[paturoa]

With no pics or details how do we know you aren't talking about your latest raddish?

[BarBender]

Sorry folks he's just a little shy....

[Unit]

Awesome, when did this happen? And how can a bright red thing be shy? Good on you

[BarBender]

Come on big fella...out you come...

[BarBender]

See there is nothing to be afraid of...

[Unit]

Yep you cheeky buggar. Would rather see Chris on his own bike that would give me more pleasure than running it in for him, and Im still trying to get the hang of the Aprilia. I was more than happy to bring my bike up here, but it made sense (yes I know settle down) that with an 800km trip planned this weekend, I should get those kms on the ZX10. More than happy to hand it back and see the happiness on Chris' face with his new beast. Cant wait for his leg to come right completely, its poetry to watch him riding

hehehe thats a relief...cos it aint poetry watching him ride even with a good leg!!!! :dodge:

[Waylander]

Shy? Looks more angry to me.

[marty]

angry? just plain ugly i reckon

[kiwifruit]

marty, are you a prick in person too?


bike looks mean BarBender :rockon:

[beyond]

Hey Rona,

You lucky sod :)

I enjoyed my test ride on one of those immensely. Nearly bought one in black
but as you know I stuck to a new black GSX1400 which I am enjoying too.

Was sorely tempted to go the ZX1400 route, nice bike.

Must go for a squirt around the Coro loop with ya some time soon.

[Sniper]

Nice work that man

[Edbear]

angry? just plain ugly i reckon



If you have enough power, you don't need good looks...:whocares:

[jimbo]

:scooter: Nice colour mate....Red ones go faster:Punk:

[BarBender]

Red aint angry Waylander - he's about as harmless as Dr David Banner.


angry? just plain ugly i reckon
Thats what I thought of your Mrs. :dodge:

Cheers Kiwi.

Hey Paul - Your review that helped to push me this way. And yes we are due for a ride soon. I loved the 12 but once I rode the 14...it was a no contest.

[BarBender]

Nice work that man

Ta Sniper.

That about sums it up.


:scooter: Nice colour mate....Red ones go faster:Punk:

Cheers Jimbo. Hopefully not faster at the wrong times.

[N4CR]

Thanks Tris. yes you did say that all along.
Was only a matter of time...and coin...

[MD]

You're a brave man! Friends got one and I've seen it ridden in anger - rear wheel smokin sideways into turns, then spinning up on the way out. Bloody impressive. I took it for a spin and remember seeing something like 260kph...in 4th ! Effortless wheelies until the cows come home.
Take care and enjoy it. I haven't seen a red one, looks great. I think that might be a new shade of red from Kawasaki?

Thanks MD. Theres no doubt this baby will rock if I ask it to. And from time to time I will give it shit at the odd track day and drag meet. The great thing about this bike is that I dont have to be bent over with my legs tucked up under my chin to do it. I had a 12 before this and even though that was a big bike...I still felt like I was doing a yoga class while riding it. Not to mention...the kids and Mrs feel comfortable 2 up as well.

[WickedOne]

Everybody ...this is Red...
Red...this is everybody...

Good shit mate, hope you have many happy km's on her!!!!!!

[Unit]

Hows Red going? Need to see you down these ways sometime soon, just a hop for your stead. Would be good to get a pic of it beside the new 10, being both all shiny and new and everything

[RT527]

angry? just plain ugly i reckon

Hmmm you been sniffing too much jet fuel Boy!!!!!......Bike Look nice.

[BarBender]

Good shit mate, hope you have many happy km's on her!!!!!!

Thanks bro. It'll be hard to get rid of the smile on my face.

Going great Annette. Spend more time looking at it then riding it!!
I'll be in Taupo on the 9th for the MotoTT Track Day and then shooting up to Whakatane for the weekend. Will drop in on my way back to the big smoke on Sunday if you guys are around. Will txt Chris for your address details.

Sweet bro. Red is the best for those. Aprilia didn't cut it eh?

Clive-I loved the Tuono and would by one in a heartbeat.

I even 'thought' about getting it and the 14...but my wife said something along the lines of "You got a @@@%$$#nerve #$%$% even %^%$9 asking for #$%%$@ one bike you $%%^&* bla bla bla" ....:shutup:

It was the two up ability of the 14 that did it.

[terbang]

Ooooh Rona a new bike you lucky lad. Old Yella has a new playmate.. Enjoy the new toy..!

[BarBender]

:lol: I've never met you mate but I have visions of a big Island boy trying to make himself as small a target as possible when the wife goes off. Yep the Tuono aint pillion friendly at all. I'm renewing my love for 4 cyclinders at the moment. Sounds like the big ZX is just the thing for you BB.

[BarBender]

It does...but only between 5 and redline. Removeable perf goes on tonight so I can use around town and then take it off for drags and trackdays.

[Jimmy B]

[Jimmy B]

Thanks bro - Finished that street fighter of yours yet?

Not me mate, Just the got the ole X11 at the moment and nothing left to take off that, mind you I kind of like some of the stuff on NZ Streetfighter, so you just never know. Could be just an unmarked patch of new seal away..
