If I had lots of spare cash I'd get the 848 in white. Hotness.

You talking about the Ducati 848, little bro to the 1098?? They look like a pretty decent setup from what i've read. Very similar to the 1098..

Here's mine by the way next to a mates GSXR750..

How did the 1098S go? There is one for sale on on bike sales, 3,000kms for $26,000... So tempted to buy it...

the 1098 is nice but no match with my K6 - 1098 claimed hp is about 20hp less than that of the gsxr.

its like comparing a ferrari to a gtr...look great but gtr will hose it in almost every aspect in terms of performance

Yeh, I've read that in a few magazines... a bit of a shame. They are bringing out a 1098R which is mean to have around 180hp if I remember correctly.

well the 1098s is 36k with 160hp - any late model jap bike is 15-20k with 180hp!

the r model will be about 50k with 180hp if its lucky, they are still heavire than the jap bike!

i.e. k6 = 160kg whereas the 1098 id 171kg & ducati is still more than 3 times that of a jap bike

well u cant look at it like that, a duke is a vtwin as u know, theyre torque is much higher than that of ne of our bikes factory, in saying that, rwhp figure is not a comparison, its how fast the bike laps the track or the 0-100 100-200 0- 400m and so on, a duke is a throw around bike where most 4cylinder bikes lean for u... it all comes down to personnal prefferance and how well u can ride the bike, for example, Bayliss = Ducati Stoner = Ducati both worked bikes yes but stock or not they are proven to be much more quicker down the str8 than ne other jap bike. id like to see Rossi on a duke tbh

yes well the ducati is dominating the moto gp for the 1st time ever - good to see something different.

if its got 2 wheels i luv it

I think I'm going to upgrade to a CBR600RR or a R6

Use the Babyblade for the trackdays..

When you realise how slow and crap the CBR250 is compared to the CBR600/R6s etc, I doubt you'll want to use it on the track......

Got on a cbr600rr today $15,000 for a 07 model omg *drools* I want one! The R6's seem funny the cbr is a lot nicer.. Nearly fixed my cbr up to good standards.. Few more time, parts and tlc.

The 600 weighs the same as my 250. more sexy too!

You're just jealous..

650 bah, need at least 1200 to have fun... j/k. I could probably be happy with the right 600 but right now the 1200 is too much fun.

How does everyone feel about the 19th or 20th of Jan for our SAU bike cruise?

That sounds ok pending that my bike is working.. and If I'm still in NSW

Anyone wanna sell me a VTR 1000 Regulator rectifier?

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
