New home, new bike

[ninjac]

Hi all,
I have just settled here in Auckland and got my new bike in the weekend.
Here are some pics (low quality).
Lucky the rain stayed away and I got 400Km of break-in riding done.
First impressions of the bike is its way more harder that my J2 which is to be expected. Turns and holds a line brilliant but too early to guage power. The shop put in 91 octane and said that was correct. It was knocking constantly. I put in 96 and is much better. There is a sticker on the tank that reads use 90+octane but this is a different standard to our RON. The users book states use 95 RON.
I'll show them this when I pick up my seat cowl.
Catch you around.

Love the front end on those.. They look angry =p

yeah i use 96 in everything even the mower but after it sits in shed for months on end the potencies probably gone.

New lights look good in that shot!


I suggest SH22 south from Bombay as a nice ride with a mix of everything..... just take it easy as it seems to eat bikes.

That might work!? Neat thing to show routes if it does can zoom in out print the bits you need....

Another top route is the Coro Loop!

welcome to the lucky few, mines an 05 but who cares. Lovin the ninjas, i came off a 92 zxr750 and the weight and agility differance is huge.

Although the rear number plate assemblies are bloody ugly. Need a hacksaw?

Looks like you took a trip down to Piha. Good road on a good day, albeit short.

Welcome to aucks.

auckland would be alright if it were not crouded!
and if the people that drove would look before they pulled out.
theres decent roads around too, but many more police then i have seen anywhere else.
Nice bike!
