[Johnny]

(no wasting a weekend on it, it's never that good)
:ayyy:


Look forward to hearing the stories of dissapointment, as with every year :lmao:

[Captain]

Besides, are there any new models to preview? Last year at least there was the new R1, and the RC8 comes to mind ... anything else?

[SIX36]

I would save your money unless u want some custom ear plugs....

[Underground]

You guys are missing the point, there should be a thread about it, a pre meet, pre meet, a designation of uniforms (draggins, textile jackets) bikes should be washed and scrubbed.
You should be milling around entrance / exit points @ homebush, there should be rim stickers, and you should all be collecting as many promotional magazines and stickers as possible.
What about manning a stall? where is this exuberant motorcycle spirit that is injected into our rectum once we purchase a bike?

disappointing.

[Foghorn]

I'm going Friday........playing Mr Mum this week while the wife is sunning herself up at the Hyatt Coolum on the Sunshine Coast........in between sunning herself and drinking champagne she's a attending a Medical Conference!!

[motoplast]

Jen, Bundy & I will be there all weekend. We have our own Tex & Bundy stand, doing our bit for the Prostate Cancer Foundation and "Survive the Ride".
We have tarted up the ol' 'Busa and given it a refit and new look, Bundy likes it!!. We are unvieling it on stage today at 1100.
We set up the stand tonight and a big thanks to Vinnie & Lucy Lu for helping us do the set up.
So if u visit the show come and say hello and give Bundy a pat.
C ya there.

Cheers,
Tex & Bundy:)

[ozducati]

Thanks guys, but we will have more and more products to suit Japanese bikes as well as the Euro stuff.. have made some good contacts last week so as soon as we can get some stock here will keep you all posted

[Greggy-68]

went today.........Boring..... no chicks, no VFR, was very subdued.

Other than Tex and Bundy, wasnt worth going.


Ohhhhh, BTW, the lemonade out the front ROCKS.....

[Foghorn]

Tend to agree with Greggy went out today and introduced myself to Ozducati (has some nice carbon fibre add on's) and Leonie from CSS. Also ran into few track day regulars.
No Aprilla stand.......WTF
Lemonade was darn refreshing

[Cedric]

I agree, nothing really worthy of note this year..

[Captain]

Was the Beemer at least there? I've seen it heaps already, just wondering ...

never mind, just read your post in the S1000RR thread :ayyy:

[Foghorn]

Yeah it was mate, in a very insipid grey colour, they had it right next to a fully blinged out HP2 $38,000 as opposed to $26,000

You sound as though you are suprised ? :dohsmiley: :lmao::lmao:

[RIPPERTON]

Only one thing worth lookin at there

Z E R O

very sensible electric bikes even if not at the fullness of their design evolution.
Talked to the head guy and they are planning to use the same brushless motor as I am..............R E G E N.... .... ....:storm:

are they viable though? Some of them I saw, the batteries look very big and cumbersome..

[jasonbw]

What's worse is I heard if you crash one on a public road you not only get neg driving but also charge for assult'n battery.

[LAW]

I heard the last bloke who forgot to plug his in overnight was let off without charge? :dohsmiley:

There's positives and negatives about electric bikes.

http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp93/t-manone/Thread-Direction.jpg

Back on topic, I'll probably try and sneak in over the weekend. how late are they open?

HP2 Sport is $39016 to be exact :P

I can't wait to get my hands on that S1000RR. Thats the bike that Miles Davis has the Eastern Creek a few months ago...

[RIPPERTON]

are they viable though? Some of them I saw, the batteries look very big and cumbersome..

If the world was full of electric bikes and there was the advent of piston engine bikes upon us wouldnt you laugh your guts out at the absurd complexity of combustion engines.

what do you mean the batteries look big and cumbersome ??????
thats the most vague thing Ive ever heard.
The batteries are actually small and they do in fact need to be bigger.
The road reg version and so much dead space in the frame area I was wondering who designed the thing. Definitely was not a designer.

[Devilish]

The road reg version and so much dead space in the frame area I was wondering who designed the thing. Definitely was not a designer.

Thats the thing, obviously the people designing have not had enough money to develope their own frames... if they did there would be no dead space... one day someone will design a frame for battery's or design battery's to be curved like the frames to fill the space... until then it's just putting one product in another, it will never match, but when both designed together, they will fit :)


I've love an electric bikeconcept, accept in traffic... imagine how quiet they will be , cars will never know where you are.... specially in sydney traffic....

next time your in traffic and you see a Ford Territory, listen to how much noise it makes..........total silence.
Car drivers never know where you are not because your quiet but because they have their heads shoved up their holes

Rippys right, combustion engines are an incredibly inefficient concept.

