Gwr vr6 10 Posted March 18, 2015 Cracking bikes the tdr , right hooligan tool down a bendy road , and great at lifting the front wheel , preferred them over the tzr tbh as the tzr was so little and I'm 6ft2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZpog 10 Posted March 18, 2015 Cracking bikes the tdr , right hooligan tool down a bendy road , and great at lifting the front wheel , preferred them over the tzr tbh as the tzr was so little and I'm 6ft2 I'm 5ft7 so when considering a TDR I had to see if I could cock my leg over it first. Remember one of the lads with a 600 bandit asking another mate what the hell it was as he initially thought it was a 125, until it blitz his 600. Strange that despite being a bit vertically challenged, I've rode many a taller bike in anger. [ATTACH=CONFIG]81159[/ATTACH] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madmatt 10 Posted March 20, 2015 i used to love the old 2 stroke my last 1 was a tuned f2 ypvs 60hp at the wheel doesnt sound much but upset lots.then a couple of gsxr was fun to start with but the elastic throttle response soon wore off. ducatis next the bike ive owned for 18years my 900superlight not powerfull but up thru wales just spot on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
