hmm you'll have to show me this road once i get my bike ;)

although i will be happy even reaching 100 with stability on a two fiddy :P

Mates duke 200 limited at 135 I think lol

For learners anyway so no f**ks given they should be learning low speed / traffic stuff anyway :)

Duke 390 would be mad learner bike. 44hp and 150kg wet

Learner sports bikes rip up the corners anyway and that's where half the thrill of riding bikes is. Through tight passages they can be quicker than 600s and superbikes, particularly in the hands of amateurs.

Phillip Island and a couple of other high speed tracks are the only tracks that reward the bigger bikes. Even at PI with a massive straight and sweeping corners, there's only about 3 seconds a lap between a professionally driven 1000 and a 600, then another 4-5 seconds for the 250s.

lol you gotta come out riding with my mate...he rides a neglected Ninja 250R, with a rear tyre that has no tread in it...he hangs off the thing in the corners like he's sitting in a side car and he absolutely kicks my ass.

^COT DAYUM indeed...

Only wheelies I see myself pulling are in Mario Kart...

Think I've got my "first choices" in gear sorted! Gonna go see how they all fit though at Peter Stevens tomorrow! ... Then order online bwahahaha.

edit: just got back from gym, sitting here with me proposed 4-day weekend (self-made). feelsgoodman.jpg

until i have to work and do assignments on the real weekend, anyway :P

You may end up ordering from Peter Stevens of you're buying a lot of stuff and some is on sale. My gear from there was only $100 more expensive all up than online, worth it given you can take it back there for faults and don't have to wait for shipping.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • 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.
