Would be quicker in the twisties Too right, I passed two blokes on 1098's over the weekend on my 600. I don't think younger blokes with thou's (as they were in this case) enjoy being passed by a "little 600" |

I wouldn't be either I must say that 600's are geared better and would have all the power right there and then. lol yeah, them on their sexy Italian superbike, and me on my $9000 jap 600. yeah the only issue with following 1000's I find is the punch on the exit of corners that they have, but if I maintain a good speed and decent rpm in corners it keeps the gap they pull out to a minimum. |

yes some blokes enjoy the cat and mouse game on there italian made bikes and there are always the others who absolutly hate it with a passion the joys of a light and nibble bike where you dont have to watch the snap in the throttle on the exits of corners without getting highsighted lol |

Go Mt Mee and keep going til the T intersection then turn left and keep following it til you hit Maleny. What is the big ass block in then centre of your triple tree's? |

Yeah peachester to maleny then kenilworth and back. Don't usually do obi obi cause the road across the top of the range to get home is fucking painful. Yeah Mt Mee is a good ride, woodford to the cafe' on top etc. The block is a steering dampener |

Ive got a 05 zx636 (green and black underbelly) and i havent been up peachester for awhile but there are still roadworks at Mt Mee makes it so much slower lol At least you got the model with the pipe under the tail,can lean it more without thinking your going to scrape the pipe. You got braided brake lines? |

Peachester is more or less a place to warm the tyres these days. It's got a lane closed (been that way for atleast a year). And there's new drains put in across the road everywhere, so it's bumpy. But still not THAT bad. |
