Sorry for avin a go at you then mole! i thought you were really havin a go!

Keen,
It does about 50mph on the flat. It takes about 6-7 seconds to 40mph I reckon, and then slowly makes it up to 50. I really love the acceleration, but the top end lets me down when I'm out of the town centre area

Anyone know how fast an 11hp 4 stroke gets to 60 please? (I get my new bike tomorrow Very Happy

)

My Sym Jet takes about 5 seconds to get to 40 then after that it goes steady away upto 65 ish (on a flat) does 55 usually, down to 50 on a moderate hill.

what type of bike are you getting doddmaster?

I'm not sure about 4 stroke 125 0-60 times- I'm sorry to say that I think its pretty long. The Suzuki GS125 I learn't on used to get to 50 quickly then crawl up to about 65 (downhill with the wind behind it Smile

).

It was South Durham Motorcycles that I learn't with in Bishop, they used to be near the bus depot but then they moved to bondgate street- They might have changed their name to SW when they moved cos I can't think of anywhere else that it might be, what does it stand for?

Hey mate

Yeah I really prefer sports bikes, but I got to think "Insurance!" all the time. The policy cost half of what an NSR would cost and a 3rd of what an RS would cost. Plus, it only cost £800 for bike less than 3 years old

I'll keep this to pass my test, and get my years NCB (I already have 8 months from the scoot insurance) then get me a ZXR400 or VFR/RVF400

I cant get my knee down on my NSR125RK no matter how hard i try as my tyers start squirming/slidding (my legs r very short though)
Shocked

Oh man, I went to start it up earlier and impress my m8s at work with the beautiful rumbling noise it makes, and it wouldnt start :oops: they were all laughing at me so badly. Anyway, I eventually got it going with the kicker (after about 20 kicks) and got it home. I then tried to start it again and it wouldnt. Then I remembered the choke, I put that down and it started easily. My question is- how long do I need to leave it down for in the future?

Doodmaster- I agree with mole, each to his own- a bikes a bike. You wanna get a leather jacket with 'LIVE TO RIDE' on the back! Laughing

Keen · World Chat Champion Joined: 03 Apr 2002 Karma :

I've seen a similar looking bike in Bishop before- always riding with a scooter. Thats's not you is it MultiSync, cos I think I remember you said your mate had a custom-style bike?

You mean how long should you leave the choke on for???

I always leave mine on for as shorter time as possible. A minute max, I only use the choke to get the bike started and to let it warm up slightly, as soon as it will tick over on its own with no choke I leave it.
