I'd better edit my profile now the XR's gone, by the sounds of it your pleased with it and not wanting a refund.

Still grinning.

Like A Kid With A New Toy = La'Kwant, a syndrome to which I have been through myself, in fact, there is even a memeber who has that very logon... http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/member.php?u=14412

I'll be doing the 42 etc for sure now.
Got to book accom quickly. I'll still be out on the Scrambler Paul, (probably ride that to the Cold Kiwi.
And Kanny said she would buy the panniers for me(b/day and xmas pressy), and I can order them now

Have a spare bed in my cabin at Taumarunui if you can handle sharing with a lowly 400 rider.

Only staying Saturday night though as am planning to head down early saturday morn

Me To Well almost, I got the R, Came with a few extras so will spend a while sorting it. Done quite a few off road ks so needs a bit of tidying up.

Sounds good. I'll take it. Now I just have to see if marks will let a filthy triumph owner join in on the fun with the Honda.

Hope you don't mind me posting on your new toy thread Brent but as it is.......

Did a bit of a partial strip down today, lubed this n that and to see what may need to be done. Swapped over to the bigger tank and put rear rack on + tried panniers for size. Fitted the standard headlight assembly, looks retro cool to me

[dino3310]

that looks like a shit load of fun

[MXNUT]

IMO if Honda had fitted E start to that model it would have been very close to being the ultimate ADV bike

Did all those extra`s come with the bike ???

How big is that tank ??

[Crisis management]

Ok Cary, I want to see it like this on sunday at woodhill, thats a fair and reasonable test of the bike!

(Looks bloody good, I'm as jealous as hell.)

True, bike starts ok but bring on a cold morning........
Yes came with bike, exhaust, racks, bags, trick bits, tank, even got a 10lt fuel cell. Tank is 16lt. Short ride yesterday gave me 15k/lt. Bone dry at the mo so going to put a lt in it then short ride to servo to see how much it really takes.
