I've heard it was, but don't know 100%

Yep, I live on the other side of Melbourne. It would probably take me 60 min to get to the other guys' places

Or if you want to think of it another way, thats an extra 60mins of time on the bike....you really don't know what you've got until you've lost it.

That's the advantage of living in close to the city (Inner East), no massive ride to get somewhere just a nice ride in either direction. Zop are you east or west?

I'm really enjoying this....

Zop certainly is a lot of women

Selling the bike cause of study commitments, in 12 months or so I'll look at a Triumph Daytona centenial edition, which you can still get new. Hmmmm Triple

Can't make the twilight ride cause I'm working

Matt I hope you many safe and happy days on the 1000 blade but I do think your naive to think that 2 years out of riding last getting of a 250 is not a big leap, your in for a shock 40 hp to what, claiming 180!!! p lease

I've repeatedly acknowledged the fact that its a big jump, I will be taking every precaution and that I will taking it easy for quite some time. How is that naive?

But Will, putting it like that, I'm looking forward to it even more now!

Looks like the webserver is on is down...I'm getting nothing but errors. A traceroute to the server doesn't look good either.

The Melbourne Motorshow has a CBR1000R on a revolving pedestal....alas I wasn't allowed to go near it let along sit on it. The public is kept at an arms length unfortunately.

It was a bit disappointing I wanted to check out how much room is left in the seat compartment, now that the exhaust is is under there and Honda is adding the Ulock. But apparently they don't have the keys...

If anyone is going, it looks like the whole Honda sport-touring range is there is you want to check it out. The other bikes really didn't get much of my attention though.

The guys I spoke to at the Honda stand tentatively told me that the Fireblade is expected to be priced in the $18k-$19k bracket which is much better than the $19k-$20 on my deposit receipt and other sources willing to hazard a guess at the price.

I might also have some other interesting news as well, just need to check something first...stay tuned.

An interesting widget that was at the Motorshow.

Road Angel

Supposedly has accurate speed readouts using GPS postioning, is "Motorcycle compatiable" (for an extra $80) and provides warnings of Accident blackspots, school zones, red light cameras, average speed cameras and fixed speed cameras. So if you've got a spare $995 (or $895 direct from the motorshow) you'll be better informed. But there does seem to be a subscription fee after the first 12 months.

try this one http://members.optusnet.com.au/eclipze/1.jpg

9k rpm looks like nice spot to sit on.

Which reminds me there was a good article on the Power Vs Torque debate on page 74 of the Feb issue (#106) of Ride magazine.

hmmm didnt read it what did it say?? TLR riders would be on the Torque side for sure

[brennyP]

Power is nothing with out Torque and Torque is nothing without the Revs for it to be used...so you just need a nice rev range with a good dose of Torque...ie our bikes

Yeah I know, and to think he will be selling the bike soon, we'll never see him on it, might have more chance of seeing you on yours

I can see why you're not interested in the rides, who in their right mind would want to leave that delightful aroma!?!
