Hey dezz that queer colour that Charles' bike came in looks real different under certain lights. It's a weird pearlescent blue. In the day it's metallic aqua...under unnatural light it's dark blue...and depending on angle, up close, it looks purple lol. Definitely nabbed himself a bargain either way, that slip on is worth ~$800 alone.

Yeah queer color or not he got an awesome price for the year/kms.. The guy he bought it off must've realized he was hetrosexual after all, and therefore had to sell.

Funny you mention it though, a guy at work was telling me this morning that one of the other apprentices is selling his blue ninja 250 for $3500... It's an 09 model and didn't ask how many kms, but he said it's been dropped, so not ideal...especially come re-sale time for me

Any proper photos of the crotch rockets from the meet last night?

Sorry man...bike was pretty dirty so didn't feel like taking photos.

Bike looks good in person, color looks heaps better than pics show

Still looks too similar to the 2009/2010 model...it's the slowest changing bike in terms of looks lol. Can't see myself opting for an update anytime soon.

Why do people expect to pay the same as USA for cars? Granted we pay too much but it should cost more here simple supply and demand just not 5 times as much lol

Yer but mine looks similar to 04-08. The biggest change for R1 was in 09, which I'm not a huge fan of. Even then it's only really the headlight assembly + slight change to front fairings lookswise. The rest of the bike looks basically the same!

Hanging for a bike manufacturer to do some radical changes to their bikes, like Kwaka did with the new Ninja.

Not expecting the same, but also not expecting nearly twice the price either. May not get under 40k for the base model, and with Subaru only bringing in the top spec model that will be close to a WRX.

Isn't Toyota starting the 86 at mid 30s?

Completely agree we pay too much should only be 10% more or so look @ lambo aventador is 900k here something like 190k of tax!

Sucks to be rich in this country

    • So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.   
    • Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?
    • Bit of a dump of ones I saw on my trip. I also have a heap from daikoko but that’s technically not  on the street 
    • i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.  
    • Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
