It pootles along at the speed limit in top gear very nicely. Beautiful bike - giving it a very favourable review, but not me, no.

Hiya Big Dave,

Took one out for a full test on 18th July 2006. Be interested to see if your thoughts on it were the same as mine?? :)

Hey thanks - I'll have a sqiz after i write mine. Make a point of not reading anything but the spec sheet and the press release when doing a test.
Guarantees no unintentional plaigairism.

[The Pastor]

Oh I want it.

[mazz1972]

That is one SEXY machine.... :yes:

[andrea]

oh man now thats a beaut machine, hmm ponsonby aye notorious gay club area and hangout, so any bikes covered in sheepskin? i remember that area me and my friend had a bet to see which one would get the first phone number off some lesbo, but we both lost the bet, some really cute look'n guys, but too bad they swung the opposite way hahahaha:devil2:

[The Pastor]

And Here I Was thinking that a bandit 1200 would be my next bike <_<

What are you stepping up from Mr renegade? - this unit (like the others in its class) is for experienced hands only.

[Fub@r]

Awesome looking machine and thanks for the new desktop background (hope you dont mind) :Punk:

[Swoop]

Very nice photograph dave!
It says enough, and still entices your imagination to find out more about it.

Became my desktop wallpaper also !!!
Magic photo Dave, haven't seen as good a one like that for a long time !!!!

[Zed]

As for the pic, I can't ever recall hearing a sermon on 'the saving power of motorcycles' before, LOL. My pastor just bought himself an old 800cc cruiser (can't remember the make/model) and most of the men in my church are bike enthusiasts from way back, but there's only 3 of us who actually ride nowadays.

[Edbear]

10 out of 10 for pic no.6! That one's a classic!:first:

[Biff]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

IMO it's one of the ugliest machines ever to have been produced. Although the photo shows the bike in its best light - Darkness.

Why i put them out there at 1024 pixels mainly! I have an awesome array of screen savers on my own computer that I sometimes let scroll through for the enjoyment of it - and I enjoy sharing them.

One of these days I'll turn it all into a plug for Kiwi Rider magazine. ;-)

Get over it old bean. It's got some ordinary angles - and some gorgeous ones. The front 1/4 is quite stunning - side on it's a bit 'bitsy' for me.

But yer blackbird is hardly a 10 either.

[Zed]

But yer blackbird is hardly a 10 either.Ooooo low blow! :shutup:

[Crisis management]

Nah, I'm with Biff, it looks a bit like a Darth Vader stylist had a go at it, not quite my taste.

[Biff]

Ooooo low blow! :shutup:

Don't fret Zed. Such an opinion coming from a guy who owns an 18th century Trumpy (as oppossed to blagging rides on modern machines) doesn't phase me.

Long live individuality.

[Big Dave]

Yeah - I do really like the bike Zed, just that over the last 2 years my passion has become dual sports and naked bikes and motard styles for recrational and social riding.

It's not that big a bike either. Seat to peg height is too low for me - average size folk will be fine - it's a tad sqat for the big units. Parked next to an Aprilia or simiar - 'taint that big.

Believe in big dave. he's the truth. Sermon ends.

[Big Dave]

Long live individuality.

If we're talkin looks - long live the eye-ties.

[Big Dave]

Alien - I'm down with vader. my kinda guy. we dress similar.

[Biff]

There's a man that speaketh the truff.

Is it time to change the act?

[skelstar]

I think it looks like Waternoose from Monster Inc :)

[Biff]

Is it time to change the act?

Nah - you ride what you like mate, and don't change what you ride on my account alone. It's a free world after all.

Watch out mate - there are people out there who don't like you having your own opinion, unless it's in line with theirs.

I wasn't going to anyway :innocent:

And when I want their opinion - I'll give it.

I laffed. x 10

[Coyote]

It actually looks good in that photo
