very conservative company and never go ott on race reps in road trim. The legendary rc30 was only about 118 bhp in show room trim. Saying that I have had an email direct form Honda with a detailed spec and over ...

Bit of a lazy morning and took the kids to soft play.

Met a few of the neighbours, the house next to us introduced themselves with a bottle of wine and home made shortbread biscuits. The guys over the road said hello with a load of bread fresh from the village bakery.

I'm going to like living here.

one of the things I really like about the Thundersport series is the Aprilia superteens (2 stroke 125's) on a sunday morning the smell of frying bacon and 2 stroke is quite intoxicating

I miss the smell of synthetic two stroke oil, so many good memories

Why not make a proper NSR500 - if I had the money I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat, sadly though the emissions might be a sticking point, afaik they don't give marks for the lovely perfume of said emissions when determining the figures though.....

At least you won't be ordering one from the states! For the rest of the world you can have an optional 212bhp. "an optional “sports kit” that includes a new ECU, different front ram-air ducting, a different exhaust (dumping the catalytic converters and mufflers for full race baffles), quickshif...

A road going MotoGP bike with 159 hp?? My 10 yr old track hack has more than that!!!

Someone in the design/production dept has a screw loose.

... is in excellent condition. Attractive white and blue colour scheme, with full Triumph service history. It is not used in winter, so kept away from road salt, and is generally not used in rain, except for the few times I’ve been caught out in it. Over £1300 of extras which include: Triumph LED indicators, ...

... A good mate from the Refinery days who lives just down the road from me now runs his own distillery http://ironbarkdistillery.com.au and this is one of his bottles. The Chai Vodka he does is sweet too. I was ...

... bike guide book. Or do you run slightly lower. Always have been in my mind that running slightly lower would get better contact patch for 'real road's also better absorption, heat carcass up little quicker? or am I talking out my 4ss Not that I'm commuting like marquez every where (wishful). ...

One of the Marines Road Race team came over on wednesday night , he bought a pretty good 400mm lens with him and a brand new camera the same as mine - for me to use today in the Senior TT . I cannot believe these guys they really are ...

Birmingham Kawasaki. They'll give me a loan bike for the day so it makes sense

If the zx6r was on the road then Mike could have collected the SX but I can't be without both bikes for a few days.

Looks cack not something you would drool over is it
Those bar end mirrors are rubbish,159 Bhp pahhhh

I was at the dyno in the paddock today bog standard fireblade was putting out 177bhp at the rear wheel and its a couple of years old

159hp? What a waste of time that project it. Muppets will buy them of course, but most people wouldn't even notice that. It's a fireblade alternative for over ten times the price!

For that money I'd want 200 plus hp and a race paint job at least.

I'm out

... than Kiwi. Guess that bed is now out of the question... I had a greeny many years ago and it seemed to like lying on its side in the middle of the road too. Mend up. 3 crashes from a suit is good value. Champions sell used hire suits and new Berik gear for under $1k. Think they'll ship if required. ...

At least the H2R looks special. Kwak even went to getting special paint for it.

Honda do have a habit of taking things and making them bland.
