Just purchased a DRZ400E, sight unseen. Pick up this week. I hope it is black.

After a month or more with the lad overseas i picked her up. Stoked it is black. Even more stoked it's already got a polisport headlight, protaper bars; though I'll be needing a riser to give me my own setup. Fmf q4 full pipe, barkbusters, and full chassis/engine slider. All i need is a case saver to replace ...... plastic one and cut off most of the mudflap. $500 it cost me. Bargain.

Ready to roll.

Now you can tell whose bike this is.

xx CURVE xx · May 27, 2016

Yamaha TT-R 50 atm...

aaronl · Sep 11, 2016

I have 3, well 2 and a scooter

Kx450 2015 for dirt track

Cbr600rr 2009, never had rego, only a race bike. Can ride club sport and modern super sport on it as well, they hardly have changed since 2007

And the beastly 50cc aerox. Was a yamaha pit bike from the 2011 Aussie motogp. I reckon it's the scoot Lorenzo got a ride back on from medics with some finger missing

Aaron - is that Nepean?

Say howdy to Tommy White if he is still around there (sidecars)

Spent a few days at Nepean but more days at the motards and road race days with Tommy and many others ..........

aaronl · Sep 11, 2016

Yes at Nepean.

Will do, racing next Sunday

BarryMachine · Sep 11, 2016

Ha Nepean!

Its hardly changed from over 40 years ago.

Though back then it was an oiled track ....... imagine the water tanker spurting thick black old sump oil ..... if it was freshly done you would be riding through puddles of it lolol.

Great memories.

A good close friends folks ran west wyalong and had a trucking business, they just dumped the rigs oil at the track.

He still has his hagon frame slider, blue and white, hand pin striping etc.

BarryMachine · Sep 11, 2016

Is it West Wyalong or Mildura runs a vintage weekend every year?

I was getting a new set of tyres on my bike a few years ago and when I walked into the workshop there was an imaculate Hagon JAP !!!
I audibly gasped when i saw it and the guy just smiled and said "you know what that is dont you?" ..... he was going to a vintage meeting with it that weekend ..... cant remember if it was West Wyalong or Mildura ...... great to see folk keeping such great old bikes.

<div align="right<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
only in some parts. there are actually some very killer twisties in the US, in my area as well as others. We do have roads like "Deals Gap" which is i believe 318 curves in 11 miles or something to that effect, and canyons in california, etc. good stuff!

and as for the exhaust, the whole reason i like it is cause it resembles the 2 stroke GP500 style exhausts that i've always loved!

I rode the Dragon on my 2004 Honda VFR in 2012. It was Amazing: like being on a Rollercoaster. I am def planning on going back.

My current ride is a K9 GSXR 750, Ive done some upgrades to it (listed below) including a custom fuel map with figures on the dyno showing 140whp. I use it for riding in the mountains and for track days at local race tracks. its a pretty fun bike, nimble enough to throw around with enough power to chase bigger bikes around a track.

Akrapovic full race exhaust system
K&N filter
Bazaar Zfi TC QS
quick shifter
traction control system
braided brake lines
Pirelli Supercosa SP tyres

Richy56 · Sep 22, 2016

Here is my rgv250. I did a few races on it a few years ago, it's a track bike now and daytime mot

Its motor is pretty standard apart from racing pistons, bigger jets, air filter, drilled air box and I run premix.

Has some nice bits, ebc discs and hel lines, arrow system, tyga fairings and subframe, talon sprockets, rk chain, andreani fork dampers, gsxr 600 rear shock.

Smells beauty and goes like stink

Thanks heaps mate.

Yeah it sure makes a lot of noise, I wear earplugs when i ride it. It does that really cool pop when you change gears with the quick shifter at full beans which always makes me smile.

My son just got back from the Middle East, bought this, and him and a friend rode from Colorado Springs across country and back in a week. While it is 100% totally different from what im used to, it was fun to ride. He grew up on sport bikes but after joining SOF, his sense of self preservation moved him towards a different scene. I guess if your job gives you an adrenaline rush, you dont have to look for it in your hobby.

Man does that bring back memories. Before my son could ride, i used to ride him like that on my XR600R through rugged enduro trails. He would burst out giggling every time we wheelied over a log or through a mud pit. Camping and riding is one of the best things a man can do with his kids, they remember it forever and there are so many teachable moments derived from both

Maybe the best overall production track bike ever for novice and intermediate riders.. Best of both worlds, handles like a 600 with a bunch more power

The Gap was our personal playground for years, then the internet ruined it. We still ride it a couple times a week, but you either have to get there at sun up and get a few passes in before the cops show up and the Harley procession starts, or after 6pm when they go home. Probably make a run through tonight.There are tons of great roads in the region that get a lot less publicity than the Dragon and thats just fine with us.

Awesome pickup! He did that kind of a ride on an Iron 883? Holy god, props to him on that since that thing was built for bar-hopping more than anything. Tell him that if he decides to stroke it out to a 1200cc engine, it'll actually be cheaper in the long run than it would have been had he bought a 1200cc Sporty. I can definitely see the perspective shift those experiences give.

What do you ride ?
