listed in yr description. Presumably your need for speed stops at 30/40/50/60, or 70 mph depending on the posted speed limit......?
Or maybe you trackday your 600 bandit??
Bikes and an empty road are too much fun to be 100% sensible!!
They have few other good points, they get you wet, they fall over easily, and the accident/mortality rates are horrendous.
Then again, mebbe you just need to practice your wheelies.... :wink:

speed is ok - in the correct place ;) but would you drive your car with 3 wheels on the road? no didnt think so, i dont care how good you are bikes have 2 wheels for a reason... all it takes is 1 person in a car and its game over!
seen too many people i know wiped out by someone while the biker hasnt had 100% concentration.
I have been riding bikes for nearly 22 years on and off, and touch wood i have had 1 'off' and that was through someone overreacting in a car . yes i like the odd 3 figure forey - but when roads and conditions allow, not in 30 limits at 9:30 am like some 'bikers'...
LOve the stunt riders who do these things in a controlled enviroment, but roads are for driving and riding within the law!

First ever emergency call out was for a biker that tboned a transit at 80 in a 30 limit, him and his mate were drag racing on a residential road and the trasnsit was backing off. The mate broke just about everything and ended up in a cravan. The guy that hit the van we couldnt do a lot for.
Sold my bke a month after. Miss it sometimes. One wheel seemed to be its normal mode of operation.
skip:
I've never had the brass to get the front wheel more than a couple inches off the floor. It's the thought of binning a bike I can't afford to replace. I'm pretty good at it with the works tractors though, and the wheeled excavator does great stoppies. :lol:
