I came back two years ago from Australia. Yeah the CBR is my mistress there. Might visit her in October haha.
Dont worry about the bike being old. I haven't had any problems with my 1989 CBR! it's 17 years old!
I haven't done the slope test before in australia (non existent), as it's not necessary.. boy were they wrong. I hate slopes in hong kong! i damn hate them. Slopes in the apartment buildings arghhhhhhhh
I dropped the R6 on the second ride in the apartment garage slope. Had to stop start on the slope. boom down i went. Not much damage only a scratch on the bike. Im thinking of going to do the slope test now
I guess like australia/canada the world is flat.

The problem for old bikes I think is for bike with small engines where you tend to rev it in the high ranger like 12-14k rpm before you shift so that's why there's problems with older bike, what rpm do you usually shift at with your CBR1000?
I don't think you should try to dar 8 in your R6 on the slope
too dangerous. I do agree that the test in HK does teach alot more compare with test in Canada where the first lesson I heard is push the bike around in a parking lot. If you know how to turn, stop, change gear they give you a license. Too easy IMO.Sorry to hear your brand new R6 have been dropped. But stratches can be fix, no problem.
And yes Canada is flat except in Vancouver where the mountains are.
Well I would settle for a R6

oh yeah, you cant adjust the height of the seat for the R6
It's 1.5inch taller than previous model. I wish my parents gave me longer legs

Both your R6 and CBR look fast even stand still, I think it's time for me to learn how to drive a bike!

You still keep it in Australia, lucky guy.
The problem for old bikes I think is for bike with small engines where you tend to rev it in the high ranger like 12-14k rpm before you shift so that's why there's problems with older bike, what rpm do you usually shift at with your CBR1000?
I don't think you should try to dar 8 in your R6 on the slope too dangerous. I do agree that the test in HK does teach alot more compare with test in Canada where the first lesson I heard is push the bike around in a parking lot. If you know how to turn, stop, change gear they give you a license. Too easy IMO.
Sorry to hear you brand new R6 have been dropped. But stratches can be fix, no problem.
And yes Canada is flat except in Vancouver where the mountains are.

the R6 is still being run in, i shift below 10k for the 1st 1000km. But that is a loooooooong way to go. I've only done 89kms.. it's been raining nearly everyday since i got it.

For the CBR250 i shifted 10k and above, i revved the living shit outta that bike
the R6 is still being run in, i shift below 10k for the 1st 1000km. But that is a loooooooong way to go. I've only done 89kms.. it's been raining nearly everyday since i got it.

When I was doing my learner's, the redline on that bike is 10k and I rev it till 9k before I shift (of course when no instructor is around)
89km wow you've driven alot than, come out for a meet next time in your bike. I am very interested
