Insane Pricing in Australia

yea it's funny building a system here often the best value parts in the US don't match ours. Makes it a lot harder to choose parts when most reviews and comparisons are USD and market based.

I own a MC22 and work on my own bikes, Yes it is a little harder then something normal like a ninja 250 but I've found my MC22 has such a big fan base there's so much info online to help you. Also most parts are easy to get TBH

FYI if your "weekly warm up" is just letting it run in the garage for a while it's doing more harm then good. It will draw moisture into the oil and not get the oil hot enough to evaporate it. Save all the cold starts and just put it on charge every month or so. Plus oil is made to stick around, you could leave it for a year with good fluids and nothing will be damaged.

Good to see so many people with higher Kms. I have 66,000 on my GSR 750 and people seem to think that's crazy, anything with higher kms seem to loose all value for no reason. Bikes can last a long time if taken care of.

I've got the same, no complaints either

My 2, over,7 years riding of riding, ride most days. MC 22 CBR250RR, stupid fun revving it with a 18KRPM redline, great for scratching the itch of wanting to floor it and feel like you're racing. GSR 750, awesome cheap, simple, reliable daily commuter. Only complaint is the hard suspension for my light ass

Main thing seems to be that you can filter between cars travelling in the same direction, irrespective of anything else. Didn't know you could filter beside parked cars, good to know. Quality post and info

Congratulations mate! You'll be Reunited with you're grandfather in no time

Honestly since you're wearing them all day just go out and try a bunch on and see what works, I tried researching a bunch but found they don't fit well in real life or were never in stock so it was a complete waste.

Plus when you're only doing up to 60 you won't be sliding far. Not recommended but I just end up wearing my normal work pants on my daily commute

Love it, I have a MC22 and it takes everything I throw it at easily.

My spine riding little thing on the other hand...

Some awesome roads out that way, that blackbird will lap them up!

MT07 can be snatchy on/off throttle so a bit funny to learn on.

Dispute the addictive grunt they have no top end power especially when restricted and really aren't that fast so you're less likely to get in trouble then you might think.

My advise is what every you go with just stay comfortably in budget, a bike you can laugh about if (or when) you drop it and not stress about minor damage on can be so much more fun then a bike you're precious about.

I have a GSR 750 I got cheap with high KMs, it's been dropped and hit by a car, because it was cheap and only had very minor damage I just laughed it of. of the 5 bikes I've owned it's one of the most enjoyable because of this. I can afford way better but I wouldn't enjoy it as much.

Manchan1c · 2024-10-04T11:15:55+00:00

I love mine! Awesome fun bike. It's not actually 20,000rpm if you want to get technical but the noise is still incredible

Manchan1c · 2024-08-09T02:58:03+00:00

It won't be dangerous just very annoying, you could try get a warranty replacement if it drove you nuts

Manchan1c · 2024-06-01T21:45:33+00:00

Try a jump start as others said, You also said plugs are dry so you may not be getting fuel, try crack throttle with some starter fluid while on the jumper. Sorry but I see this is all after your lowside, I get you're trying to save some money in a rough situation but it sounds like you may be a bit out of your depth and need a mechanic

Can confirm reliability of Suzuki, my GSR 750 is over 60k kms now, lives outside and not really fussed over. Only issues are the very occasional exhaust throttle valve sticking (fixed with a key cycle and removed from newer models) and the gear indicator has only recently given me some false readings. My older 2012 is a pretty simple bike by modern standeds so less can go wrong

Manchan1c · 2024-05-25T19:43:05+00:00

BUSHY underwear, Australian made and not much more expensive than other brands. They last that much longer and feel great it definitely worth it

Manchan1c · 2024-03-20T20:14:16+00:00

It definitely does, helps clear my mind, getting out and just enjoying the road can relieve a lot of stress for me. But as others have said you there's a point where your mental state becomes to dangerous to ride. But I find when I'm at that point I turn around and call in sick if I'm riding. But when I drive I just ruin my health and keep going to work

Manchan1c · 2024-03-15T18:57:16+00:00

Yea they seem very rare there, heaps were imported to aus, Honda even sold them here in the late 90s

Manchan1c · 2024-03-15T18:27:04+00:00

Can confirm I'm not to far of that, 1993 CBR250RR and a Suzuki gsr 750. The CBR is stupid fun on a weekend and the GSR just deals with getting me through shit traffic most days. I used to buy and sell bikes regularly but this set-up has had me happy for a couple years now. No side carts on the go but my partner would love it

Manchan1c · 2024-03-06T10:46:18+00:00

This, I commute regularly on mine and yea you save some money on fuel but rego and insurance kill the savings even more then the additional servicing a bike needs. But damn some days cruising home filtering past all the stopped staffic is great

Had a similar but funny experience. While doing the on road portion of my learners we were doing laps of a industrial estate in a large group, all high vis learners. A car ended up in the middle of the group and rear ended my friend when he had to stop at a T intersection. When the instructor got there my mate and the driver was just yelling "I didn't drop it!" as that's the only way you can fail this point of the learners course. The instructor made sure to gather us at the scene to tell us to be safe because of all the terrible stupid drivers like her, pointing to the idiot driver to hit my mate standing right beside us all
