DT125R ARCHIVE

NEV · Guru

Really, really, really tempted

Jesse_DT · DTR Senior Member

Lovely bikes these, mental fast biggrin

Also don't overlook the ZX12R, they're cheaper to buy and only a few mph down on top speed, no real world difference ;)

Big CC racing do on the shelf turbo kits for both as well wink

slob · Guru

Do it. Then fit a turbo as your new project lol!

Love the bussa, one near me just like that.

Thats a serious investement that...
Noticed stretched swinger wasn't on that list, that'd be near the top on mine if I was running 500bhp at the wheel! haha That bike would be likely to slap you in the face on a regular basis

NEV · Guru

My lad said that too, there's a kit for £1700 quid'd sort that out

Jesse_DT · DTR Senior Member

Give these a look NEV, a wee bit cheaper and just bolt on to your existing swinger. Gives you another foot which should suffice.

Oh wow. Sorry but that is ugly. I'd rather go for an RD or an RZ classic two smoke.

Don't get me wrong, ya can't beat those specs but it's not all about that.

I do like the styling of the classic 80's bike.

Jesse_DT · DTR Senior Member

Haha what?
I'd rather have a feat of engineering than a fragile old 2 stroke.
It's like comparing a frog eyed sprite with an SRT-8 lol

NEV · Guru

That's it Caligula, you go ruin my day why don't ya, I'm going to go crying in YOC, tell all the lads in there your being horrible to me.
Aye Jesse, much cheaper those kits.

Calum122 · Guru

I don't know much about the Suzuki but I would struggle to see that that power comes with no maintenance or longevity expense! At least a two stroke is cheaper to rebuild when they do go.

Not really mate. I just knew you are on there and mentioned you because I wanted to know what the general consensus was.

I get it though. Didn't mean it as an offensive thing just something that might probe people to agree with. Cause otherwise they may just be polite and say yeah great. But I like opinions.

Jesse_DT · DTR Senior Member

You said it yourself "when they do go." The joys of 2 stroke ownership

The hayabusa, providing it's maintained well and the work was done properly, would still be more reliable. You obviously don't use the whole 500bhp everywhere you go. Thee gsx1300 engines are practically bullet proof.

+1 on this am all for 2strokes but when ya but a busa to somic like a rd. busa wins hands down on looks and performance

NEV · Guru

You could say the same about my Lexus RX400h, Cal, bit easier to run a car/bike when you get to my age, and the house you live in is yours, not the banks and no mortgage to fork out each month.

AndyYam · Guru

I've never liked them. To me they look like 2 people have been fighting over it and stretched it out. Then again I'm not exactly a giant so probably couldnt reach the bars and therfore have a biassed opinion! And all seems a bit too trying to be 'futuristic'. I'll stick to "my little pony" as the GF calls my TZR.

NEV · Guru

Marmite Andy, marmite, and to be fair I've never seen anybody under 30 riding one either.

-- Edited by NEV on Monday 24th of February 2014 02:16:11 PM

AndyYam · Guru

Yup. I'd also sooner have a TZR 3XV than an r6 or r1. And thats not just a 2 stroke 4 stroke thing. It's a style thing. Born too late! :P

Victor · Guru

Why... i can understand buying one as a collectors item to keep mint

After reading that list of mods though wtf??? You are aware of the speed limit's lol?

p.s personified mean's (in human form)

NEV · Guru

p.s personified mean's (in human form)

Aye It'll be one of the family that.

Calum122 · Guru

Just read the spec of that machine.

I don't think they look nice but WOW what a monster! 500 BHP are you sure? out of 1.3 turbo? That's incredible. But I'd have to go as far to say there is no way that thing will be more reliable than a standard well maintained RD350.

I'll do a bit of kicking around the web but that is incredible specification for a 1.3!

Calum122 · Guru

I dunno actually. The more I look at it and appreciate what sort of monster lies beneath...the more I like it.

I cannot even begin to imagine the power delivery of that bike!

NEV · Guru

I was only joking about going in the YOC forum and telling them you were being horrible, Super Califragilisticexpialidocious (new one)

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

NEV · Guru

dread123 · Moderator

Big bikes, big boats, big cars Toy, only thing I've never had, is a big chopper.

scrimsmustang · DTR Mechanic

If you want a bussa go for the pre 99 unrestricted version, its still the fastest stock production bike ever built.

NEV · Guru

That's a 2000 unrestricted one is that Scrim, it's been said that they will be the choice of collectors in years to come.

yamahayz125 · DTR Senior Member

it was only a wire if I remember correctly as the motobike mechanic at collage had a 54 plate 1 his reg read BU54 DAY and I remember talking about it and it wasn't much you had to do
