What bike do you have and what would you give out of 10?

[Tom_N]

What bike you guys got?? what rating out of 10 would you give it and why?

[akaDAVE]

ZXR400. 9/10

The only other bikes I have ridden are a CG125 and a Suzuki ER5 doing my test so I can't really make a sound evaluation!

It hasn't gone wrong (yet) and it has been absolutely spot on for what I need since passing my test and learning how to ride.
Done 3000 miles on it since August and have loved every minute.

I have a K5 GSX-R 600, I love it, it does everything i need it to.

Cheaper to insure than a 750 or 1000 but still very quick. 10/10 IMO

1992 Fireblade (seat of my pants test):

Performance - 9 - Better than me and more than enough for the road.

Handling - 7 - Bit squishy, vague feeling from tyres (hopefully put this up to 8 once the mods have been completed).

Looks - 9 - Bit old fashioned in places, but I see that as a good thing.

Running Costs - 7 - cheap(ish) (almost classic) insurance, 45mpg.

Bike Meet Attraction Rating - 8 - not as good as my RVF, but getting there as it's an appreciating classic. Plus it's getting cleaner and has a few 'trick' parts.

Overall - 8/10.

Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 2003.

For me it has to be 10/10, it does everything I want and ask of it.

K5 GSXR 600. 9/10

It does everything perfectly. But I would of liked it more if it had a slipper clutch like some of the current bikes.

SV650s say 9/10

Its really just what i want, it sounds lovly but only 70bhp, i really dont want anymore than that at the moment as i use it for commuting

Can do ridouts, commutes, gental riding, going for it on your own, really a multi purpose bike

BUT

Not real top end power, all mid and low but that what V-twins are so dont mind but will go for a IL4 next i think

There are a few areas i really want to change, first being the numberplate fixing, new undertray is needed which is almost £100

also suspension need new better spring and a IL600 shock as just feels vague and doesnt give any feedback

After a few hundred quid it will be perfect for a few years till i upgrade (this will be when i have a car aswell though )

[NC30UK]

VFR400 - 6/10

Strong engine with alot of pull to it, but must berevved hard to keep up with modern stuff. Classic but getting slightly dated looks. Crampt riding position i find unsuitable for journeys of over 30 miles.

[IronMaiden]

Honda CBR600F4i

10/10 - Because it's never given me a day's grief.

The number plate keeps mysteriously finding it's way into my rucksack on long trips though! I swear I don't know how that happened officer!

[Sparks!]

[EuropeanNC30R...]

91' VFR400 NC30 - 9/10

Done Europe twice, Brands/Silverstone/Nurburgring, two RWYB drag race meetings all without much in the way of complaint. Eat's up hard-riding 450 mile days with ease.

Real do-everything bike

It would have got a 10 but for some charging issues, but I can forgive it that.

[Nb]

2005 Suzuki v-strom 650
I'd give it 9 out 10 purely because it can turn its hand to anything.

2000 GSX-R 600 Y

(If in 100% condition) 7/10. Stunning bike, stunningly fast. Could do with sharper front brakes, 6 pots would be lovely. Lovely arse but looks at the front end are starting to get a little dated now its 3 generations old as of 2006. I get compliments on the noise it makes everywhere it goes and that is something I would like to take with me to my next bike.

In current nick 5/10 - you need to keep on top of the servicing!

1 out of 10

Its green.

[mrchips]

Currently AR125

Performs quite well for a 125 with a reasonable kick off the powerband. Back end skips all over the place in corners but pretty flickable. Not the most uncomfortable. Somethings always breaking. On a rating of 125s I'd give it about 6 or 7.

GSX-R750 K3 9/10

Wouldn't want to tour on it, but then it'd be a stupid choice of bike if that was what I was doing. Everywhere else it's pretty much faultless (although a slipper clutch would be nice...).

[Andrewc2oo5zx...]

zxr400 - brill bike rarish colours, pretty quick but giving me a lot of hassle since the engine went bang, once new engine is in ratings will go up -- 7 / 10

Peugeot speedfight 50

For a scooter it's got good handling, and good brakes. Also doesn't dive under braking thanks to the frong swingarm.

Small fuel tank and poor economy hold it back, though

8/10(in comparison to other scooters)

I'll be honest and do my two road bikes.

GSXR400 1990 - 5/10

Doesnt look too bad with the single seat unit but still very dated and round. Power is pretty not bad but sometimes a little boring on normal days (ie accelerating on a straight road) yeh it may be fun on twisty roads but being honest i was hardly ever on them so acceleration lacked.

Reliability was crap, broke down every day and cost £1700 in reapairs which still didnt fix it. Basically chucked it in the bin in the end.

ZX6R 2001 - 7/10

Bright yellow. Power was very very smooth which was quite boring, i wanted it to rip my arms off. Didn't look that nice bit bulky and bus like. Overall quite a nice bike to ride daily but i wouldn't get another pre 2003 (new shape) model.

[craigs23]

I'm a bit worried now

1994 RVF:

Performance - 6 - Adequate, but a real world 130mph isn't exactly slow for my type of riding. I haven't been faster down my favourite roads.

Handling - 8 - Very confidence inspiring. Felt like I could get away with murder on the thing, though low speed handling was pants.

Looks - 10 - RVFs still stop me in my tracks, plus that noise

Running Costs - 9 - Cheap as chips on fuel/insurance/wear and tear. 1 point knocked off for complexity of the V4.

Bike Meet Attraction Rating - 10 - I used to watch the magpies flock when parked up at bike meets, kids on day trips with their parents asked to have their photo taken next to it, I even got recognised a couple of times because of the bike (or just see the looks I used to get when riding through town (including people winding down their windows and complementing the bike at traffic lights )).

Overall - 9/10 - bugger; a better bike (for me) than the Blade?

[The Old Geeza]

Kawasaki GPX250

8/10 - Great little machine, nice sporty ride

Kawasaki GPZ500

10/10 - Fast and powerful. Put's the shits up me

8/10

good little sports bike really helps you learn to ride a sports bike, handles very very good but needs a fair amount of looking after and care, hard bike to setup (carbs etc) but worth it when its running right. I live at the bottom of corwall so the bike is perfect for the twisty roads. The bike looks very cool with its classic GSXR frame, finding a goodone is hard as most have been ragged but if you get one that has been pampered then it will make you smile alot!!! . No problem keeping up with other sports bikes if ridden well
