The worlds best selling superbike has been in storage since January. Wheeled it out this afternoon, put the key in the ignition and presto. Fired up like "where have you been". If it were a sugookie it would have been written off by now but the Honda is just too mighty. What a bike.
You really can't beat them.

Question really is...why has it been in storage since January?????? Clearly the Brutale who knocked it down a perch...My Zookie may be of lesser build quality...but I plan to clock the kms up before it gets a chance to win by falling apart with age.

Good point Brett. Once you've gone naked, you never want to go out dressed in plastic again. Especially on the goat tracks they call roads in NZ.
Try it.

I'm built for comfort not speed. However, speaking of speed, how is Sugookie doing in WSB and GP? I don't think they've seen the frag yet.

I love all this talk of nakedness....
I will most likely pass the gixxer in some time next year (will forever be my favourite most adored by I reckon) and the two bikes that have been looking the most appealing are the KTM Superduke and ZX10r...will be many moons and business successes before I can go for something like the Brutale sadly...

Forget the Brutale, the Superduke is the go. A mate of mine just picked up the R version and I can't keep up. We are equal on any other bike. Just ask DMTD.

I'm waiting to catch up with Chris to check that new R out. The previous Superduke was a minta, this sounds like a whole new ball game! He seems adament that once I ride one I wont go back...will have to wait and see. But I know DMNTD loved the ZX10...so the duke must have been something special to turn him...

All the jap litre bikes are the same. Boring. Ride the Superduke and you will see.

Ah the beauty of fuel injection. There's me still with carbed bikes but again of all of them the Honda VFR still starts easiest if its been sitting around except I help the others along by flushing fresh fuel through the carbs before I even attempt to fire them up.
