I would not give up my vfr400 for any of the bikes offered.

There's no way she can keep up with a GSX-R 600 with what's on offer. This episode is missing the target by far.

@monkeyzx9 8 жыл бұрын

I don't get it....She says she wants a bigger bike than her vfr400 so she can keep up with her fella on his gsxr600, so they show her a 600cc cruiser which would get blown in to the weeds by a vfr400.

@PeterBachmayer-ProDrummer 2 жыл бұрын

Upgrading from the VFR400 only alows changing to a VFR 750 or a VFR 800 - that's what I would do.

@snakeman9902 8 жыл бұрын

Why the hell if she wants a sport bike is she being offered the above? She specifically said she wanted something to keep up with the GSXR6, and she likes sportsbikes and gets offered well monstrosities with no speed. Only the bandit had any kind of street cred and at least can be quite fast on acceleration. The other alternative was a ugly bike on stilts and a cruiser???

I suspect that this programme had a budget so small, they used whatever was volunteered by their friends who wanted their bikes on TV.

They may as well have let her choose between 2 bicycles and a bandit and it would have been just as brilliant a selection. Also did she specifically ask for at least 2 of her bike choices to be fucking hideous?

I’m sure they just drag out the closest shit heaps to the door.. ridiculous selection other than ‘possibly’ the Bandit.. And Fran, good job she’s easy on the eye as she does spout some twaddle 🙄

They should have given her a zxr600, an R1 plus the triumph trophy 600 just to mix it up a bit. Why did they give her this miss-matched selection to help her keep up with her BF's GSXR600? What were they thinking? P.S. I owned a bandit 600 so no bias, Great bike, but to keep up with a GSXR600? Nah!
