hahahah i bet.
Just spoke to a motorcycle dealer at work, said the motor SP4 which the 1098S run cost over 1000 a service to run because they run a water cooled system. SP4 = race bike not street. If you make the 1098S a daily, then you will be forking out 1k every 2 months!
NOT KEEN!

nah mate, was all in fun (i.e. chain sounded loose/shite, oil leaking again, etc). just what we all do, making fun of all makes and their common problems, but everyone has their own likes/dislikes about any make bike.

Not every motocycle accident involves another car or is the cars fault. The amount of times ive had a biker sitting in my blind spot is unbelieveable. Then again, cars can do the same.....so ghey.

Yea I do realize that but the majority of the accidents caused by the bike rider are the result of the rider deciding to push the limits a little ( not unlike the majority of drivers on this forum. Myself included )

The majority of accidents involving a bike but caused by the car / truck driver are simply inattention / not giving a shit what is going on around them.

All to true. All people that drive on wa roads should get on a bike for just one day. you will have alot of people looking like this after they see the shit that people in cars do..

I have found young drivers and performance cars prob the worst in some cases. Yes you have a car it may be fast but dont even bother going up againest a bike. Even a little 250 will pull away from the best of them off the lights so why try.

Merging and lane changing is the best i seen. You all must see when a bike changes lanes 9/10 a biker will duck his head and look over his shoulder... Its a shame most cars never check blind spots once they have there licence..

Yea Affirmative on the R's But only got them last month.

12 months riding around on the mrs Suzuki LV250 ( harley style ) was shear hell when all the guys from work are on GSXR 1000's, Ducati's and such. Sure can't be good going for a couple of hour ride and being absolutely full throttle the whole time trying to keep up. No full throttle doesn't equate to speeding enough for the POPO to worry about.

Gixxer 750 now thats another story. Really have to try to go slow.
