spraypainter Newcomer Location: perth wa Registered: November 2004	Re: 250 Motorbike Q's Thu, 25 November 2004 11:41 Hey grant,170 is pulling your chain...I had the opportunity to ride the first production RGV250 when it got delivered to WA (remember the pepsi/kevin shwantz models introduced in 88/89?)and once the tyres are warm you can gently lift the rear wheel on front brake only,even when it's wet.Outstanding feel from the standard brakes.The six piston calipers he's referring to may fit but are heavier and a complete waste of your money. Bear in mind that they are as expensive to buy bits for as any bigbore you may be thinking of.Two strokes have for years been sold in the under 250cc market to learner riders,some of whom are also learning about maintanance,or the lack of,and how much it can cost when you don't do it.These bikes you are all discussing(with the exception of the cbr which is quite docile)have another common trait which may not be apparent to the relatively inexperienced rider and it's this... Unlike the bikes i learnt to ride on in the 60's/70's which by comparison,had shitty suspension and the tyres to go with it...and generally wobbled and swayed around a bit before flicking you onto the almost nonexistent and boring/el cheapo gear we had back then(jeans/maybe a white helmet/tee shirt)these things don't do that.Next time you look at an NSR,have a look under the righthand footpeg and you should see HRC RACING stamped on the MAGNESIUM crankcases...don't break those...the cbr also has some very expensive internals to cope with it's horsepower seeking and massive redline.Bit's for the rgv you can get just about anywhere...Well maintained NSR's and RGV's are almost identical to ride(but you would'nt want a pillion passenger)and trailbikes around town on knobby tyres takes a hell of a lot of beating just on the sheer funfactor index... Enjoy it [Report message to a moderator]
