I bet that April is V4 sounds good , I had to sell my VF1000R as the knees are no longer able to tuck up under my arms when riding ?
But I did manage to buy a nice XC60 with the money.
Enjoy the ride Ash , more photos and a video with sound please
What motor bikes have you owned

I'll mms you some video/audio soon. :)
This one is pretty stock, complete with stock pipes so not super-angry sounding but still quite nice.

Nice , always liked em, wondered how long it would take for you to get to this!!!
I lusted after VFR750R , also RC30 , Pratt and Osborne had one in the front window.... ( 250LC $1499 , 350 1599 RC30 around $25K??)
The RC30 and later are now worh A LOT and also sound great but you know what
My LC250 and 350 Yamaha are now worth a lot as they were GIANT KILLERS , the 350LC Yamaha 2 stroke killed 750 four bikes in the day.
I always thought i was Eddie Lawson on my rides of the GO Road back in the 90s , no way in hell i could ride what i had properly yet i had all th fun in the world.
What i rexkon i bring from this ( and the guys that lament selling their Yamaha RD250/350LC 2 stroke bikes ) is , dont sell them , ride them fully........
Mate had 250LC , wore wetsuit under leathers for GO RD rides , extra paddinf when he dropped it.
Honda shop in Moorabool St son raced Honda , friday evening if he came by P&O shop he was on back wheel of VF750 giving us two fingers and he was wearing mockasins and trackey dax....
Use your ride to the full.
I still lust after my old 350 LC loved that bike even over the 500 . The 500 was just an animal ?

Yeah, I'm getting older, I'm a more sensible in my old age and I dont often make selfish purchases so I figured I'd just get it.
Age is a transition , from a rebel without a clue to a rebel with a clue , enjoy it while you can ??
52 yesterday and still think I'm 21 sometimes but the body says no no no ?
Ye age sucks , going into hospital 23rd August getting both knees total replacement, years of industrial fitting and early arthritis.
But need to get back out on the bikes again , so decided to retire early as well
15 days later
Picked up this new (to me) zx6r today…..
0-100 in way too quick
heavenly sound from the inline 4 up to the 18k rpm redline
lots of fun ??

Nice one. 167kg dry weight as well.
If you're interested (or if you simply havent found them already), here's all the specs on it -
https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/kawasaki/kawasaki_zx6r%2008.htmGreat website/tool actually. I used it a lot when I was looking for a learner bike and even more recently when I was debating a couple of other options in my head before I bought the Aprilia.
