this is my other toy, its a bit of fun on the road and dirt, and lean angles are obscene with scraping pegs on a pretty regular basis. sliding the rear into corners is addictive too!

the other fun thing is rounding up $15,000 plus sportsbikes in the tight stuff on a 'dirtbike'

i love my bike, and mods to come are looking like:

Cams
Exhaust
Big Bore
Slipper Clutch

the bike has done 10,500 k's already, and still going strong. big bore kit will probably come after it blows up haha.

i am waiting on front and rear guards to come in, just to neaten it up a bit.

cheers! :beer chug:

Looking good mate, how does it go on the road? Sideways corners action? haha

 

[old mate]

it does quite well, considering its supposed to be a dirt bike. i can slide it into corners no worries, but i just need to get some track time to get it scraping the pegs when i'm sliding. pegs scrape when cornering hard though.

it will pull about 165k's flat out, not bad for standard but with some mods that could rise another 10-15...

0-100 times are around mid 5 sec, but i still haven't managed to launch and keep the front end down...

 

[sweefu]

Yeah i know the problems of keeping a front end down,
i ride an 00kx125 with forged top end, it pulls around 120ish top of 6th gear, pretty scary on dirt haha

i want a motard so bad haha your bike looks sick.

 

[old mate]

its awesome fun, more fun than any learner legal road bike could be, just really light and you can ride over anything!

looking at exhausts, but the thing is, i don't want to be too loud. most aftermarket stuff seems to be around the 96-98db range, and that is really loud...

should i just leave it stock or make a hell of a racket? standard muffler is a bit heavy, so there might be another up-side there!

 

[bloodyricho]

not learner legal and only 2500cc

 

[Skidney]

make a hell of a racket

yeah i probably should make some noise, i use the rev limiter as a horn coz my real horn is too quiet. it could be for safety!
