Hey nasigoreng
I go to motor vehicle crashes for a living.
Are you sure you wanna motorbike?

I just sold my 1996 ZX6R which was in good condition for $1800. Was on ebay for 2 days!

Your going to struggle to find anything reasonable for that cash.

Keep your eye out for a TTR600. Great bike, undervalued. Apart from that you're only other options will be a scooter.

Wow!! Thats cheap for a ZX6R, why so cheap??

83 suzuki gsx 750 lic plus 3/4 of same bike un/lic $ 2000

I've had a kawasaki GPZ900 for 23 years...you know the one Lou Reed sings about...."I go up through the mountains feeling warm inside.....I love that GPzee so much I could kiss her"....bikes are awesome...two rules to stay alive....ride with the thought that everyone else is trying to KILL YOU and sorry Nasi...never use them as commuters

I get your point shark biscuit.I like risk taking behaviour,I've even done some,
but with bikes it's never the rider. It's the other dude! ....

That's what they say, but in truth it's always the rider.

Either they created the situation in the first place by riding in a way inconsistent with the rest of the traffic flow (accelerating too hard, riding too fast, weaving in an out of the traffic) or they were not careful enough to handle the mistakes other drivers make.

These accidents are a small percentage (of licenced riders) and yes, they were in the wrong for not riding within their limits/conditions etc. A can only talk locally, but the biggest cause of accidents (bitumen roads) is gravel. Normally, it's left hand corners/twists where cars/trucks slowly deposit it on the road. It's like hitting ice and takes years of experience to recover from a gravel slip. These accidents are very nasty.

Up to a few years ago we had a lot of return riders having accidents. Guys 40, 50 odd with a full licence. In their younger days, they were riding 30 BHP or less bikes. They have a two decade break and then throw their leg over a 160+ BHP machine with no rider training. An accident waiting to happen.

'Unriders'. People with no licence, no rego, no safety ethos, no rider training. These guys are an accident waiting to happen. There are quite a few accidents around my area by these guys.

I'll admit, I'm not angel on the road. After 22 years of riding licenced, I'm still here :). Rider training has made that possible, not chance.
