ReconRat Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Casper said she's fine. I'm not so sure the bike is too happy yet. I would fix it up, but it might not be looking that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Nekkid and I are always riding together. We've found the 919 and VFR to be pretty evenly matched. He's got a little advantage in ease of turn in and I've got . . . well a big windscreen lolI'd like to get a naked and a viffer - I'm jealous.

ReconRat Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Nekkid and I are always riding together. We've found the 919 and VFR to be pretty evenly matched. He's got a little advantage in ease of turn in and I've got . . . well a big windscreen lolI just checked the sportrider numbers for the VFR, and I'm surprised. I would have thought the 919 a bunch faster, but it's only a little faster. Only experience I can directly compare to, is that it holds it's own with an RC51. I can close it up quick out of the turns, but the RC51 will pull away at higher rpms. This would be with both bikes flat out WOT. The 919 does seem to have a top end that is reached rather quickly. Approx 145mph. Never had the guts yet to look down to check real close. Just really quick peeks at the speedo. I mean I almost got blown off a Kawasaki at 140+ once, and I don't intend to repeat that stunt. It's a great story though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hey Recon,I was wondering who you were after sunday. Thanks a ton for hanging back with me in the early twisties, Im the 99 black superhawk, that was a total dog playing it overly safe. I appreciated that man.A few of us grabbed some sushi lastnight, Mrbret, his wife(sorry forget your name), Wendi, and myself, after a little run to IP to get some gear. Shes doing much better.Bike is totalled, she had the insurance paperwork filled out and done, just waiting on check/title etc. Gave her $$ for her gear too so thats a good day! We pulled off her license plate and battery so the bike is waiting on pickup now. I know Mr.Brett has found a few bikes already and wendi called on one too. So hopefully she ll be up and riding in a week/two. Not to mention the weather looks crappy next week early so give some time to look.Anyone know any good deals/bikes out there might wanna let Mr.Brett, or someone know.

I like those. Besides, they are easy to find used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
