[Guest BoBOKik]

by the way bobo the 954 vs the R1 vs the ZX9r and the GSXR 1000 is out on the may issue of two wheeler

 

kekekeke.. IMHO... i find two wheeler SUCKS

kekekeke still prefer the review from my regular magazine.. i find their review much better.....

[ZXr400]

yayaya i waiting for the result also....

too bad wat u all toking abt i dont like cos i like kawa bike

specially the ZX12r....Think of changing it...or maybe the ZX9r....

wat do all guyout here think?

[RobVanDam]

it depends on personal preference. for me, i think the zx-12 is pricey and slightly heavier than the bikes we are talking about.

[Ah Teck]

if you love the bike you love it regardless of what pple say

[Guest Gixxer1]

Sure you can handle a 12?

consider twice

[BabyVTEC]

think not many ppl can....happy to ride my 4..

[Ah Teck]

not say can or cannot ... that time to get used even a R1 or GSXR 1000

you need time to get used to the bike and learn how to control it

not say jus whack when first time ride

[Guest Gixxer1]

Most ppl crashed their bike on the first day they got their bike

cos they think they are skillful enough to handle it.

Even if they are that skillful, all bikes behave differently and takes time to adapt to it. Ride safely

[Ah Teck]

agree all bike behave differently even same model

[ok2eon]

totally agreed.... :thumb: :thumb:

[Ah Teck]

no two bike is the same even same models but somehow one will be faster than the others

[Guest Gixxer1]

They are all different

thats why there are many lovers

[RobVanDam]

On the first day when u get your keys to your favourite superbike, go easy on the throttle and don't bend too low during cornering. Just a piece of advice for all.

[Ah Teck]

new wheels have a layer so wax on them therefore little grip

if can use a piece of sandpaper to remove the wax

[Guest Gixxer1]

No harsh braking and cornering for the first 300km of the new tyres

unless you like the 'buang' feeling

[Ah Teck]

who like the buang feeling

[Guest Gixxer1]

Its only a piece of Warning!

hehheh the "buang" feeling is always painful. Especially when u land on your hands and u rub against the road. U can see your skin peeling halfway and the blood oozing out from the lacerations and cuts. Gross! The elbows, knees and hands are always prone to cuts after "buanging".

[Guest Gixxer1]

Thats why everyone keep stressing, ride safely!!!

Just how many times can your skin rub the road.. painful... ouch

[Ah Teck]

even thick skin also cannot tahan

actually, the european bikes are not really suited for Singapore's tropical climate.....

 

Jap bikes still perform the best.... amd easier to maintain....take for example, the valve clearance for:

 

1. Ducati => 5,000km

2. Most Jap Bikes => 25,000km

 

This is just one....what about the expensive spare parts? Just got my screen for my ducati in....wait long long and pay high high..... that's what its all about......

 

No doubt the designs are nice....but in practical terms, not so practical..... but the 916SPS....... NICE...... I still want one though.....

valve clearance is 5000km, not 20000km?
