400's vs 600's

[Dan]

It has to be said, I think ive outgrown the 400. Not that i dont have fun on my little VFR400R, but i feel like im really riding it to the limit all the time - cant be good for the purring V4...

Time to move to a 600?

[Tark]

Yeah.

But are you really hammering you 400 to its limit?

on the straights and on an open road maybe, but i know how fast these buggers can go round a track.

Unless your fairing and toe selector is touching the floor your not on the limit! :lol:

Get a 600 anyway! :roll:

[Dan]

I will mate... just waiting for the right one to come up.

If i was sinsible, i'd sell my VFR now... loads like mine (and not in as mint condition) going on biketrader for 2700-3000 - mines only done 15,000 miles!

Only cos its the time of year tho... but i cant be without a bike from the time i sell the VFR to the time i get a 600... no bike.... uurrggh, makes me shudder just to think about it.

[Tark]

Sell it! and for the rest of the summer use my TZR!! or buy my CBr to get your kicks on the track!? :wink:

[Spider]

lol yeah use tarks tzr then i can definatly keep up lol!!!

[Tark]

Just you remember that you cant ride your 250 yet! and even when you can it will be restricted to 33bhp. My TZR125 is nearly running that!

[Spider]

well lardfy dah and it wont be restricted lol id rather risk it than run at a 125 level!!!

[Tark]

Until you get caught speeding and then cant ride at all! :lol:

[Spider]

lol can ! just not legaly never stopped me before wont stop me then!

[FingerZ!]

now now people!

chill!

Dan - you cant get a 600 cos i will be jealous!

as for the VFR400 sell it to paul! lol!

[Spider]

tim whats it matter if your jelous over his 600 as arnt you already jelous of dans VFR

[FingerZ!]

well yeah i spose i am jealous of his VFR but then in a straight line i can keep up if not gain on him - his bike is lighter and handles a lot better than mine, but then again if i was confident enough, my bike is capable of keeping up with what he does no worries im just not a great rider lol!

I mean, we both ride fast, but no where near the limit of our bikes - maybe revs wise yes but not round corners! We havent got our knees down yet lol!

[Dan]

tim whats it matter if your jelous over his 600 as arnt you already jelous of dans VFR

But un-called for i think mate.

[Spider]

???? how ya mean?

[FingerZ!]

Nah i am mate im jealous of most things anyways - like when we were talkin bout money the other night and you couldnt believe how much i earn!!

well its true mate n thats how come i cant keep up with you on the decent belongings thing lol!

not to mention thats usually why i have the hump half the time cos i got no money yet i work like a dog all the time lol!

i can honestly say im physically and mentally exhausted the last 3 days - thursday night kicked my arse aswell as work!

Hate to say this but im contemplating selling the bike n maybe the car n gettin a newer car but still fast - that way i got money each month n stuff - horrible but might have to happen

[Tark]

Well on the subject of money i think that I am probably the worst off.

I get paid £100 a week.

I run my car my TZR plus pay for all my racing myself. My car insurance at the min costs £1200 (never mind what it will be next year after my crash!) Now I owe my mam £1000 for her car. It cost me £300 to get a crane to move the car. I pay £20 a week board and it costs £200 everytime I race. So thats me Skint every month!

[Dan]

What do you do work wise then?

[FingerZ!]

well no disrespect but that dont work out does it

if you really only got £100 a week, in reality you wouldnt be able to afford the car insurance let alone your bike and your car and your racing - so you must get extra money from somewhere i.e: if you win a race cos you surely you dont live in £100000000000 of negative numbers! just wouldnt work would it! Cos after a few months, thats what your account would look like innit!!!

I do Private jobs now n then when i get spare time - only get a few quid here n there now n then but it pays for my food n petrol for a week. This means i dont have to take that money out the bank - so then i can either go out for a drink or save the money towards something! :)

but it takes such a ****ing long time since i started paying for my motorbike! GRRRR

[Tark]

Well i am in negative numbers!

[FingerZ!]

but there must be a light at the end of the tunnel surely? as in after seekin sponsorship you will be winnin races n be minted?!?!?!

i dont go negative unless i know there is away out or its unplanned :?

[Tark]

well things are t*ts up this month cos of crashing the car.

I can usually just about afford to do the things i want but i cant go out drinking or watse money on things like that.

I am gonna have to Sell my TZR to pay for a new car for my mum and then everything should be ok.

If/When i get some sponsorship Racing should be easier for me.

I only race 1/2 a month cos thats all i can afford.

[FingerZ!]

i see :?

who pays for the bike etc?

[Tark]

Me

I pay for the TZR and the CBR

[Tark]

And As to answer Dans question. I am a 3rd Year Apprentice at the Moment. Electrical and Instrument Engineering

[FingerZ!]

hmmm time to finish the apprenticeship eh?!
