95 model? Is that when it was complied

[Perry]

how are they in comparison to a cbr250 in your opinion?

Difference you will notice straight away will be the cbr250 feels quicker due to its lighter and Rev's quicker. At first I thought the cbr will be better due to its smaller & lighter for a small person like myself but after a few weeks riding the zx2 I find its easier to control due to its weight don't know if that makes sense to you guys though.

Maybe he is referring to the compliance date, it should have a build date though which is completely separate. You havnt paid for it yet have you?

Aye guys watch out as well, because the Nigerian Scammers are at it again, and now they are even selling cbr & rvfs on some websites

[Spoon DA9R]

lol one of my friend is selling his duke and got an email from them hahaha

[rpm boy]

lol it was on bike sales, and i talked to him and he was as aussie as you can be so doubtful on the nigerian scam front, even so theres vfr's on car sales advertised as 97 models, so i dont know what tere on about but ill check it out when im up there.
as for the Lams thing, if you take the bike to a bike engineer and get him to put a sleve in it and retard it abit he can dyno it and sign off that it is legit and you can take it to the RTA and they will lams approve it. sound plausable ?

[Spoon DA9R]

sounds good...can i do that to a 08 Ninja 6? haha

[rpm boy]

Well my friend whose in sydney riders said there were 2 guys that had cbr600's and were lams approved... anything over 600ish cc is too big and you cant retard the engine and if u do it just blows up, so he is going to ask them exactly what they did

[Spoon DA9R]

oic..yeah i was thinking if they do that to the engine to restrict it..it may end up damaging the engine in the long run...

[rpm boy]

all depends, they do it to the hyosung 650 and its fine, but i wouldnt try it on nething bigger
