My new bike

[kiwifruit]

Picked up my new wheels today from AFC motorcycles in palmy:D
First off, go and spend your money at AFC everyone, http://www.afc.co.nz/ great service, thanks Brendan for the deal on the bike, thanks busted for the sweet deal on the helmet (you sure that aint wholesale?).
AFC sticker is staying on the bike, i normally remove such things.....

The bike is alot smaller than my k2gsxr. feels like a 600 to sit on.
Feels lighter too.

Its got a fair amount of power, far to much for me, but with a penis as small as mine i need all the help i can get.
Pulls viciously compared to the gsxr.
Dont really know if its faster, sure feels faster.

Turns!
yes it turns.
changes direction like a dream. Look where you wana go and you are there.

I think i will fit a damper :o
a little scarey at high speed, theres no way I can ride it as fast as the gsxr on the road, which is prolly a good thing really.
in saying that, you've gotta love how it tells you exactlly whats going on.
We'll see what shaun can do, then a damper me thinks.

did i mention it has power?
fuckin crazy, love it.

i dont really know what to say
the thing is a SUPERbike, completely wasted on me.
I feel kinda like a spoiled brat :D

cant wait to see how it goes (read: how i go on it) around the track!

ive already removed the stickers (ninja & zx10r)
need (want) to do something about the exhaust can asap :)

[Racey Rider]

Looking good there Mr Fruit.

Was it the ride on the GPZ500 that helped you see the light, or the KR150!

[onearmedbandit]

Very nice bro, very nice indeed. Was thinking to myself just yesterday what other litre bike I could see myself buying and that model ZX10 was my first thought. I don't think I would though, a bit too mental!

[Ralph]

Very sweet ride Kiwi, good move on removing that ninja sticker. Whats up with that sticker anyway? It seems like Kawasaki just put it every bike they make.
Just rambling now....Nice bike!

[emaN]

duuuuuuude!!!

she's sweeeeet lookin'!!! Look forward to seeing you get around Tpo on her!!

kawa-green (what else?!) bling on it's way to you!

[davereid]

Can you send me the ninja sticker. I want to stick it on my lawnmower. Get the lawn done quicker then see.

[Colapop]

That's a real purty beasty you got there. Make sure you ride well.

[MD]

Welcome to the world of Kawasaki. Oh..it's green too! I see someone has already dealt to the indicators. Strange they left the original can on? Get a damper, those bikes really need one.

[Black Bandit]

Congrats man - lurvly! What a mental bike - hope you have fun.

[bobsmith]

Great bike! I do agree that the guys at AFC are great!!! I always take my bike to them for service and for my other needs. The drolling marks on your fairing would be from me drolling over it thursday when I was there... :buggerd:

[Zed]

Picked up my new wheels today...I'm happy for ya Al, you remind me of the times i've bought a new bike and been really blown away with it's performance. Those ZX-10's have always been viscious apparently, but you sound like you've got your thinking sussed toward it.

So you did get a green machine, looks in great nick, the new pipe will give it that finishing look.

Enjoy enjoy enjoy! :banana:

It just needs two of them now, one under the other. Make it look like a Two stroke! :love:

something terribly illigal id say:cool:
there is always the option of repacking the thing

[Reno]

Nice bike kiwi

Have you ever looked at Muzzy exhaust?

One of the salesmen at Mt Eden just put one of these on, apparently it sounds awesome! Not sure if it will bolt on to an older model though.

[bobsmith]

Yesterday must of been the day for it..

Hehe, indeed just signed a purchase agreement for a cbr250r yesterday...

[Motoracer]

Good shit man. Will look forward to checking it out in Taupo. Started wheelies on it yet? :D

[Mental Trousers]

awww you bastard. Nice.

[iwilde]

Great looking bike! Looking at upgrading early next year. What made you go from the K2 to the ZX? What do you think the pro's and con's of each are? Once again, great looking bike!

[BigTex]

Looks gorgeous man! congrats :2thumbsup

[The_Dover]

Yesterday must of been the day for it..

cheers man :)
yeah, i have looked at the muzzy zorsts, i like them, but the racefit i like more



Great looking bike! Looking at upgrading early next year. What made you go from the K2 to the ZX? What do you think the pro's and con's of each are? Once again, great looking bike!
thanks mate, yeah its farkin hot eh ;)
i decided to go for the 04 zx10 as its considered to be the insaine choice.
thought it was time to have a change too.

pros of the zx:
*looks
*lighter, feels like a 600
*more vicious power delivery, its insaine, really makes you feel alive, pulls like nothing else i have ever fathomed
*scares the shit outa me
*turns FAST


"cons" of the zx:
*more vicious power delivery, its insaine, really makes you feel alive
*its "harder" to ride fast on bumpy roads (i havent got a damper, yet)
*its really keen to kill me
these are really pros too.....

pros of the k2:
*easy to ride fast
*smooth
*predictable
*didnt try and kill me

"cons" of the k2:
*after feeling the power of the zx it seems a little tame
*looks
*didnt try and kill me

at the end of the day its a personal thing.
a few times riding the zx home i thought "what have i done", the thing is nuts, its like learning to ride again! I feel more comfortable on it now, its going to take some getting used to. the gsxr was just so easy to ride fast, even on bumpy shitty roads.
both are AMAZING bikes,
what a day and age to be riding bikes, they are wicked machines, i know im not worthy (but i bought them anyway :cool: )

if you havent riden a 04 zx10 and you get the chance, do it, its an experience :D

i still cant believe i bought it!
its like a dream :beer:

[yob_ymmit]

Even though I might have need for its organ enlarging abilities, I'm afraid I just dont have big enough balls to ride one of those yet!

But man. It is very very hot. Congrats mate, may it grow into a wonderful relationship! (I'm pretty sure you will score a few menage trois with the help of it - You, your pillion, and the kwaka, cant go wrong.)

[DMNTD]

Mate!!!! Congrad's on your purchase,know you'll enjoy. :2thumbsup
