about £50 a gallon mate, i spend most of the day dodging the ******* riding on the footpaths of london to park up.

i hate them with a passion.

i'd have respect for a Triumph Daytona or a nice duke, doing the same, but these hairdryer riding poofs can **** off....

IMHO, of course

I hate mopeds but they are handy for negotiating traffic - as long as some dumb c**t does'nt knock you off

I miss riding my Honda CBR tho.....

Yes I think so, this may have changed??

I started a job as a motorcycle instructor but found I really did'nt have the patience to deal with incompetent riders

I would'nt want to be responsible for letting some of these little sh1tes out on the road

well when the boffins at subaru finally manage to build a car that the gearbox doesn't fall out of 5 times and can do 200 mph let me know i'll buy one

oh and it has to cost less than 10 grand too or they can stick the over priced pile of shiat

Question

Didn't realise a Hyabusa could do 200mph standard, is it modified ? By the way I ride a 125 scooter for the daily commute £5 for a full tank of petrol and I can do 130miles.
Used to have a bigger bike found I didn't use it enough.
