i get people taking the piss about my little bike suck as when i had the mc16 and my new old CBR 400 aero they think i should get a bigger bike newer bike for some reason.

all i know is im not left behind when i ride with them and that my lil 50cc monkey bike and the mz50cc get more attention than there bikes.

i tried riding one of the rare R1's a while back (my mates) and i dont see the point in them i couldnt use all the power at any time and half of it some of the time.

around where i live the two stroke 250's and the 400/600's are the best for the twisty roads.

btw my mate died last week on the R1 on a road he rode on every day for 15 years. left a 200 yard mark from the engine cases on the road before hitting a wall.
