You know you want to Stu, you'll fit onto one quite easily, and the fun of outbraking on a corner or zipping around the outside of someone you can't beat, much more satisfying than a straight line drag down.

Being on the track on a 125, the most enjoying part so far has been rounding up the bigger bikes on the outside of a corner, and also overtaking bigger bikes in the wet down the back straight of Broady.

Well I dont need a trailor........so I could always sell that off to reduce the cash outflow

and while the VFR is costing me nothing its probably not an ideal track day weapon

I should stop thinking about this and just go back to work, its only going to end badly for me

It's sounding better and better....sell off the trailer, and that should fund well over half the outlay for the RGV. Sell off the VFR, I reckon that would fetch a fair few pennies as parts.

This is soooooo much fun tempting Stu and Tongie! Don;t fight it, you know you want to get a 2-banger!

In all seriousness, 2-strokes aren't the hand-grenades that people envisage...as was mentioned, that lie was due to abuse/neglect from ignorant kiddies. When tuned right, hitting powerband is like an almighty smack on the ass, in a devilishly good way.

I use mine daily and it's quite civilised once you get used to the way of riding it, although the neighbours might be a tad over me starting early in the mornings.

but dont forget, you want a RS or RGV. You definately DONT want a NSR unless its a MC28

Tongie · 10-Jul-09, 3:24 PM

Now ive got a work mate wanting to sell me his RS 250 2001 model.. i was ranting on how it would be fun to ride one again and he's got one.... RS250 or 06 600RR hmmm hard to decide. Ive still got all my CBR6RR race kit just need a bike so this is my problem!! All this talk about 2strokes has stuffed my plans! ARGGGGGG

Canuck: What makes you say the 28?

Tongie: Go the stroker

It's the model with the better suspension compared to the older RS.

LOL because I dont want one of those. Tho trackwise, the 18 or 21 would be the bikes to get

The 28 is the ultimate posers bike, and I have to agree. The 18/21 are the best track bikes.
