Picked her up yesterday, its a little different to a Kawasaki ZXR 14, alot better some would argue, some would take a different view point but at the end of the day its always been a dream bike for me and now she is in my garage!! and we are very happy.
All I need is for the fog to piss off so I can go for a ride!
Oh the bike needs no introduction, piccies below

Very nice. :)
Got sick of waiting for the ZRX14 I take it?
No longer on the books for your next bike then?
Must be a few dealers missing out on sales on the 14's cos of how long they are taking to come out.

CAN I CONVINCE YOU TO GET THE MICHELINS , THE REASON I GOT THOSE DIABLO CORSAS ON MY SHELF IS THERE INSTABILITY , HARD TO BEAT MICHELIN AT THE MOMENT , ALSO SHOULDNT DUCATIS HAVE BRIDGESTONES AT THE MOMENT .
BTW I PUT A BID ON A 999 ABOUT A MONTH AGO BUT DONT TELL MY SUZUKI FRIENDS
The Mrs won't want to go on the back of that one will she?
Picked her up yesterday, its a little different to a Kawasaki ZXR 14
A little different! That's the understatement of the week.
Hope you bring it to Taupo next weekend Quasi. I think the most lean I've ever carried through a corner was on a 999. Fantastic feeling.
Well done I think it's a better choice for our roads than the ZX14. Just where can anyone enjoy letting rip on one of them?

Nice one Bret. You must have gone straight back to the shop after we left.
Quasievil
14th May 2006, 11:18
Oooooh quick trip around town, got the tyre pressures right and she is loverly, now for a honk out to Raglan!!
Yeah thinking about that, I think it would be rude not to bring it to the track day, think I might be a bit slow on her till I get it soughted and used to it.

It's a standard Diablo, right? Not the Corsa? Maybe they wanted to have a grippy, quick to warm front so that there's less chance of losing the rear...?
I actually quite like the Diablos, they give really good feel, but I took them off my bike because they take forever to warm up.
Not that I want to start a tyre debate here...
Awesome bike mate :niceone:
What year is it?

Mrs Quasi was the main driver for me getting one, I hadnt thought to much about one, always wanted one but never went that "deep" into bike comittments, but hey what the hell

You're a bastard. May your Desmodronic valves spew out onto some remote road.
EDIT: Yes, I am a playa hata. That paves the way for me to follow you towards a Duke too - we were always nearly bike twins.

14th May 2006, 15:38
Ive just done about 100kms on it on mostly wet roads, Im impressed.
things that immediately stand out from what Im used to.
1/ The bike feels absolutely planted into and right through the corners.
2/ The power is amazing, it fucken hauls, it feels like each BOOM gives you ten times the WHAMO! if that makes sence.
3/ Nigh on impossible to ride it at 50 kmph in town, need to select a low gear like 1st, second gets you up and away
4/ Ergonomics bloody brilliant, lots of room, my elbows dont get even close to my knees, the seat is not soft but strangely I didnt get a sore botty. Not overly to much weight on my arms, its actually bloody comfy
I now need some termo exhausts!!
See ya at the track, I will be the slow guy on the red bike:laugh:
Congrets on the new bike! You do like RED don't you :)

DONT FORGET THE GENUINE DUCATI/OAKLEY GLASSES TO MATCH THE BIKE
Holy crap! That's a fairly big departure from the ZX14 isn't it? Looks pretty tasty! Which version of the 999 is it?
PS: don't become an anti-rice burner snob now :msn-wink:

Just took the bike into VTNZ to get the plates swapped over so the 999 is blessed with QUASI on the back.
I spotted the QUASiMOTO car driven by Mrs Quasi and thought I would be a smart prick, I came up behind her in first (slow bit of road) and pulled out and Nailed it, well fuck me the front went up rather fastly, if ya know how I ride I prefer the front down, but it was kinda fun though. This is actually the first litre bike Ive ever owned...... think I might have to pull me head in and get used to the awesome power of this thing

HE IS RIGHT QUASI , THAT 999 WOULDNT SUCK A DRAFT OF A GSXR750 AND MY BIKE IS FASTER 2 UP WHICH I PROVED BUT THE REASON YOU BOUGHT IT WAS FOR THE STYLE AND FEEL NOT THE POWER SURELY , ID STILL GET ONE EVEN THOU I THINK THEIR SLOW

mmmm Maybe I guess its down to what you do to it, I think the 999 is quite capable of going faster than a gsx should you throw enough stuff at it, WSB as an example.
Besides I dont ride super fast on any public road, not for long anyway, Im Mr 120kmph tops usually, I dont get my kicks going blindly fast, I get my kicks from handling, style, general feel, and cornering performance.
Having riden the 999 for a few hundred kms I can tell you categorically it aint by any means a slow bike. You need to remember also that it delivers power differently to a 4 cylinder bike as well, it has masses of torque.
And I dont want to start a Suzuki Vs Ducati battle but sorry I cant get the same passion for a gsx as I can for a 999, kinda like comparing a toyota supra to a ferrari marenello, ok the worked Supra might be quicker but its a toyota (I beat Im going to get heaps for that fuck it bring it on)
Took your advise Winja, getting Michellins on Friday cheers dude.

THE 999S IN BSB OR WSB HAVE THROW AWAY ENGINES, EVEN THE CASES ARE THROWN AFTER A FEW RACES , WHEREAS THE JAP BIKES ARE STREETABLE AFTER A SEASON WITH JUST A CAM CHANGE YOUR BIKE WILL NEVER COMPETE WITH A JAP BIKE FOR POWER I THINK YOULL FIND YOUR BIKE HAS AN ADVANTAGE OVER THE JAP 4S IN THE RAIN OR ON ROADS WITH SHIT GRIP WHICH IS A BIG ADVANTAGE IN REAL LIFE, BUT THERES NO NEED TO DEFEND YOUR CHOICE OF BIKE QUASI ITS A GREAT BIKE THAT LOOKS BETTER THAN ANYTHING JAPANESE AND IT WILL HOLD ITS VALUE , ID HAVE EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE AND IM A JAPPA FAN

15th May 2006, 19:49
Still like the 851 / 888 / 916 style better . Would like to see how one of these would go been Kaned the living shit out of it to an inch of its life for 2 weeks nonstop & doing the same to a GSXR / ZX10 & see what happens . Having owned 2 Ducatis & know how they react to been trashed , the more you hurt them the fast you tune them . Nice looking dude but if a Twin was going to be my ride it would be an RSVR Factory have seen one from here crashed raced & hurt every day since it was brought , still going hard ! Looks like shit but still rocking the Naki roads . My opinion tho based on been there done that Shit !

Mate, nice bike . . . very nice. You just gotta love the big V-Twins, specially the eye-ties!
Nice toy quasi!
I'm sure i'll see you hooning around town on it at some stage :-)
Well done Quasi. The 999s was my first choice when getting back into bikes but they didn't have any in stock and the new ones are over priced in NZ. I settled for my CBR but will upgrade it in 07 to perhaps a 999s or MV F4.
That is without doubt, the best vtwin in the world. What year is it?
