Alright I lied... I'm sorry but I can't stay away that long-I'm back...

I just bought the CBR- Almost brand new 15 plate 1000 miles on it. this costs more than an early used er6n or a gladius which will be my next purchase when I sell it - and all the A2 stuff is paid for so money's not an issue- only skill is lacking so no excuses anymore in a few months- and like I said I will sell it in a few months when I feel it's all second nature. (should be given I'll ride it minimum 3 hours every single day for deliveries)

Edit: or if I feel less boring maybe save up a bit more in those few months and get the MT-07- the chosen bike will last 2 years after all- that's ages to feel bored.

(see? the wild dreams and yip yap have somewhat stopped Smile

)- pictures of me on it below

Anyway I rode it 30 miles from east (dealership) to west London to show buddy and then back home 70 miles from buddy's on national speed limit countryside twisties at night- just totally pitch black! (gets dark fiveish now)- I don't understand do drivers drive at 60mph on twisties when virtually less than 10 feet ahead can be seen, how motorcyclists do it astounds me- during daytime I look far ahead into the bend on the bike but at night I don't have that anymore... went super super slow when I saw those chicane signs with my headlights. I enjoyed London really great fun but the second stage at dark just not fun at all at- I've done those roads fine during the day and enjoyed them but how do I get rid of that fear of maxing it when I can't see far ahead... no other bikers who passed me seemed to have an issue...

Oh.. I stupidly forgot to bring a clear visor Rolling Eyes

only had the dark smoke so had the choice of being totally blind or having eyes stung with visor up Laughing

- man they were so bloodshot after

Good on you for getting a bike. Thumbs Up

Slow down - those Nite Ridas probably know the road very well, which won't help them in the slightest when they hit a patch of ice or mud or diesel or a badger.

JDM Corsa, super-legit.

Well that saved me a post... Unless it has an undeclared red top engine in it of course. Wink

But yeah, my 300bhp S3 quattro still could only manage 5.5 seconds.

Regardless of the powerplant...it's still a Corsa, and it's still shit.

RX8 is in another league all together and the reliability issues are somewhat exaggerated provided the car has been properly cared for. It isn't a Corsa after all, it's a niche motor that needs more attention. Admittedly it can be a bit of a lottery finding a good one although I believe the coil packs on the R3s were much more reliable.

I think the trouble with a lot of you 'car guys' is that they just want to have fun squirting in a straight line up and down dual carriageways. I know a guy with a tuned Civic Type R and I asked him what his favourite road was. He named a dual carriageway with a 60mph speed limit that's got maybe 4 shallow bends. Said he hates back roads in it. I suspect a lack of skill.
