I went to the Perth Bike & Scooter show yesterday. It was very good!

Here’s one of the most expensive bikes ive ever seen!

Only 185 grands worth!

MV Agusta. They usually average about 30 grand a bike.

Inasane! I cant understand how all the mods could warrent another 150K on top of an already very expensive bike!

A couple Super Charged bikes.

The Harley has the charger under the fake fuel tank.

The real fuel tank on the Harley V-rod is under the seat.

The chargers were very well installed. Looked factory.

They would have some ball tearing Power!!

Some insane Choppers!

How’s the rear tire!! I wonder how it would handle?

Nice engine!

My next bike is going to be either of these 2 I think…......

First the KTM Adventure 990.

Its a bit on the expensive side. In the end it would probly cost 23K! Bit too much I think.

I’d like it for a tourer. Plus it has ABS which is very good!

But its a bit on the bulky side.

I do like the off road ability, but who would take a huge bike & expensive bike like that off road! A millionaire I guess.

Plus I dont like the look of the big 21 inch front wheel. I like the super moto look better.

Before the show I had my heart set on this one. But now I think I’d go for the Duke.

This is the one I think I’ll get…...
The Ducati Multistrada!

Its Beautiful!

It comes with good panniers for touring too.

1000cc, Im sure it goes like a mutha fucka. Well I’ll find out later in the week when I demo ride one.

One thing it doesnt have is ABS brakes…. Damn it.

But it does have the super moto look with the smaller 17 inch rims!

Plus its no where near as bulky as the KTM & its a couple grand cheaper too.

these are all nice bikes

This is my Dads new bike! The 08 Kawasaki GTR1400. Its a fucken Beauty!! & an ausome tourer too!

He should have it next month. They had to order it. Cause he didnt want a Black one, Wanted Silver. & the barsteds didnt have one.

Black plastics plus the black paint is just too black. A siver paint would break it up more & look better.

The first photo is of his old 03 Kwasaaki GTR1000. & with my old XR440 in the background.

& here’s Ducati’s new the death machine! The Hypermotard!

Well this lil bike is 1100cc!!! FUCK YEA!!

1100 L-twin motard! Fark! This is going to be fun to ride!! I’ll take that baby for a boot later on in the week with the Strada!

Its about the same price as the Strada, but ive already got a Motard. But mines only 625cc single. Not an insane killer like that one. Mine is still very fun & an ausome bike but. (Mine’s an 05 KTM LC4 640 SuperMoto)

KTM in general….....

I love their abstract designs.

Very angular & futuristic.

This is the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure. About 35K worth!

Its in direct competition to the KTM Adventure 990. A bloody huge off road tourer.

My Dad told me about an article he read about these bikes.

Two aussie blokes wanted to go on a big bike adventure riding off road in some parts around Australia.

So they both decided to buy one of these BMW’s each. Pretty expensive!

But they did it, they set of on their adventure.

But the bikes were too big! They fell off a few times. Then more. & Kept coming off until they did not care anymore. They just wanted to go home.

Buy the time they got back, they had fallen off the bikes so many times that the bikes were written off!

These were brand new Beemer’s with low km’s, but were that bashed up. They were still ridable but everything on them was either bent, dented scratched or broken.

STUFF THAT!

Like I said before, the only person who could afford to take these big bikes off road is a multi millionare. Or a factory team racer.

The only bikes that are good for off road are the nimble cheaper motoX bikes, under 12K. It still bad coming off these, but it wont do much damage cuase they are so nimble. Plus the plastics are easily replaceable.

The chances of comming off these big off roader is way too high & too expensive!

Looked like a great show…

Some really good looking bikes at the show…

I like the new angular look of KTM…

Did you get any pics of the new Suzuki’s or Buell?

Actually, that’s the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure. It’s pretty much the same as the R 1200 GS, only a bit more expensive stocked with additional hardware. Even though the Aussies had it rough, these bike is made to get you anywhere fast.

They took a couple of them to China, and drove though the country. When they came to a small village in the middle of nowhere, and stopped to talk to the locals. A bunch of kids came over to talk, but got shit scared when the people talked english. They’d never heard somebody speak any other language than mandarin before. That’s how remote it was.

Dont quote me on this but im sure Ewan MacGregor and Charlie Boorman used the BMW GS 1200 when they traveled across Mongolia and Russia…

As far as I could see the bike took a hammering but kept on going…

Yes thats correct.

It is a VERY good bike! The BMW. But I just dont like the idea of spending that much money on a off roader that is going to get trashed.

But the point of them is that they are bullet proof. They will keep going & going. A bit of damage here & there wont hurt them.

But it will hurt their resale value!