Might go Saturday then.....:lmao:







:stirthepot:

Im going Sunday:mod_smilie_rockwoot

[Captain]

I'm told there is one new bike on show: Fisher MRX


The Fischer MRX, the new all-US designed and built sports bike, will have its debut at the Sydney Motorcycle Show, for the lucky Aussies who’ll get to see it and some of the other new models that also appeared at the 2009 EICMA show last week.

The Fischer MRX is a liquid-cooled sports bike with a single-piece Grand Prix chassis (the world’s first according to the company), with 80 hp and 52 Nm of torque. Other features are:

• All-American made aluminum die-cast chassis components
• Injection molded parts including the multi-function central cold ram air intake ducts (assembled in the USA)
• Roto-molded (in the USA) fuel cells (R version has optional see-through fuel cell).
• Available hand-laid carbon fiber and fiberglass body components.
(Developed and fitted in the USA by former USA aerospace industry senior engineers)
• V-cast multi-function subframes (Designed and manufactured in the USA).

[Foghorn]

Julian, it's there alright in TD setup........what's the old expression "Looks as cheap as a two bob watch"

[xcabbi]

Fischer MRX = glorified Hyosung (same engine, and it appears the same front suspension as well).

Is it the NA version they are displaying or the proposed supercharged version?

[Greggy-68]

6-7K premium over the hyosung. Looks good, but tooooo much. You would think they would do a recast engine cover.......

Front Susp was different, as were brakes, why would you spend that much when for the same money you buy 1 1 year old CBR or something, still under warranty.

[Johnny]

Oh god.. wouldnt piss on that if it was on fire...

[Hammo]

A bit underwhelmed by the show, although the ladies appeared to be of a high standard. ;-)

[number46]

any photo's anyone?

[2ndclasscitizen]

It was supposed to have Ohlins and Brembo kit wasn't it?

[Captain]

....... although the ladies appeared to be of a high standard. ;-)

We're so simple, really ....

i've only done the two shows and after the first i thought i'de give it another go as the first was shit and one year on might change for the better, but last year was just as bad so i want go again, absolute waste of money.

[tazkenny]

That was pure shite. It's a bit sad that motorcycle fas are seriously underwhelmed by a motorbike show. Wish I had my camera to snap the guy in the fully sick Ducati leathers (looked new) standing about at the Ducati stand.

[Bigdog]

Here are some pics I snapped at the show:

Nice pics John. Thank god for the Beemers.

Is the stand on Stoners bike the wrong way round? :confused1:

[Johnny]

Cheers Bigdog :ayyy:

[Bigdog]

The white CBR1000RR looks awesome in the flesh. It has a really sweet pearl coat.

[Desmo]

Yep, it was a bit piss weak hardly worth the effort and entry fee:storm:

[Devilish]

i worked there tonight... saw a bunch of people i know... don't think I even looked at any bikes.... if i didn't get in for free through work, i wouldn't have gone...

[Hammo]

Actually come to think of it, I was impressed to see all the bmws, especially the megamoto. Looks like a fun bike.

[DanFX]

was alrite for a laugh, too many flamers there

[RIPPERTON]

was alrite for a laugh, too many flamers there

whats a flamer ?

[Captain]

A laugh?

Thanks for the pics; that 1098R is a good looking machine, tempting, tempting ...

[Falco]

Wow, the BMW RR looks wicked......makes the RC8 look kind'a dated.

[motoplast]

That was pure shite. It's a bit sad that motorcycle fas are seriously underwhelmed by a motorbike show. Wish I had my camera to snap the guy in the fully sick Ducati leathers (looked new) standing about at the Ducati stand.


Ha,ha, Yeah a few of the stall holders were havin' a good laugh, apparently he is not short of a quid and owns a Bayliss Replica 1198, a Desmosedici and a few other Ducati's, so he probaly owns a new set of leathers for each Ducati.:lmao:

If anyone from here comes to the show today, rock over to our stand (#243) "Tex & Bundy"..Prostate Cancer Foundation & "Survive the Ride" we have got 4 hot promo' girls today, so come and get a pic' with them:ayyy:.

Cheers

Came out on Friday with my boy and got a pic with both of you. Was good to finally see you in person and my boy still can't stop talking about Bundy.

Was good to see the support that people are so willing to give to you guys and the charities you support.:ayyy:

New paint scheme looks unreal. Hope to see it out on the road some time soon.

[heretic]

Went to the show, and it was crap. Should have saving my cash. There was nothing there I hadnt seen before.
At least last year there were new models. Any way

[ozducati]

a few pics of our stand, met a few RATS guys, thanks for stopping and saying hello...

[ozducati]

to be honest i never even took any notice of xsportz.. never heard of them.. am not sure where the Sato pipe came from, they have a few sponsors..

[Captain]
