It'll be back there this afternoon.
But dont forget what I said. Dont use it as a guide for handling because it's arse at the moment. The tyres are munted and the suspension is probably set up for a midget. It's soft and bouncy.
I can assure you they handle better than anything you've owned so dont worry about that.
The bike is in good enough condition that i'd have it. Very pretty, engine sounds like it should and it goes well.

Good!

And I know who i'll be sending a PM to when/if I need to sort it out!

Perhaps I could use the point on the tyres to get them to lower it $500, worth a shot.

Cheers

Yeah no prob with setting up suspension.

Definatly have a go about the tyres. I would recommend M3's.

Common problem mine did that, except i only had to wait a few days for my cable. Now i just lube it up after every time i wash it or ride in the wet

Nice one. You only live once after all and there are so many nice bikes out there to experience. Enjoy.

Well We'll see. Having issues with AMI.

Throwing their toys out of the cot since they think Triumphs are "prestige" bikes and think it will get stolen in 5mins

I'm the only one allowed to ride on paper atm.

Yes, one of those "foreign" makes. Somehow Japers aren't considered "foreign".

No bull. I know someone that was asked is his motorcycle "foreign" by the insurance company. They meant non Japanese. WTF?

**vifferman** · 23rd May 2009, 18:25

Congratulations on the New Toy, Sir.

Now change insurance companies - try KiwiBike for a start. AMI sucks.

**Indiana_Jones** · 23rd May 2009, 18:29

Thanks guys.

AMI were pretty good when fixing my CBR250 when I got driven into, I guess anything over 250cc and they don't wanna know it.

Will look into my options on Monday

I was joking about riding it Indy, I just got a semi when I saw what you got and couldn't help myself...

Crack cool bike , enjoy.

Good boy!

Really nice example of one. Seems to have been well looked after. Dont fart around on those tyres for too long, the rear is knackered so take care in the wet and cold. As mentioned, i'd recommend M3's for it. Dont put powers on it whatever you do. They're a sharp handling bike (once i put the suspension where it should be) and powers have a shit profile on them. The M3's have a nice progressive profile to them.

Yep, will replace the back tyre ASAP, as the front still has some life left in her for the moment.
