im getting the itch.... i didnt think i would... and i want it to go away....

but having ridden tinman's 10 and speaking to firey bout his new track bike im getting it...

i must resist the itch!!!!

its probably lucky i dont know what bike to buy.... dave#3 kinda talked me outta a rex, and following cath's bike on the slab home made me want a 6.... but i dunno....

just needed to vent that...

anyone want to buy a "just run in" baby ninja??

oh dear...

That wasn't necessarily my intention, I've got a soft spot for rex's. I *may* have called them an old man's bike, but I was a little drunk so it doesn't count

haha i know... u did say it would be a big bike for a 21 yr old... but i of course do look for other people's opinions on things...

I *must* have had a few drinks The rex is big for sure, but I don't believe anything's too big for anyone, especially based just on age

having seen how you ride on the weekend i reckon a 6 would hit the spot

i wish i could fit a 600 have had a lot of fun riding them in the past

im still totally keen on a rex dave its ok.... an older model 6 is appealing too... the 98 shape, dunno if thats a C model or something.... so is a FZ6S or a TRX850... ive always had the massivest crush on those....

but anywho enough about yamahahahahas

I posted a response to this in the thread which disappeared!! But here it is again summarised.

The Rex is a handful in comparison to a late model 6. I would highly recommend the 6 and would most likely still be on one if it were not for old injuries coming back to haunt me as I get older. The Rex demands some strength and aggression to ride it fast. The 6 is almost subliminal in it's reactions.

Know what you mean there, although the 99 came in better paint schemes
They are really great bikes. I miss mine.

totally expected... ive always liked the look of the REX tho, and to be honest i think something that slows me down a little might be good

when i bought the baby i knew id do a lil bit of 2 up riding, but the gf seems pretty keen so a bigger bike would also be handy for that... we could actualy go away overnight without looking crazily over-loaded with the arse end of Sienna sagging (and we cant have that!!! )

the 6 would be awesome in the twisties though

the TRX has to be one of the very best sounding bikes though

thats why i like it!!! put a nice set of staintune's on it.... and mmm in heaven

You would be totally disOWNED if you went TRX 850 they are the biggest pieces of shite going.... 2 mates had them & it put them off bikes they were that bad they may look ok but they dont handle.... that's why you never see any at the race track
BTW I would love a rex too

why not have a look at the Z 750 by the way paddo rides good alrounder
