One fast scooter!

I like corners.  Esses especially.  Closely followed by roundabouts (that's a "circle" to you Septics).

And the new breed of 600s can happily hang on to a bigger bike until you hit freeway, then it just comes down to who's got more bottle.  

Hit 160 once on mine in the dead of night on a deserted Dutch highway.

I am a simple man, so "septic" may or may not be an insult, I don't know.   Just to be safe, here is your salute :D.

FYI,  I ate up a F4i  the other day on my fazer, in the curves and even moreso coming out of the curves.

That is without a doubt the most BLATENT display of stupidity I've ever seen....

I WANT ONE!!!! :D :D


Brings back memories of when I raced snowmobiles on water (IWA watercross).  Nothing like strapping on a machine that goes 0 to 60 mph in 30 feet :D.  If you didn't have your ***** in once sock when the flag went down, you were in a world of hurt.

Cod, that was fun.  To be young, stupid and without fear again.

:D  Nah "septic" is cos I read Rip doesn't like people using the Y word, so I switched to the cockney slang instead.  Personally I think it's worse but oh well, he is the CO after all. ;)

And what's a F4i?   I've either not read enough bike mags recently or they naming em different in the US again.  Thought they'd stopped all that with the confusion over ZXRs.

You guys over on the island don't get the Honda CBR 600's?  The last few years they have made the F4i, which is just a light little racer.  It's quick and nimble.  It's closely related to the CBR 600 RR.

Oh them.  Yeah we get them, not sure if we get the F4i model though, I know we get CBR600RRs.
