Here She Is...............

[V Twin Raver]

My new beast & what a beast it is................especially in the wet which was my 3 hour plus introduction to her. All I have to do now is learn to ride it.........what a mission this turns out to be. Some track days are in the pipeline for me I think.

A special thanks to Firefight who on Saturday was most patient with me on my 1st trip through SH22 on it in what has to be described as crappy conditions. Dave, your hospitable approach on Saturday was yet another reminder of why I missed being away from the bike thing for a couple of months. I am really looking forward to getting out there again with all you guys & gals.

Definately the 1000. Has larger fairings to the 600. Very good choice, looks bloody stunning :niceone:

[vifferman]

If that handles anything like the 600, it must be a fantastic machine. Congratulations, Sir! :niceone:

Thanks, yes I must come up with something new - although just because I have this bike, does not mean I have lost my passion for that V-Twin melody.

Mel you got a awesome bike there look after her !!!

I know what you mean. I thought I preferred the V4 sound, but every time I hear a V-twin go past, I get this sort of longing feeling.
Even though the VFR's a much better bike, I miss my V-twin :cry:

[Biff]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Very nice.
Well done :2thumbsup

[2_SL0]

Tasty, very tasty. :ride:

[Zed]

My new beast & what a beast it isGo Honda!!! WTG Mal, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

See you out on the road sometime soon. :Punk:

[Waylander]

So that'swho you are. Was wondering since no one told me a online handle for you on saturday.

Very nice bike indeed. Have to say though it being in a garage with two Yamahas and two Kawasakis it certainly didn't try and hide in the corner.:whistle:

[Two Smoker]

Nice bike Mal!!! Cant wait to see it blast past me.... Im riding a v-twin at the moment, and ive got to say the sound is very addictive.. But i miss the refined engine and handling of me 4 cylinder 600...

[aff-man]

sexy...... very sexy

well done that man :Punk: :Punk:

[JohnBoy]

Sharp, good choice! :ride:

[Zed]

Now you can join the Litre Club like me :rofl:His last bike was a litre - Honda VTR1000

Dave, you have a bloody good memory - I forgot about that particular false nuetral but the one you witnessed was not the last one I had experienced on that bike??!!


Go Honda!!! WTG Mal, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

See you out on the road sometime soon. :Punk:

Yeah I will be out there again in a couple of weeks - am away overseas for work as of Saturday so maybe the weekend after. Also; I have to come up with a way to legally rid myself of that hideous slab of plastic for the rear No. Plate to secure to. Its not like the VTR where the tail lamp assembly retained the No. Plate lamp - these have a seperate lamp as part of the slab of plastic. I have seen one where it was completely chopped and the no. plate was secured to the rear hugger - looked okay but it was illegal (amazing what you can get away with on WOF when you work IN the bike shop!!). Anyway, I am still considering my options.

[Marmoot]

swap with my SP1? :whistle:

[justsomeguy]

Very nice bike...... we were all betting you had a R1, until you showed up on that........like they say on that ute ad..........BBEEEUUTIFUL MATE!!:2thumbsup

[sAsLEX]

check out the litre crews 1000rr for inspiration on where to put your plate, one red one is right up in front of the rear wheel, not hard to wire a white LED to shine on it
