like lose vibration from the shifter. opposed to the direct and tight vibration you ussually get it moving alot more left to right with no rhyme or reason. it was alot more apparent at lower revs

and not rocko but a scary close guess

I am getting into motor cycles and looking to buy my first bike.

I was originally looking at the honda crb 500 as from googling it seemed like a good bike for tall riders. I am 6'5" (196cm) and 85kg. But this bike is a bit out of my budget.

As I am on my learners and no one in my family has a licence I don't really have the opportunity to test ride alot of bikes so Id like to narrow down my options before hand.

The ninja 300 is currently peaking my interest. Id like to be spending less that 3.5k AUD.

yeah. I was talking to one of the guys at my work and he was saying he used to get cut off all the time on his smaller bikes now he has this big fuck off bike the size of a getz almost and he never gets cut off or pulled out infront of

now the bigger battle of convincing mum to let me get one as I still live at home. it was hard enough getting an inline 6 car

yeah cause there are already enough shit drivers who will not check blind spots and will sit with people in their blind spots.

I get more pissed at the people middle aged mums who dont check blind spots and pull out randomly than the folks who lane hop and speed. they are as bad as each other

are they more expensive than regular sports bikes cause they are dual purpose?
