That is the date stamp, the numbers/letters before the "2514" relate to the tyre DOT tyre identification number

Bike wise im looking at getting a Kawasaki Ninja 300. 10 years ago all I wanted was a GSXR600.... but age has helped me decide to keep going fast/racing to a track and not a road. Asphalt has never been good to me, im much more of a dirt guy. Bike is so I can stop putting Km's on my ute.

Driving down Leach highway this arvo with dirt bike on back, and turned off at Albany Highway... noticed a black GT on the right hand side as I pulled off, and said GT waved at me. unsure if its a person on here or just someone who liked my set-up....

Fastest accelerating? fairly certain the hayabusa is the highest speed production bike, but not sure if it would be the fastest accelerating.

Up for debate, but as far as mass produced, bog standard bikes go, suzuki Hayabusa is about the quickest.

ZX14 has tried to knock it off and if you look for it, youll find press that supports that.

Then theres the new supercharged Kawasaki H3 and BMW S1000R. But from a standing start, the wheelbase is against them.

Theres some fkn quick K1200 BMW's around too.

When it comes to go fast stuff, the hayabusa is the chevy small block of the bike world. Theres a million things out there for them.

Theyre all speed limited to 186mph so bog stock top speed is irrellevant.

Kyle, you should also look at LAMS 650's.

My young bloke has Vickis ninja 650L now and its a great bike. Good size and torquey.

You can sneakily derestrict them when you want more but the 300 will only ever go like a 300.

IMO 600 4cyl sports in bikes are gutless unless you rev the nuts off them and you probably already know theyre not LAMS legal.

Yeah I've had a look at the LAMS list, there is a 630 Ducati I'm keen on but not paying $10k+ for a lams bike. After researching a couple of the nicer bikes I've settled on the 300. It's a twin, which the KTM I likes isn't, it's at the pointy end of the power to weight limit of the R-E class, I can get a real nice one for $4-5k. And it's practical. The MX bike is for the fun

I too would be looking at 600cc plus LAMS bikes. Unless you are 5 foot and weigh 50kg you will get over a 250/300 soon.

One of my favorites is the Speed Triple 660 :spoton:

My brother had the Ducati, was a nice bike, you can take a restrictor out too for a little extra power.
(illegal obviously).

The Ninja 300 is nice enough. I got to ride a mates one home for him after he bought it. Feels similar to the ninja 250, but you don't get that lag from the carby motor.
