Finally... The pictures

[R6_kid]

As many of you know i have been bitching and moaning about getting my full and getting a 'big' bike... well i picked it up on Thursday and as you can guess it hasnt managed to stay in the garage yet! :whocares:

Been taking it 'easy' as im sitting my full tomorrow and it wont be insured until i have the piece of paper allowing me to legally enter the world of rampant hooliganism!

Been having awesome fun on it even at 'tame' speeds and have been working down the one inch chicken strips that it came with (mmmmm chicken) :laugh:

Well anyway as it was such a nice day i went down to Long Bay and snapped some pics... didnt quite get what i was after but they still came out alright.

[ducatilover]

go hard bro. :headbang: fucken sexy bike :love: can i have a ride? :dodge:

[R6_kid]

cheers, thanks, er... NO :spudwave:

[marty]

very nice. i like the polished/chrome pipe/muffler set up.

hey that front tyre though just doesn't look right. are you sure the direction arrow is going the right way? it looks as though it would force water to the centre of the tyre, instead of out to the sides.

[N4CR]

Sweet bike man... don't need to hit the porn sites tonight thankyou!

Free on tuesday :D?... just don't let me and the bike out of your site :whistle:

[Storm]

I like your bike- a lot :D
Well done mate, wish I was you

[ducatilover]

cheers, thanks, er... NO :spudwave:
dammit :crybaby: is that an aftermarket screen?? :niceone:

[R6_kid]

yeh it is aftermarket, gonna look at getting something differenct tho. Also need to buy another bend for the pipe so i can have it sitting lower when i want to take pillions.

As for the tyre... not too sure. Its a metzeller so i would imagine it works alright :niceone:

[HDTboy]

That looks almost homosexual (in a good way). Do you think you're going to be able to beat me with that thing?

[R6_kid]

That looks almost homosexual. Do you think you're going to be able to beat me with that thing?

lol, well as long as you dont care about ditching the pirate then probably not! When are you stepping up? ... give me some time, i need to think of excuses :whistle:

[HDTboy]

Does it look like I care if I damage the pirate bike?
400 as soon as i can pay for it. I probably should get around to getting my restricted but I need a tuit

[stevedee]

Um I aint no expert but I do think think the tyre could be mounted the wrong way. Donno but ya might wont to check, you will only notice in the wet. Any body else have an opinion? Hey but by the way the bike is awsewome mate I love it and I am sure you do to. Enjoy.

spd:-)

Last time i checked your tyres it looked like you were running a poultry farm :kick: :Pokey: :banana: :lol: :blip: :2thumbsup :2guns:
lol went a bit far then but oh well!

Gonna get it out during the week when its insured and try to wear them down, i'd put money down to say there will still be some left tho.


Zed - i wont exactly be flying on the GN but i will test its handling before/after the test.. might go see scenic drive, just dont tell sarge!

[WRT]

Hey Gareth, only got a brief glimpse of it at cycle treads on sat, but thats a nice looking bike. Sounded good too . . .

[MSTRS]

...... I need a tuit
Just make sure it's a round one tho :mellow:
Gareth - that bike is loverly but it's toooo clean. Check the direction arrow on the sidewall of that front tyre.

[cowboyz]

I looked at one of these but couldn't fund it so settled for the gsx. very very nice

[R6_kid]

was chatting to Zapf and he had the same tyre on one of his old bikes (metzeller MZ1? sportecs) and he said that its right so i'll stop worrying for the mean time.

I've been told its pretty much the best rubber for the bike so im not complaining. :niceone:

Thanks for all the good remarks. I've managed to piss over a few 'boy racers' gotta love that they actually think they have a chance... good thing i back off before going to much over the speed limit or i might really embarrass them :whistle:

[Firefight]

pure class :niceone:

A little biased methinks :dodge: :dodge:

Yip i'm running M1's and they are a bloody good road tyre in the dry or wet. Plenty of grip and good feedback. So will we see you out there this weekend??? :devil2:

[chickenfunkstar]

Very nice.
I've always had a bit of a thing for the R6 / R1. Enjoy.

[Brett]

saw it on sat, thought of thiefing it! :devil2: :niceone:

[Cibby]

cheers, thanks, er... NO :spudwave:

[SlowHand]

*dodgy voice* hhhuuhh, where do you live..... hhhuh.... where's your bike parked....hhhnhh, I like your hair... hhuh, what's your mum doing..hh

hehe. Nice bike!

[Toast]

Ahhh...first big bike :) The memories...every time you take it out that wealth of power at your control makes you feel like the Daddy of them all...as the peasants meander around you in their pitiful, economical vehicles...you think how most of them will never know the kind of acceleration you could experience any freakin' time you want...

...and two weeks later you want a thou' :P Until you ride your current bike in the rain :)

[R6_kid]

took it out for a quick blat out through SH16 to Kaukapakapa for a pie. Was doing around 160 past a ute and came up to one of those one way bridges so slowed to 80ish, second car to come around the corner was a cop :sweatdrop

really enjoying the bike now, so much better to be able to stay in one gear and always have power when you want it.... sure gets windy on those straights :whistle:

Might be up for a ride on the weekend. Was gonna take my friend out for a cruise as pillion on sunday so not sure if i will join a group on a ride or just go out on my own.

[R6_kid]

...and two weeks later you want a thou' :P

i've only had it for 4 days and im kinda feeling that way already :niceone:

im sure the 600 will be fun for a long time yet tho. Wait til im on the edge of the tyres then i'll worry about getting a bike with more power/wider tyres.

Well can ya do wheelies properly yet????

[R6_kid]

to be honest i havent been trying. Had the front of the ground but not intentionally since the first day riding. After its insured i'll be pushing it more and trying some silly stuff like that :niceone:

[Coyote]

That's an awesome looking machine :2thumbsup

Yeah...much fun to be had trying to stop the flattening of the rear tyre when you can get away from the commute.

If you're up for a ride...I'm always keen for Old North/ SH16 or something...this weekend especially as Uni's just finished. You might wanna stick by yourself for a bit though aye...just 'til you get used it...other silly buggers might bring out your competitive side before you're used to it.
