Yeah except its, my zzr 250 is faster than a scooter, and someone else saying they're both death traps, and that his zx7r is faster than their zzr250, however, you're right on track

still put two fiftys in the same basket, infact, i reckon they could be more dangerous, seeing they can do the speed limit, however, when you get into a "situation" you aint got nothing to get out of it. brakes arent great, power at that speed is not good enough...

only thing that makes scooters more dangerous is the suspension and brakes. They're only set up for midgets. thats why greg likes them

OK now I take offence to this as well. Not a hope in hell am I upgrading my Kermie because the law says I can. I travel at the speed limit NEVER Speed just ask Mick and Leo. How ever have gotten myself out of a couple of sticky situations I think it just goes to the rider themself not the bike they ride. We can all say we haven't seen people on bigger bikes Fark up in the same possie

Nothing to do with the rider, i'm simply saying, on a 250 (gpx/zzr) at 100-110 kmph, you aint got much to help you if something does happen. atleast with a bigger bike, you can roll on even in top and still have the midrange to help you.

I'm simply saying that someone who rides a 250, complaining about how dangerous scooters are (which you are not one of them). Should think about it, appart from the fact that the 250 can get to the speed limit, they're just as dangerous as a scooter!!

No difference being on a scooter almost maxed out at 60 on a freeway and getting cut off, and not having anything to save your ass, than being on a 250 and getting cut off at 100-110kmph and having nothing to save your ass appart from your own riding abilities.

It's a big case of the pot calling the kettle black. I just wanted to put my stirring spoon in and get a reaction.

al ur a bitch

stick up for me not him

OK now your PISSING me off too The Law says right now we HAVE TO ride a 250 does this make them less a bike Rather be on something like Kermie and be still learning than on a bike I know I cannot handle and perhaps not take only myself out but other riders.

a zzr has alot more that 110 uner its belt dick head !

yeah i've already said it does, however, it's how quick it gets there.

u know what else , there is about 3000 of the frickin things in tsv and there are even GROWN MEN riding them! if ya did that in tassie u would get GAY bASHED !

lets add a new twist to this...

My old scooter would do 100km's on 2.5L of fuel, GPX on highway does 4L/100km insurance is higher (much much higher) and servicing is more exxy.

We all ride, doesnt matter what form of 2 wheels it is its still 2 bloody wheels...and its still better than having to drive 4, even if it is only a 50cc, 250cc or whatever. Pushbikes are slow (although faster than a 50cc scooter at times) and annoying but no one complains about them (too often).

there just as bloody anoying as scooters ! but at least they get there own lane on the road :O ( and they dont even pay rego :O)

Well, the law also suggests that you should be skilled enough when you get off your restrictions to ride a bigger bike, if you dont feel skilled enough to ride a bigger bike, then don't. It's not a case of saying 250's are less of a bike, however, they are...

Add another 350+ cc's and they're a bike. ...

Don't kid yourself. Thats like saying if I rode a honda, it'd be okay?

*Tell him he's jokin'*

This whole thread just sux. I really do not care what anyone rides and who the hell is on the road. I am happy with Kermie and that's all I give a fark about. Whom ever else I have to share the road with I don't care as long as they respect my road space.
