Is that FI or with a carb? If carb: put a bigger on there and fly

'07, so no carby

[RevoltTrain]

Don't have a bike ATM. But I'd love to get a Honda Magna at some point. Never even knew of the bike until DoItWithDan talked about it

Rocking a CBR125 here, silly power restrictions in Aus  :angry:  :angry: Can't even get past 100 if going uphill or with a decent headwind 

You can get much larger bikes in Aus with the power restriction

[BOT Edward]

Its an amazing bike, its comfy, its fast enough for most people, its easy to use for learners, fun enough for experienced riders, its cheap to buy, its easy to maintain, its super reliable, it has a lovely gearbox, its easy to ride in slow traffic, it goes crazy if you rev it high, you can do stunts on it too, it can be a great track bike, most people fit from short to tall, its gorgeous (especially the naked)

 

Honestly its just one of those rare close to perfect bikes

 

This is incorrect, you can't do wheelies on them or you will starve them from oil and blow your motor... Would be perfect otherwise

Bugger that, get a nice inline 4 250 (89-94  models have the highest power output) and have some fun!

You cant do long wheelies, like riding down the road for miles, but you can quick lifts, I mean there are hundreds of videos of people using them as stunt bikes...and plenty explaining why short ones are fine

 

Should you? probably not, but that doesnt stop people. its a powerful machine is all I mean

 

sustained wheelies - no

Haha that would bring the live of the V-twin down quite a lot...

Once again, I went on a nice and fast 5 hour ride with the bros.

IF you want power and your on a learners licence, there is always the Honda CR500? Not like it's one of the most powerful dirt bikes ever made or anything....Honda made 234 or something that you can get rego'd for the road and it's learners approved. 

Here's one for sale: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/logan-central/motorcycles/honda-cr500e-cre500/1083987584

This should be able to get you up some hills

[MadManMarsBar]

UPDATE 

 

so i finally figured the suspension out and i sorta know where i want the rear subframe to go (see pics ) 

next job is to weld on the top mount for the shock absorber and then start mounting the subframe 

 

Looks really good so far imo

They day I brought her home

 

As she sits currently a few years later and 22000KM. No upgrades yet, now planning to since parts are more widely available for this model

 

Random photo of me sitting on my best buds custom harley, bike is huge!

I need a bike ASAP, life without 2 wheels sucks especially on summer days!

 

I've got an old trashed postie that was rego'd and I used to take it to the bush (these things are so fun on the trails), but the motor is blown and I need to re-register it.

Was thinking of shoving a lifan 140 in it but it looks like it is gonna cost more than what its worth (max id spend is about 600 to get in  a register-able condition). Might just sell it for parts and put the money towards my partners birthday present

Don't buy a china bike not worth it. Saver up big time and buy a honda or yamaha or wahtever.

oh my, I really so badly want a street triple, (or a speed) like... it makes me cry that I dont have one

 

They day I brought her home!

 

 

Although I am not a fan of faired bikes, I have a massive weak spot for the daytona and have looked at them a few times, its one of the best looking sports bikes on the planet IMO

 

 

I think we can all just agree that Triumph are the best

[MG2R]

Eh, I tend to disagree

[ShadowCaptain]

Eh, I tend to disagree

 

That makes me a sad panda

 

(I also like Ducati, Suzuki, Yamaha and some others its just that I even like some of the triumph cruisers and sports bikes which is weird because thats not my thing at all)
