How many km did you have to do to break this bike in, just wondering

Cheers mate, good vid

[criticmbso]

i didnt own the bike when i was getting run in. Normally around 1000-1500kms though?? thanks

Awesome vid mate, very quick pace. I have been up there many times with this good weather and over the brow at 2:40 there are lots of gravel spread across the road- I just about binned it on my MC22 so watch out! :S

[criticmbso]

Yeah the roads munted now....they have resealed basically the whole thing and with all the bad weather the roads covered in mud so we try and avoid it now and use west road instead...not as fun as twilight though. from start to finish we do this road in about 3:30 (on our 250s...we both hav 600s now)

Nice video, went there earlier today, pretty neat road. How quick are you guys going through there? Was second gear most of the time for me, haha

[criticmbso]

yeah is a pretty cool road... you can time it... have got a zx6r now soits 1st gear prety much seeing as it does bout 115kmh in that gear...

@DeeJayMiikkii yeah mate the gt650r is learner legal it's got a touch more power the the gt250r. but there is also a ducati 600 naked model not sure wat type but yeah it can be restricted as a leaner legal.

I heard that some parts of Australia are 250cc and under for learners, right? Thats how it is here (atleast it was a couple years ago when I did my learners, I think it may be a power/weight limit now). So yea, usually learners ride these 250s, the rider in the vid prob is, but me, and a lot of more experienced riders I know just love riding them because of how fun they are, even if they are slower than 600s&thou's. This bike=full lean,full throttle, knee down, no problems with grip...FUN! :D

Yer i was thinking that but i guess the VTR rider was more confident and capable of accelerating hard, if not full throttle, out of corners. But still CBR rider was good for a beginner rider. I think that they are beginners because i assume that New Zealand has similar laws to NSW, Australia.

[flamingwoodenleg]

Put it this way... The guy on the cbr should have blitzed the vtr revving it as hard as he was.

[vspec2wrx]

Its got nothing to do with how many gears it has. Its because it naked. A Yamaha Vmax is more powerful than a Busa. But it is slower on the top end. Fairings make a big difference buddy.

[vspec2wrx]

Quick question.... Which one would be better at cornering? Could a good VTR rider embarass the CBR on a mountain pass? Not sure if you've riden either although being a mechanic i'm guessing you've ridden a few bikes. Thanks for your help mate.

How fast were you going when you overtook him at the end of the video?
