Fazer 600. (?) Nice. It was something I considered when going for the Bandit.

Yamaha FZ6 2005. Thought about the SV650s but as a female, the fit of the bike doesn't quite go with our form.

is that your real rvf750 and not the pic u stole off a site in japan and claimed it was yours in this thread?

As Saobh already said, that thread was a wind up started by someone else who was trolling about bikes. Myself and some others decided to have a little fun.

Anyone who know's anything about bikes knows that an 11 year old '45 isn't upto modern day bike performance these days. So I didn't expect any bike heads to take it seriously only for what it was mean't, some fun to wind up a troll.

Interesting that even the moped owners had some insightful and helpful contributions to performance related motorcycle questions in that thread before the self-professed 'wind up merchants' from your site had it locked. How mature and very clever indeed, well done for an ingeniously coordinated bombardment, however, can you please keep this scintillating witticism within the confines of your own site in future. thanks.

It was nothing to do with my site. Most of the respondees were no aqquaintance to me at all and iirc correctly you were the one that started the trolls.

Since you have f'all authority to tell me (and others) what we can and can't do I suggest you STFU !

Thanks GLine - She was my P & J -- used to keep her in the kitchen.. fully polished the frame, wheels, swingarm, barends .. pretty much anything that could be polished got the treatment over the winter months!!
Had a 600 RR for a year after this but somehow really liked that FS model.. comfy yet sporty ..etc.

CBR 250 (all models) - Group 5 insurance (Irish) -- Possibly Group 10 with Carole Nash though

cheers
Russ

p.s Gline - still ok for 7 tonight? PM if any probs

well, just because 'they don't them like that anymore'....I'll show a bike I've had for oh, about, 15 years now...........just turned 10k miles......ported/lapped heads/barrels (no head gasket), DEP cans, otherwise bog standard. Absolute frickin' alcoholic on juice though.....but the noise, oh the noise...!!

I've a few others, but this is a bit special...........

“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Do you work in town and live southside - templogue/knocklyon?
If so, I've seen you driving it around. Thought it was a classic machine lovingly rebuilt from scratch (hence the '05 plate). Engine sounds great though.

She ain't pretty no more, but i'm just happy to have it back on the road, 3 weeks of walking/buses and car driving had me stressed out.
