Where: Elizabeth Street, Melbourne CBD
Woaa! After walking around in the CBD, you can't help but notice superbikers riding around and revving their powerful steeds especially when accelerating from the red light. I sort of followed their thundering exhaust sounds to Elizabeth St, and eventually found out where they are heading to. Up Elizabeth St, close to the La Trobe St intersection, you will find a number of bike shops in a row. The machines, both used and new, spill out from the shops unto the sidewalk.
Curious, I poped in to look at some Japanese makes thats really "untouchable" back in Malaysia (priced RM60K above). Not before long I stumbled into the legendary Japanese Bird of Prey, yeppp the Hayabusa GSXR 1300. I caught the 2007 model sitting unchallenged in the shop's sales floor and can't help myself getting a few pics of it and it's price tag!
Not far from this vicious bird, stood it's smaller but no lesser potent bethren the CBR 1000RR . Also a 2007 model, I can't help but click my camera's trigger. Both colors shemes bound to come to alive above 200kmh and just burn it's competition away in a blast of hot exhaust! Banzai!
Now....if the weather wasn't that unpredictable and motor license in hand, I may have traded my wallet and all the cards contained within for either one of these speed demons!
