    Top yokes could be had from Aussie I suppose ?
    It's either that or put it in the a lounge.
    Just give it to me. You know it'll get ridden right that way.

    Nonsense. It's been 15 years since I wrote off a road bike.

    There was a black one on trade me a year or so back. Looked like a lot of fun, just didn't like the naked style headlight. The conclusion drawn is always that it has been crashed and you couldn't afford to fix it. All right if you're keeping it though

    I'm a bit shocked how much later model GSXR1000 plummet in $ - low km examples are a bargain just waiting for personalising.
    Nice, Yes I think I'll get a few more years out of her with the old superbike stance.Always preferred riding that way.

    Hey, maybe I should put you in the 'Will' ? A few have hinted at wanting my beast.

    Yes ABM, that's the brand I had in mind. Got a little Acerbi twin spot headlight I used to run on a bandit a few years ago.

    I've narrowed my growing up bike down to one of these two or a street triple, having taken out both the triple and gsr, can anyone offer a comparison on the MT-09 please? I'm having trouble finding one.

    Plus I'm a bit short so I have trouble with anything taller than the triple. Which to be fair is almost too tall as well.

    Seat height is around 815mm. Not too tall, but also seems a narrow bike so you get to use more of your leg length, IYKWIM.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Depends what you call local. If its local to you, wrong island.
    Last Yamaha dealer I knew of was Lower Hutt.

    There's 3 plus a demonstrator at Yamaha Moorooka...but you might find it a little far.
