Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

i once took on my mates 250cc honda, killed it and then came his r1! couldn't even see the bastard he was so far ahead

Those "Baby Blades" are rubbish bikes. I still can't believe people spend $7K for them and they already 15 years old when they hit our shores! :P

Spend $9K and get a real 250, like the Aprilia RS250! Or a real Honda like a VFR400 or RVF400. My old RS250 race bike was madness ... capable of 190kph easy around Mallala with 1 more gear to go. I miss it so much, I'm keen to buy another RS soon.

I love the Aprilia RS range!!! That RS125 doesn't look half bad at all. They top out at 165kph, but you're not going to do that on the streets anyway. They handle excellent, and the braking ability is awesome with Brembos, no other 125 or 250s (except the RS) would come close. Red book value has it at $4300 to $5100 depending on kms, and at the advertised price of $4500 its looking good value for money.

Things to look out for are service history, regular oil changes, condition of powervalves, oil pump condition/level, fork condition and the usual worn tyres and body rashing. I'd prefer to see Dunlop GPR70 rubber on it, but they discontinued them a year or so ago, so it might not have them. The replacement for the GPR70 was the GPRa10. These tyres really suit this kind of pocket rocket. Take the cost of new rubber in mind when viewing this bike and negotiating.

If you want someone there to help eyeball it and test ride it for you, I can make myself available ... seriously, not in for a joy ride. I know these bikes pretty well. :D Heck, if you don't buy it, I just might :D Buy my GSXR race bike for $5K so I can buy this thing :D

Last night I was sitting at home contemplating a quiet night on SAU. An hour later im in a stretch hummer with MC Mayhem, DJ Spin Doctor and DJ Demise, on our way to Live (old night train) for some RNB party.

Myself and Chad had a couple of quiet beers, while our friend Miss R33 had, well, quite a few too many :D Was very funny to watch

well you forget you would be board if it wasnt for me winning the cruise :D and i didnt eat that day :D

but you see i love you both xx

      My BMW 335i

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.

      Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.

      I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.

      LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
