| Member Info: |
I´m 25 year-old student from Finland, I´m studying at the University of applied sciences in Lahti. I´ve been riding for 10 years, starting with RS125, then GPZ500. After that I had ZX-6R 636a, ZX-6R 636c, and finally I´ve found my satisfaction via Aprilia Mille
Update: got tired of worrying about the electrical failures . ..So got a ZX-10R ..handles like a tourer, but wheelies like a supermoto! |

1996 Aprilia RS 125
Photos: 6
Purchased: Feb 1999
Sold: Apr 2001
Info: It was suprisingly powerful machine.
Rotax 122 engine with higher compression than a stock one had. ( 15:1 ). I had Arrow exhaust and larger main jet. Top speed was slightly over 200km/h.
I remember this one time the police had to stop me 3 times in one hour!......... :) But luckily they didn´t suspend my licence at that time...........

1996 Kawasaki GPZ 500
Photos: 2
Purchased: Mar 2001
Sold: Sep 2002
Info: This was a dissapointment. Although it had more power and torgue than the bike before (rs125), the top speed was lower. Slightly below 200km/h. And I wrecked it at my own yard, accidentally of course. That was the only time when it happened to make a wheelie....Then I learned that the front wheel must touch the ground in order to steer :(

Afterwards (08/2008): As years pass by and other bikes come&go, this bike has surely gained respect in

2005 Kawasaki ZX-6R
Photos: 6
Purchased: Jan 2006
Info: My first 1st hand bike.. Really looking forward to next summer season. Driving season starts in May and lasts in the end of August.
Afterwards: Got dissapointed to the power curve...It got lot of top-end power, but the lack of torgue at low & mid-range really made me angry.. The 636a gave more "practical" power, and that''s what counts.
