its a shame that moto gp has being so ''big'' because its lost the edge it had that took them to where it is today who wants too pay £65 for a ticket ? its a hobby a way of life and in this world biking cost a fair bit and when you want too go too the races with a few pals and see some good racing talking too other bikers i payed about 25 or 30 quid too go too bsb we had a good time think i even got some gloves

a dream of mine is too go to the isle of man TT the riders have chestnuts of steel with amazing skill

Odd choice for Spies but I guess it was either them or out of the paddock. And once you leave there's almost no chance of coming back.

MotoGP should be looked at carefully as it doesn't provide enough decent/close racing. Last time I actually went was in the mid-late 90's (I think it was last or penultimate year of Doohan) and it was about £40. Good price and a good day. I've not since wanted to go again mind you.

for me nd the missus to go to the motogp costs more than my bike insurance does for the whole year!

incidently i might just have bought one of these...1989 G-reg Yamaha Fazer 1000-R EXUP


needs a good bit of work doing to it...my mate with 20+ bikes bought it as a project, if i pay him the £400 he paid for it, its mine...just checked insurance, once its finished i would like it to be close to £2k, TPF&T insurance comes in at £160 a year...thats only £30 more than the zxr...

i thought places like that was spose too look after there fans i love motorsport and for the price you pay its sh*t and the food is pants also you eat a burger that cost 7 quid and i bet you sh*t it out for a week its a shame as i havnt been im a while because of the prices taking advange of peoples love for the sport

also reason i quoted you in this post is that bike is sweeet but you have got too post a photo of youre one i have always liked the older looking bikes dont know why but then again i do like the new gsxr k12 and the zx6r 636

Thats an FZR thou not a Fazer dude. The fazer uses a detuned R1 motor so think that came out about the same time as the R1.

sorry, yes, dont know why i wrote fazer...engine is coming out this weekend, electrics are all stripped off the bike waiting for new aly subframe

Awesome bikes as long as you havent ridden anything too modern. I had an import 750 genesis and loved it. I think these are good for about 140 bhp so coming out of roundabouts should be a hoot when you get it sorted. The exup valve is the achillies heel as far as I've heard and doesn't run right if you bodge it.

the exup on mine is nice and spins fine with no sticking - which is good

you can remove it, but its a bitch to get it to fuel right under 4k rpm, and in order to get the fuelling right you need to go for the full stage 3 (if you ditch the exup), so thats 2 pod filters, stage 3 needles, full system and can...not going down that route just yet

there is a pic of its current state in the showcase thread...engine is coming out tonight

Looking good mate. you've way more patience that I do. Everytime I start a fighter it turns rat half way through.

Was laughing my ass off at Cargo...do you reckon he's not a fan of this bike??? If its toad on a racetrack its a toad bike apparently...funny that coz I thought my old VFR750 was quite good!

cargo is entitled to his opinions...he just seemed to be a bit single-minded.

plus ive heard 30+ good reviers to the 1 bad one...ill make MY mind up after finishing and riding the thing
