kralster Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Well I got it last night after work. First impressions are it's incredible. It's beatiful to look at up close. The fit and finish is very good for a suzuki. Not quite Yamaha, or Honda quality but they are getting there. The stock exhaust sounds awesome! The best stocky i've ever heard, and it looks horn just like a motogp style exhaust. The engine is still very tight i'm not supposed to go over 6000 revs to begin with. I went up to 7000 last night and wanted to keep going but i need to bed all the parts in before i start going balistic. Damn it's a good bike. So anyone that wants someone to go riding with just let me know. But i'll still be coming to SAU south australian events.

kralster Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Dad also got a new bike yesterday. A new Yamaha FZ1. It's an R1 engine from 2006 in a more upright semi naked bike. The engine is tuned a little differently and has much more mid range than an R1. It's pretty damn nice though, i went for a quick ride last night.

Bl4cK32 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Thanks for the offer, but i love the flickabilitly of the 750 plus it has more than enough power for my skill level. Makes me laugh when people equate cc of a bike to rider level skill. If your a noob on a 250, your a noob on a 1000cc. Rider training is worth its weight in skin....gold...i meant gold Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154525-south-australia-what-has-4-legs-and-ticks/page/2/#findComment-2940558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bl4cK32 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Not having a go at all... I just dont agree with people who seem to think cc of a bike should = skill level. Look at the learners who are too physically big to ride 250cc for a first bike *Looks at Tangles* (what was your first bike there?) A 1000cc bike is no different to a smaller cc bike...except 2 things. Weight and revs... Someone who isnt accustomed to riding (not yourself) would more likely get on a 600cc bike say, and ring the nuts off it thinking it wont be bad, because its only a mid size bike Wish i had a dollar for all the noobs ive heard of getting on a mid size cc bike and doing 160 on the street in the flick of a wrist...yet they wouldnt jump on an R1 say and attempt the same, just cause its a 1000cc....

kralster Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well i have no problem jumping on any bike a ringing the neck off of it. Like i said, the 600's lack torque down low, and i love the how well the 750 turns. Like most magazines have said, it has almost the power of a litre bike and handles as well a 600. So that too me is a perfect bike.

Bl4cK32 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Agreed I was looking at purchasing a gixxer 750 myself about 5 years ago (just before i bought my skyline). Its tuff titties if u want a second hand 750 as they are that popular, u wont find many Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154525-south-australia-what-has-4-legs-and-ticks/page/2/#findComment-2940860 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kralster Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Zx-14 is good for one thing... country miles. The new ZX-6R just came in and looks great. I might have a test ride on it this weekend. Bl4cK32 in regards to your earlier comment having a smaller bike i beleive does boost your confidents. On the 600's i've cracked the throatle coming out of corners and it's just powered out. Where as when i tried the same thing on a zx-10r on the same corner, it started to do a massive drift. And that affects ones confidence. It meant when riding i was more timid about opening the throttle right up. This was about 3 years ago though.

Yer i agree with learning on smaller cc bikes, no arguments. Its always good to progress to larger bikes. In fact SA should follow the other states with 250cc restrictions (2stroke racers - which i learnt on (and still own ) then have another licence for say 600cc then above... All should come with proper rider training, not the "sit on the bike with it turned off, and let someone push u across the range" that they do currently...
