    Im from Newcastle/lake macquarie. It is a very Australian place with very few wogs or asains. On australia day it was like being at the cronulla riots. So there for we dont have many VLs around unlike if you went to sydney or melboure where every filthy wog will have a thrashed out VLT and the only reason they drive them is because of the "dose". The people around here who drive VLs are the people who want to drive VLs the real enthusiasts. There is a few nice daily N/As and VLT's getting around my way.

    VNs popular? Hmmmm maybe VN SS. VR/VS? they are still newish and great for a first car. VTs? You have to be kidding.VTs are still a family car driven for transport not because they are cool.

    I dont know what you mean... the one i rode was a earlier model motor in a race spec side car, stock with a tune and sports exhaust and managed to go from 40km/h to around 150km/h in around 3 seconds without going down any gears.

    so were you at the cronulla riots??? cause i was, and i would not be describing a place "like the cronulla riots", in one sentence you just made your town sound like a shit hole..good one cronulla was a dump that day nothing like how it is every other day of the week.

    you also say "we dont have many VLs around" and in another post there the most popular commodore.... which one is it??

    Cheers mate, just thought I would slip a disclaimer in there

    And to the VLT lovers, I'm yet to be beaten by a VLT on my Gixxer, and yet to find a car that can do 130km/h in first gear....


    on the track of course....

    I meant it as seeing about thousands of aussies gathered on the foreshore, parks and pubs.

    When i said one of the most popular commodores I dont mean it as popular everyones got one. I ment it as "do you know what a VL is" "Yehhhh it was one of the best commodores built".

    Or
    "do you know what a VN is?? Yeh my mates got one it does the sikkest single pegger skids"

    Or (for minux)
    "Do you know what a VT is? Yehhh my mum and dad have one"

    R1's are farking awesome.
    Apparently they redesigned the motor for the 09 model. Longer stroke for more torque!

    man that is so racist. asians or "wogs" cant be australian? if your not full blooded aboriginal you would have decendants from probably a variety of different countries and nationalities. if you were born here you are no more or less australian than the next person born here.


    anyways back on topic, R1's are an awesome piece of machinery, havent riden one yet but ive taken a R6 for a spin and that had plenty enough. would there be much difference between a 600 and a 1000 down a quarter? wouldnt have though so because either one you'd spend most of the track trying to keep the front wheel on the ground.

    not sure about times, but r1s are alot more torquey then the r6, my mate sold his 01 R1 for a 03 R6, and we give him shit saying the R6 is a 2 stroke,
    it just has to be revved more to move,

    i loved his R1 alot more though, had work done.bigger cams and carbies, yoshie exhaust, loved the feeling of just trying to keep the front down

    ahhh ok, before you try and stab me you physco... what i meant was that i thought you were refering to like bush land in terms of national parks.... how was i supposed to know you meant the spur?

    Naturally twisty roads are awesome, the ride to rawson was done by me several times...

    lets all calm down.
