this here is my nu baby.
i was speachless after my first 5 hour ride (from hastings to pauanui) on it!
unbelievable. riding position, breaks etc is mint. after that i rode it everyday.including to work (where i got a super hot asse commuting home).

i even blew off surfing perfect west coast 2-4ft glassy conditions to go for a ride instead :gob:

did i mention I'm in love with the helicopter sound :love: and the clutch rattle :love: . in love.:love:

cheers to kittyhawk for shooting the pic on the ride the other day....

i think lots of people think they're broken cause it sounds so mad!
when the clutch is out and the bike is idleing in neutral it sort of sounds normal (like a quiet helicopter) with a faint rattle that's different from the engine. then when you pull the clutch in the sound changes entirely there's a higher pictch rattley noise but it's sort of got a smoothness to it, but it's WAAY different to the near-silent transitions of a wet clutch. when your riding along you don't hear anything unusual till you pull the clutch in to change gear and for that split second when the clutch lever is in the insane highpitch swirly rattle emerges from the clutch cover and then dissapears when you select the next gear and the clutch is out. it's absolutely a turn on:love: :love: i actually don't think i've quite described it right..you sort of have to hear it. the clutch itselt still feels smooth to change gear, just it's got this nuts sound

yeah actually you're brave leaving any car where i work once it's after 5.00! the bike won't be coming wit me too often for that reason... but really the moral of the story for me is to always leave work before 2.30 :)

Damn fine looking bike you have there, more like a piece of art that's designed to be ridden.

I'll keep my ears open as I also live out west, maybe have a sound off competition & annoy the local westys with our ear splitting machines :yes:

I think my neighbours have gone off me- warming up the 996 has ruined a perfectly good relationship between me and my fellow neighbours (the buel is just about as loud eh - led had the firebolt and it sounded like it was eating itself alive when it idled :)

. the 996 was running the other day before a ride, I gently eased it out the garden path (as being true westies the drive was parked up with too many cars) and two builders from the site next door were standing in front of the letter box staring at me and the bike grinning with their arms folded... (all i was thinking was don't stall now baby as that would be one hell of a come down from this funny little scene...) i couldn't resist riding completely obnoxiously down the road in first so they'd be able to hear me all the way to the te atatu town roundabout...:Punk:

S&S
3rd May 2007, 14:04
lmao... Bet that made there day :Punk:

The buell is very aggressive in the throaty v-twin sound department. With the hyper charger sucking away & the aftermarket race pipes blasting at the road, it turns a lot of heads & raises a few fingers :devil2:

I'm sure your as bad as me in the engine braking department.... "what are breaks?" love the noise, come in hard & fast while chopping down :)

BTW, shouldn't the clutch be making all the noise when its out, not in?

I'm pretty sure it's making the noise in the right place because its an almost brand nu cluch!it's a slipper clutch which is a first for me and it's taking a bit of getting used to driving slow anytime i hit traffic or road works as it just wants to bolt!
