SBSP - Yeah when do you get the new ride?
Lets see some pics of the fresh-yet-to-be-crashed bike

And i agree totally with Friggs with the servicing, especially with the 230, that bike is supposed to be very user friendly in that department so i'm sure you'll manage no probs.
Extended warranty and service plan can be thrown back in their faces, it is a money making scheme

In fact servicing was one of the biggest reasons I got ride of my road bike, the service costs were just astronomical.
You've made the right choice with the bike though, it will be great fun, i'm very jealous *drool*

The finance is from MFC, I'm still arguing why i should pay R3000 deposit.

R3000 is not much but it still hurts and i can do way better things with it than spending it on a deposit. Like buying kit. Will keep you updated

Edit: Man they wont bite!
I dont have 3K

Looks like i'm going to sell my PS3

Can someone please help me find the post i made in the for sale section about a PS3 its not there anymore ??

Nice choice SBSP the 230 is a very nice bike to play with. I also have bike of my own a kawasaki kx 125.

What I can also ad KTM yes pricy but very nice bike my friend has a KTM 125 and I have a kawasaki 125 and the KTM is the faster one between us. But you pay for that. The 230 is a very good choice the only things I don't like about them are no disk brakes at the back and they also don;t have upside down shocks. But I sure one can manage with that.

PS let us know how when you get you bike.
BTW where do you live?

Screeper · Post by **Screeper** » 26 Feb 2008, 12:36

Looks very nice indeed
That Pro-circuit T4 pipe he has on there is so friken loud it is unbelievable. Gives you quite a bit more power though.

I wonder why he didn't just go for the 250 with all the changes he made to the bike but I it his bike not mine.

So SBSP, have you got it yet?
What are you first impressions?
Lets see some pics of you doing wheelies up and down the street and annoying the neighbours

Friggs · Post by **Friggs** » 28 Feb 2008, 18:58

post a pic!!!

Will probably be a while, he must be struggling to get off his new toy!!

P.S A pick of my bike so long

Parked next to the Sani Pass road in the Drakensberg mountains!

Just saw something interesting now, if you click on the pic the page loads and under the pic it tells you it was hot with a W800i... How the heck does the website pick that up? Quite impressive!

Nice to see a bike getting used properly.
That Sani Pass trip is great fun. Although it is getting very busy these days.

Definitely, weekends during holiday time was insane! I was working at the Sani Pass Hotel so I'd see all the traffic going up and down the whole day. Then Thaba tours (a local tour opperator) would come and collect a hundred or so guests and a huge convoy of vehicles would go up. Would hate to do it with lots of traffic, much nicer to go in off peak when there's just a few other vehicles going up and down.

Nice bike Friggs I think we should all get together on day and go riding some where... What do you say??

SBSP · Post by **SBSP** » 29 Feb 2008, 08:01

Okay, I got it!!!!

Will post some pics, later i will take some pics first before i take it for a spin.

Sure if you can afford it and feel the need for power that's a awesome quad. Do you have any experience on a quad?

Post by **maxxis** » 03 Mar 2008, 09:35

I have some experience (read I can ride and change gears :p)

Reason for buy a proper quad is that I don't want to start on a smaller one only to find out 3 months down the line that I want more power and need to spend more money.

Rode a 400 Suzuki over the weekend and it was pretty strong but I can get a great deal on the 650.

Kennyisalive · Post by **Kennyisalive** » 03 Mar 2008, 10:00

If the 650 is for you sure but thats alot more power than that 400. The suzuki LT-Z400 and 450 are very nice quads and have more power than you will need for a long time. Just one Q why a Quad?

Post by **maxxis** » 03 Mar 2008, 10:12

Looking for something that both the wife and I can play with.

Kennyisalive · Post by **Kennyisalive** » 03 Mar 2008, 10:16

then I will say the 450 that 650 has allot and I mean ALLOT of Power

Post by **maxxis** » 03 Mar 2008, 10:18

Cool. Thanks

Ill look at the 450.

Kennyisalive · Post by **Kennyisalive** » 03 Mar 2008, 10:30

Just suggestion why not get the wife a 250 and your self a 250 bike?
