| Hey all.... I'm an avid superbike rider. I ride daily to work and enjoy my weekend twisties/track session. Was just wondering how is the superbike scene in Dubai. Cheers. |

| You would get klled riding a bike to work here. Even small cars are not advisable. Lots of weekend activities though |
| gtmash |
Come on, dude. A small car can be managed if you just stay out of the fast lane. Bikes, well, those courier guys are roadkill. :twisted: |

| I should be in Dubai soo too and would be happy to join you for any weekend rides. Im planning on buying a 02 R1 or a ZX7R when im there :wink: |
| beaujarle |
Great!!! I plan to get an R6..or even a '04 ZX636. Currently, riding a '02 ZX636,,,its enuf for me incl. of track days. Keep in touch, matey. 8) |

great to have found some riding company already ! Let me know if you find some good deals on bikes when you get to dubai |
| Lara_CH_73 |
If there is any great deal on a GSXR 750 last model I COME AND TAKE IT !!!! (i've just tried it and it's amazing how easy to ride and great engine too - more nervous than a Honda CBR 600...) :D |
| KeithL |
There are so many of the 05 and 06 models Gixxers for sale in the UK but still expensive. Isnt it true about there being a speed restriction on bikes in Switzerland Lara ?? |
| Lara_CH_73 |
speed restriction on bikes ? well if i look at the specification of mine, it's an 599 cm3, 84 kW and I dont think there is a restriction on it (only if you are a young driver aged under 25) as I am old enough, no restriction for me :wink: Not sure if you were also asking for speed limitation on roads, here on the highway it's 120 km/h (impossible to respect it !!! once i've tried at 215 km/h - very badddddd lol) - in town it's 50 km/h (even harder to not be faster)... |
| beaujarle |
| Here in Malaysia, speed limit on the highway is 120 km/h...but if the road is clear.....THE SKY THE LIMIT!!!! :twisted: I've done 230 on my 636....but again, how long can you ride on that speed?? |
| mutt |
| Just bought myself a Honda SP1 so i will let you know what its like in a couple of weeks |
| KeithL |
congratulations !...fab bike except for a rather low fuel average... but that doesnt matter in dubai does it ?? I hope you're fitting some nice Twin Brother exhausts on that beauty |

| I am a lawyer who lives in Italy and I love motorcycles and races. Now I ave got a beautiful Triumph speed triple 955, and sometimes I have session on track. I am surprised that in Dubai there are no important motorcycles events, as Quatar or Bahrain, although in U.A.E. money don't miss. Bye! Nicoḷ |

| For beaujarle: Find me A Petronas FP1 superbike for sale! Thank you. :lol: Nicoḷ. |

| nicop74 |
| More than 6 monthes ago, I asked to Petronas the avaliabitlity of FP1. They told me that FP1 is avaliable for about Euros 90.000. The distributor is in Malaysia, but no sale. :cry: BYe. Nicoḷ |

Hey Nicop!!! We did have races last month at the dubai autodrome!!! Where are u currently dubai?? Well if you are in Dubai maybe we could catch a ride sometime!!!! |
| KeithL |
where abouts are you based DD and what bike are you riding >>? |
| devilsdiciple |
| Springs and a 600RR stock lot!!! |
| KeithL |
Thats great, I;ve been looking at a couple of 1000RR's in the papers these days but havent managed to find anything right |
| devilsdiciple |
| G8...Have you tried out Motorcycle City, Raceworld?? Motorcycle City I believe last week had quite a few bike for sale. |
| nicop74 |
| I am sorry but currently I am not in Dubai or U.A.E., I live and work in Italy, in a town Savona close to Genoa. My bike is a Speed triple (Triumph) the Tom Cruise's one in "Mission Impossible" movie. Any way I think that is strange that U.a.e. sponsors don't help any team in moto gp or world superbike championship. Bye. nicoḷ- |

| Hey all. Im just a temporary visitor with 8 days left here in Sharjah currently and im starting to feel that there's a limit to things to do. So, I was wondering a little about rentingt a superbike maybe, and about the rules for doing so as I am only 19 (but I do have license for motorbike in Sweden) and if theres a suggestion of prices. Thanks in advance |
