neo Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Bought this last week to squash in the garage along with the Nitrous powered westy, just in case that was'nt fast enough, what do you think, worthy machine Quote
bootleboy Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Very Nice! But which will get blatting priority ? Not jealous at all! Much! I traded in an SV650 for my Westy - not regretting it though, no really! Quote
oioi Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 bit slow i was coming back from kielder and got held up by a bunch of bikers thro the twiddlies. then every time i got past a couple, id get in the traffic, they would get by quicker than me and then back to square one. one guy on a cbr when we stopped at some lights said "fsck me! what have you got in that thing" he then tried to out drag me up a hill. he backed of at around 120 Quote
bootleboy Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 PS. You have far too much disposable income!! Note the jealousy?! Quote
neo Posted June 16, 2003 Author Posted June 16, 2003 an understanding wife works a bundle, we have an agreement she says, get what you want and i do good eh.... Quote
steve wilson Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Get some nitrous on it. Go on, you no you want to Quote
Bronco Jr Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Its the perfect compliment, well it would be if it were a Kwacker My westy sits next to the ZX9R, soon to be a ZX10 when its available. Seams odd to me that more people haven't got both, I know its a cash issue, but the concept of speed and handling justworks perfectly. Westy defo faster through the twistys but its hard to beat sub 3 secs to 60 and 170 flat out I guess I could sell the bike and squeeze another 50 horses out of the XE but it just doesnt seam like a good trade, but we are all different and thats what makes it fun Quote
Peter Cox Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 PS. You have far too much disposable income!! Note the jealousy?! absolutely...get more debt/ a bigger house/ etc... like the rest of us Quote
chrisbin Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Dunno bout the bike, but the Westy's looking mean Quote
Blatman Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 just in case that was'nt fast enough, what do you think, worthy machine Fast is a relative term. I'd race you across London, in the rush hour, and the only time you'd be anywhere near my K1100LT is when we start off...... Quote
neo Posted June 17, 2003 Author Posted June 17, 2003 That's all well and good blatter's but i don't live in London so lets make the open country roads of the north east But in real terms its what suits the individuel, and this suits me just fine, BMW more comfy, RG500 fall to bits every weekend but hey there a fair ground ride them......
