    These things safe to ride in yet ?
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Ok I know you all have been waiting for my test ride report, so here goes (bear in mind I dont know all the tech stuff)

    2008 GSX650F
    Awesome bike, very comfortable riding position (as this is top on my list of musts)
    Great power, very torquey off the bottom, nice smooth mid range, and didnt really trouble the top end to find out.
    The compression and rebound damping in the front felt alittle spongey, and the rear spring preload will need some attention but I am sure Pauly will sort that for me

    But comparing this to the 2006 GSX750F, (of which there is still 5 new ones in NZ) for the $2000 in price difference, I have decided to go with the 2006 model.

    Just need now to sell my bike (all tho have been tempted with a good trade price) and have a 2006 model secured in Auckland to come down as soon as I say the word.

    right over top of my head.

    zero bin history on the friday night ride. Went on the one last night and even in the wet and a couple of 'younger' guys on the ride everyone was very well behaved and was a good night.

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....
