My Old Ek9 vs. Kawasaki Ninja down the backroads.


think some folk on here need to lay off jumping to conclusions and jumping in at the deep end . he stated it aint him drivin and even if it was then thats up to him where and when he drives like that . because everyone on here drives like a saint thats why they bought there 9 of course instead of 1ltr corsa or sumit . at the end of the day he posted a video for us to see not to have a go at him .


you have pm sharkey long time no speak buddy .
 
nice video :nice:
' whoever ' that was driving is very good and your b-roads are better than our main roads , over here its risky doing 50mph on a b-road !!

Seriously, why do people think that everyone with a fast car has to drive like the normal roads are a track even when there is other traffic around? Maybe you don't have the responsability and self control to behave when you can potentially hurt or even kill other road users that did NOT choose to be in your little race, but others like me can.

I don't care who the real driver of the car is. It's a nice movie to hear the sound of the car. What I think about it for the rest, I have already said.
 
first off thats not a backroad

secondly your not even driving fast

well done you passed a bike doing about 70mph,he let you....he also blew past you like you were in reverse to firmly put you in your place:D
 
the gear shifting of the driver is woefull

maybe he should learn to drive before driving an ek9

what a wolly
 
i agree with ''Fin''. Come to Ireland and we'll show you backroads! this isn't a backroad, it is what we call in Ireland a National Secondary Road, one step down from a National Primary Road. Also i don't think this guy deserves the grief he's getting, especially from fellow EK9 owner's. everyone knows how much fun they are and everyones going to give them a lash just like he did. whether he was actually driving or not has no bearing. just voicing my opinion! Peace!

I'd probably crash a bike pretty quickly let alone destroy anything with it lol :-S. Defo gotta have some iron testes to blast it down a country road on a bike, one mistake and its game over!

Tbh Driver 'X' is speeding = the feds; but I could see no 'dodgy' moments or near misses or anyhting like that. If youve never overtaken a car on a clear b road then why drive an EK9? My officer mate says traffic regularly use youtube to prosecute in UK tho so b careful :lock:
 
Well if you can get over the "social indignity" of the video ...

I hope you enjoyed the sound of the twin-loop, really why I posted it in the first place.

Wasnt meant to be anything to do with the driving, the quality of the bike rider, to discuss the conditions of Scottish b-roads, to debate whether bikes or ek9s are faster or anything else.

Thanks for all the comments.

Could you hear it in your car? A while ago I drove along with a Del Sol VTI (B16), decat and Mugen TL catback...couldn't really hear it in the car. Isn't it the filter you're hearing :D

You could really hear it dude. Sounded awesome especially on V-Tec. It sounded so different to anything else ive ever heard on the street. Really couldnt believe the sound off of it the first time it went past me after I sold it.

Had the added advantage that on long journeys it was really easy on the ears unless you were ragging the arse out of it.
 
what exhaust is on this ek9?

apologies, seen it's a mugen twinloop now!! sorry!
 
love the video, reminds me of the craic i have roastin boys on the back roads in my 9!!
cant beat the banter! :D
 
lol...always an interesting argument when people post up vids like this..and its always the same comments.lol.
we all so it now and again so i don suppose we can really say much...but in all honestly its a bit pointless as the bike could eat you for breakfast over and over again if he wanted to. its like burning off a shitbox in your 9...whats the point in wasting the petrol!

Who says its me ... just says its my car.

However, I do tend to agree thats its irrisponsible but we all do daft things when we're young. As im sure this driver was. :D

Who lets someone else drive their car like that?
I would certainly not let any one in my car first of all and 2nd, if they started driving like that id tell them to cop the fcuk on.

Thats boy racer siht!! and this forum is not for boy racers

Sad and dangerous if you ask me

i disagree with the "any rider" part, im pretty dodgy on a bike with gears... id stick to a scooter or better yet a push bike lol

true enough tho, all these people sayin this that n the other as if they never gun it down a back road or over take... try pullin the other leg lol:lol:
