My summer ride
Should I sell it?


Why is the picture not attaching?

OK read the rules, must fotobucket.

Some more detail:

2005 20,000 km on clock.
Tops out at about 225- 230 depending on wind.
0-100 +_ 3.7 sec
Claimed 90HP @155Nm torque.

Was recently bumped off in traffic by a Golf TDI.
All cosmetic damage and bike repaired and set up by Danie Maritz Racing.

Superb ride if you do not want 300km/h plus.
I have 2 voices one on each ear, Sell , No do not sell.

Advice?

No bikers here ? No comments?
Wots up?

If you are still enjoying her, then keep her. They are nice bikes, rode one once, but found I was too light for the bike, that motor shaked the hell out of me.

I only change my bikes when I get onto her and the excitement has left.

Hi Crashappy,
Still enjoy riding the beast, but after my bump off, wife is getting very antsy about it.

I haven't found the bike to be a mass of vibration though. There is a gentle rocking when idling but this has been designed into the bike.
Yamaha calles it the KODO (Japanese noun that can mean soul beat, pulsation, or the external expression of latent power) effect.

Once you are moving it is very smooth. I weigh about 105kg so maybe thats why I don't feel excess vibration.

After carefull consideration, I have decided to advise you to sell it at about R100.00 TO ME!!!!
