View Full Version : My new commuter
Goodbye congestion, hello freedom (and soggy undies at work). It arrived today and will be picked up tomorrow just in time for winter. Hopefully the weather will be good this weekend so I can post a review but from what I've heard, they're like a pit bull.

Nice, very nice. Are you waiting for the Porsche to sell so you can afford some decent wet weather gear and avoid the soggy undie syndrome?
Looks impressive.
Are you still keeping the repsol?
Yip, it's a collectors item and in 10 years it'll be worth nothing.

Got the wet weathers sorted already. Also got a wardrobe at work with a supply of clean, dry undies (and some dirty magazines)

Mate, that is a fkin WEAPON. So very very nice . . . I'm still a little undecided about the headlight, but overall that is one mean looking sonofabitch.
Nice choice, good to see something a little out of the ordinary finding its way onto our streets.
I'm still a little undecided about the headlight.
We'll is it Italian so it's bound to fall off anyway. Yeah, it looks like it's crying or something but then I thought if it was round it'd be a bit plain. it might grow on me.
It does kinda fit with the rest of the bike tho. Get used to it too, the Italians arent as bad as everyone makes out (well, the aprilia has done me proud so far).
That is a seriously cool looking bike you've got there tho, Finn. A very nice choice, Guru is impressed.
The last bike I remember seeing just out of it's crate like that was an MV Senna outside Haldanes some years back...both impressive!
Very nice Aaron!. Might pop over on Sunday if your gonna be home?

Well you know where to come to run her in mate...yes I can ride sedately,I need to to save my boots :slap:

If it wasn't for the immaculate build quality you'd think it came out of Hyosung and Suzuki's South Korean factory.

Very nice, Aaron!
Are you aware that they are very thirsty beasties? Matt T in Wellytown had/has one, and had it rechipped because it sucked so much benzina. But who the hell cares, when you've got something that beautiful. :niceone:

Apparently they wanted it to look like the Porsche ones, which look kinda like Dali's melting clock. Matt T's one had to be replaced - the reflector crapped out.

Finn you knob, that's gotta be the shittiest choice of a commuter bike ever...those Pirelli Supercorsas will be arse in the wet, the electrics will ignite (good for cold days though) in the wet, you've got no fairing protection in the wet, it'll be choking itself at low speeds and overheating...but good on ya for buyin the bike you want and not giving a shit :niceone: Can't wait 'til I've got the dough to get me an Aprillia RSV Factory to commute on :D With Akrapovic pipes it should be able to set off most car alarms in my apartment and office car parks :)

HA! They're not Super Corsas. They're Super Corsa Pros. As for the rest of it you're probably right, but I'm tough.

Good on ya Finny, I'll help translate the Italish manual if you like.
Now you'll be able to keep up in the tight stuf, I was fouling plugs on Sunday waiting for ya.
See folks, this is what happens when you work hard, vote ACT and have a sneaky accountant.
So you weren't pulling our legs awhile ago about getting a top shelf bike to commute on! Choice. I guess it was down to that or the 50cc Yammy Jog scoot. So close a decision, you must have flipped a coin.
The 910 will no doubt be easier to wheelie than your Repsol. Bring your Repsol south one day and see how much easier they wheelie closer to Antartica- it's a gravitational pull thingy nearer the Pole.

I hear your pain.
My girlfriends dog chewed my Armani wallet last week, that was depressing enough.
What is it with suits though, jeans, t-shirt and jandals are the "true kiwi businessman" atire.
Checkout the BP in Coro Township, the Maori fella who owns/runs the place comes out and pumps yah' Gas in barefeet, stubbies and a BP T-shirt (The old stripped blue and green ones).
EDIT: Walk through the PWC Tower Lobby in jeans/sneakers. You get more looks.

thats not a used bike listing..
Finn said he wanted the most expensive bike iin the store ( which is the MV Agusta F4 at $38995), but the riding position was a bit too aggressive, so i got him on the Brutale R and charged him $42995 for it ,...
problem solved..

You should of sold him a Honda with 10 years worth of servicing, that would of equated to $42,995
