Enjoy it Steve & ride safe. Cheer's dude. if I'm honest it's more of a 600cc sport bike lite. it's only 87bhp most proper 600 super sports are 100-120bhp, but it's enough to scare me anything 7000 rpm plus Edited July 5, 2016 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the 0-60 on that then? My guess is sub 5 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is sub 5 seconds. if you can get it off the line its about 3-4 seconds is capable of a 12 second flat 1/4 mile Edited July 5, 2016 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 87bhp?! I didnt think they made bikes with less than 100bhp these days! Still all good fun and glad to see another biker on here. Ive a Ducati 996, an R1 and a ZXR750L2 in my collection atm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive a Ducati 996, an R1 and a ZXR750L2 in my collection atm. all to do with the new licensing system blame Brussels the A2 license (under 24 years old) only allows you to ride a bike upto 47bhp but you can use a restricted bike as long as the original BHP isnt double 47bhp originally so all the manufactures are making bikes in that limit which serve both the A2 and A licenses. but i guess you know that Edited July 6, 2016 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Just remember, everyone wants to kill you, its the soundest advice i ever got when i first cast a leg over a bike. Enjoy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Just remember, everyone wants to kill you, its the soundest advice i ever got when i first cast a leg over a bike. Enjoy Yup agreed! motorways still scare me a bit and i nearly got hit by a golf on a roundabout yesterday nearly pulled out into me i guess his knowledge is bikes hoon it off roundabouts so when i was casually riding past he went to pull out and almost clipped my rear wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 if you can get it off the line its about 3-4 seconds is capable of a 12 second flat 1/4 mile See I knew it, ...that's just mental how quick even the "slow" bikes are. Have fun and another bit of advice, from my Uncle who rides bikes who told me this years ago: Watch out for man hole covers & those metal strips in the road (like on the Severn Bridge crossing) as they are lethal in the wet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I passed you could jump straight onto a 1000cc bike if you wanted! (not that you could afford one mind, as bikes were well expensive back then). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its roads where there is any opportunity to get t-boned that scare me more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I felt much safer on my bike bizarrely, i think it was because i was hyper sensitive to other road users as you know if they do something stupid, its going to hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
