[Guest Gixxer1]

Wasn't aware that thet SP-2 comes with ohlins and brembos...

[RobVanDam]

oh u guys are talking about the second-hand 916 with ohlins and brembo. Anyway the VTR1000SP2 has original honda shocks and springs and nissin brakes.

[Ah Teck]

at first tot honda so good haha

[RobVanDam]

hondas are good even with their original parts like nissin brakes.

[Ah Teck]

but wouldn't it be better if with onlin

[Guest Gixxer1]

I agree that Honda used to rule the bike scene in the mid-90's

But what have happened to them?

The 929 is disappointing and not to mention the 954,

how many on the road???

Wonder when will Honda gain back their reputation.

honda good at handling but now a days their bike like not popular

[Guest Gixxer1]

Its handling is good because the power is mild...

If given a more powerful engine, will the handling be as good?

[Ah Teck]

get what you mean

but how abt haya

[Guest Gixxer1]

The haya is a powerful bike but the handling is as good!!!

Thats good handling!!!

 

(same for the GSXR1000)hehe

[Guest BoBOKik]

erm.. wah.. suzuki got steering damper added to all their bikes leh.. to honda addin a damper means admitting defeat that their bikes got handling problem.. den again their new 954 is some wat flighty.. hmmm contridicting to their concept.. or jus plain stubborn...

[RobVanDam]

the 954 really has handling problems? i gotta try one to find out myself. BUT none of my friends are buying it. sianz!

[Ah Teck]

[Guest BoBOKik]

[Guest BoBOKik]

'Bike"

[RobVanDam]

yeah i'm waiting for reviews on the new ZX-9R. Not much news from kawasaki lately.

[Ah Teck]

actually the ninja 9 not bad

[Guest Gixxer1]

The ZX636 seems to be a better buy than the New ZX-9

(according to reviews from the Performance bike magazine)

[Guest Gixxer1]

The 954 is actually one of the best handling bike around

Just because of its mild power!

[Ah Teck]

not really according to the two wheel magazine the R1 handling is better than the 954RR

[Guest Gixxer1]

Of course, the R1 handling is better then the 954

[Ah Teck]

then honda also lose out on handling then wat can they win

[Guest Gixxer1]

[Ah Teck]
