Yeah that's makes sense mate, the cbr 400s are a awesome bike for reference, there like a baby fire blade, really fun to ride still hold good money at the moment though is the only downside to buying a one,

I'd love an MT-07 but they are big money.

Cheers Johnny lad [emoji106] yeah I do have a soft spot for my Suzuki, I had a love hate relationship with it for a while but then made it my own and love it [emoji4]

I would love to have a dirt bike / crosser I had a 50cc one it was my first ever road bike, and I loved it at 16 with a road legal crosser and my mates all still on push bikes or scooters haha, but never actually owned a proper off road dirt bike and would love to just hit some off road trails on one and get right clarted up with mud[emoji23]

It does sound like you have a KTM like stance said......so jealous [emoji23] they are an awesome crosser, well they look awesome and fun

KTM cost a fortune.. If it was cheapbid say a Chinese bike. I had a Chinese 150cc dirt bike I only paid €110 for and loved it so much. I thrashed the sh*t out of it constantly and broke it so many times. Ended up swapping it for a 125cc Honda engined drift buggy. I would love a KTM Superduke!

Think I paid 4 or 500 so possibly is a ktm

It's unreal fun I have a motoX not 5 mins away as well but my favourite is jumping over ditches in fields, at the back of my house is a field with two streams and we made makeshift ramps to jump them[emoji38]I live in a fairly remote area so alot of places to off road

That's the good thing about the Chinese bikes there so cheap you can literally just throw it about everywhere and not really care haha.

That's sounds like my kind of day Johnny we literally have roads around here and as soon as you take a crosser anywhere near a field some old busy body phones the police and they come move you on [emoji107]

Stance mate I agree with you there about the super duke [emoji7][emoji7] I absolutely love the designs they put on the wheels

That's the nicest looking bike I've ever seen :O I know a guy with a black one. It has so much torque it's mad. Just accelerate hard on it and it goes straight up on the back wheel, no need to slip the clutch.

We got that alot at the start but as long as we leave the field fairly close to how it was the local farmers don't really care, best is this time of year before they start plowing the fields they don't mind if we rip them up abit

Nice lid pal [emoji106] has it got the pin lock visor in it??

I just got my bike out for the first time in about 8 week nearly and fired up right away had to make a slight adjustment to the clutch and then took it for a blast just to blow the cobwebs of because I'm using now while the car is of the road.

And oh....my god!! I forgot how much of a weapon that thing is I know it's just a 500 but when you ain't been on it for ages it feels fast as when ya get on it, it was just wanting away all the time, was accelerating really hard coming off round about on our bypass and the back end was twitching and stuff [emoji7][emoji7] got my bike bug back I think haha

What is a pin lock visor ? It has a ratchet style strap and a handy retractable inner sun Visor. It's well comfy, I wore it through two episodes of Malcolm in the Middle and then made dinner just to make sure I can wear it for long periods.

Is there any engine mods done to the GS?? I'd love something with power. It's pretty scary when the rear or the bike kicks on takeoff haha.
