WOoOoOohOoOooO!!!! Just picked up my 2007 R6 today!!! loving life but hated life on the ride home from prospect - paralowie its SO HOT!!!!!

well here she is... im so happy :P

Excellent choice! The R1s are too much of a handful on road, but the R6 is very useable in every way. I've always found the R1 and R6 sexy looking bikes.

On another note, I found my old Aprilia RS250 race bike and have the option to buy it back! :D

Its just had a full engine rebuild too.

are you going to buy it back? ^_^

I have a buyer for a ZXR in my garage, but just need to fix a small fault in the clutch basket. When that sells I'll have the money to throw away on getting the Prilly. I have the money there, but I gotta travel to Phillip Island to work in a few weeks = $. So the ZXR sale will def secure it. I def want the RS250 back! Its good to see a bike you built for the track come back in almost the same condition.

Me and a mate previously set that thing up to be a great sub-2 minute 250 around Phillip Island when I first got it 3 years ago. Which is not bad at all for a 250 with stock gearing and it was running with a dodgy rear cylinder at the time (the Aprilia RS250 is a two-stroke v twin 250cc bike for those who didn't know). Its now got a 520 race chain conversion with lower gearing and a few other mods. My pommy mate reckons a 1m50s around Phillip Island is in the bag.

Asked my pommy mate of mine who use to race the RS250 back in the day, if he'd like to go halves for kicks and giggles! :yes:

Bah. Those bikes all look so damn hot. Makes me wish I had one but alas my eyesight is bad enough that I'm restricted from 2 wheels ;P

-D

mmm rs250 is choice, thats a good colour too!

Damn! Spoke to my mate and the RS250 is being offered back to me at a very affordable price. And a well-kown RS mechanic did the engine rebuild :P

The RS250 doesn't look like that now (in the pic above). Last I saw it, it sported a red/white paint scheme with no decals. If/when I get her back, I'll restore her to her former glory. :) It was putting out 60hp. If I get her back, I'll change the expansion chambers and remove the magneto to free up more power and throttle response (hopefully closer to 68hp from a 130kg bike!!!)

I gotta sell shit quick! Someone buy my Stagea!

A quick pic of the RS in action. This is a pic of when I first got the RS250. This is during testing on the track and setting it up for an upcoming race ...

damn that looks tough too! wish they allowed the rs and rgv's with r-date licence... nice bikes.

A mate of mine at 6'1" and 95kg loves his DRZ400SM. Its the most fun wheelie machine there is ;) I'd thought about getting one myself ... but I already have too many bikes ;)

I'm glad L platers can't get RS250s. First time I took my RS out on the track I topped 190 thru turn 4 at Mallala screaming in 4th!!! Fair enough mine was in race trim, but f**k the little thing is quick. They are blindingly quick in corners. Most corners I can go thru at 10-20kph quicker at the apex, but I'm already accelerating thru the turn, so I have a higher acceleration out of the turn than on my old 600 race bike.

well here she is... im so happy :huh:

I heard word that you're not licensed to be riding an R6. :huh:

If you do not have a license to ride the R6 then you should stick to learner approved motorcycles. Most bikers (as well as cops) do not take too kindly to unlicensed/restricted riders on bikes they're not permitted to.

If this is not the case, then happy riding. ;)

ruby wtf?

reads like you're having a go at him.

why? whats the point?

beaut bike BTW - really looks neat.

seriously stop laying down your morals for others to follow. live YOUR life and let others be.

kietz enjoy the new ride dude! go easy stay safe and give it some every weekend.

went down to check out the 2009 drz400sm today... prices went up a fair bit, think ill need to settle for an earlier model. The guy there said he can do me a deal on my bike + some cash for the drz but wasnt able to tell me how much.

hmm gotta start hunting around.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
