Pics of Two Smokers K5

[Two Smoker]

Hey everyone,

Well my Dad had a good trip up from wellington and i now have my dream bike in my garage.... Big thank you to Jimmy (White Trash) for getting the bike and organising everything....

Big sorry to those who came to Wellington Motorcycles to see me, i couldnt make it as i was called into work.... Also a big sorry to the Christmas party, the weather was absolutely shite and i didnt want to risk taking the K5 along (i also have work at 5am tomoro :wacko: )

My Dad was very impressed with the bike, and actually found it a comfortable bike to ride (except the hard seat). Handling wise he said it was beautiful and extremely smooth and well mannered. Engine is extremely flexible with alot of torque from 3000rpm and up, sitting at 110kmh in 6th gear it is doing 6000rpm, and with a small twist of the wrist or a drop of one gear, quickly and effortlessly passed the cage that was once infront of you...

Ofcourse i had to take it for a ride, but then i didnt want to, but in the end i did... I am simply amazed, I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE PERFECT BIKE!!!! I cant wipe the smile off my face, i am so happy.... The bike is extremely flickable and very well balanced as well as very smooth. The suspension is perfect for the road, just firm enough to be sporty, but not as firm as my ZXR400 to bounce you off the seat on every pebble on the road... Gearbox is as smooth as silk, as is the engine. The engine pulls from anywhere, i found myself changing at 5-6000rpm and that was plenty of revs to see the legal speed limit (on the motorway that is) things really start to happen at 7000rpm, and i cant wait to take it above 9000rpm (where the powerband starts) after its first service. Havnt tested the brakes or handling alot (as it is pissing down with rain) but first impressions tell me that they are going to be awesome as well...

Ive got a couple of crappy photos there with the GSX-R and ZXR. I will get some better photos later, with all 3 of my bikes there. As you can see i have set up the couch right infront of the GSX-R so i can just look at it, i probably will never ride it again as all i want to do is look at it and drool and admire.....

Cheers everyone :)

[Riff Raff]

Ah, bless your little cotton socks. But it is not right for a motorbike to lie idle for then it rebels mightily - go forth and conquer this beast, then set up your computer by the couch facing the bike so you can wax lyrically to your fellow KBers whilst casting adoring glances at the object of your desire. :love2:

Congratulations TwoSmoker you deserve to be on cloud nine and buzzing with pride. Top stuff.
Whitetrash pointed your Father out to me as he headed off out the door on the new beast. Hope you get some fine days in soon to get to know your new best friend. Don't over cook it now until you get to know each other! :2thumbsup

[Kwaka-Kid]

nice bike for the money eh!
very well done dude, if i was to buy a new bike it would certainly be first on my list.

enjoy it!

[Two Smoker]

Once again thanks everyone :niceone: :) I took it for a bit of a ride today, but the majority of the roads were wet :( but there was some dry parts, hence having no chicken strips on the rear and and about 5 mm to go on the front (give me a dry day and no wind with full engine power and they wont last long :shifty: )

Have got over 800km on the odo so i can now rev it too 11000rpm (201kmh in 6th gear...... well thats what i heard it was....)

HANDLING IS AWESOME AND STABLE!!! engine is extremely flexible with torque everywhere (im sure someone has put a v-twin in there :shifty:)

I am stoked, people have been coming upto me asking about my bike, people (read girls) have been waving at me, and it wasnt my mum or my sister either :shit: lol...

Now i need a yoshi pipe to make her sweet engine sound like her sweet induction......

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RIDING A GSX-R600 you will be blown away......

[onearmedbandit]

very nice bike TS. If I was in the position to do so (buying a house soon) I would be seriously looking at the '05 750. Local Suzuki dealer has been trying to tempt me into an '04 but so far I've resisted. But a man can only take so much...

[Her_C4]

Noice bike TS :ride:

Hey TS good on ya - cool eh! I got my K5 only 2 weeks ago - the force grows! Wicked machines....race bikes with lights really....which leads us to the track sooner or later.......we should catch up for ride one day for a family photo/compare notes. So far I've put a huuger on, some crash bungs and a yoshi RS3. Next up, race fairings......no must learn to race first on RGV...

Yeah mate, love it... should be in Wellington with Bruce and MR in the new year.... Ive got alot of work to beat your photo mate, not too many corners that smooth and with that nice camber around...

Yep Guy, that sounds good... Mine is bog standard at the mo, but am looking at a Yoshi TRS coz i like the angles, and i reakon it will match the bikes mean angles (but need the $$$)... What kind of crash bungs did you get, and where from? I will be at Taupo (hopefully in F3) so we can have a yarn then :niceone:

No worries TS. When you are down this way give me a shout and I'll grab the camera and we can go to the same corner. It's about 10 mins from my house. Failing that there's always the track.

[Motoracer]

Woooohoooo!!! I can just imagine how excited you are right now Chris!!! :banana: Well done matey, very well done indeed.

I am really excited and rapt for you as well and a little jealous too.... (read: REALLY JEALOUS!!!!)

[Coldkiwi]

[Cajun]

good on ya chris! Now, you HAVE got crash bungs on it already haven't you? Trust me, new paint has this wierd ground attraction effect - don't wait!
TS dude, F1 engereing in hammy have crash bungs for them they are the same as the 1000, so if ya want them ring them and get them $125 or something they cost me, you can get in them in white and black

[slob]

I'm starting to feel my wallet burning a hole in my pocket right now! Nice bike dude! I'm sure you'll do it justice with your riding!

[Blakamin]

Very nice!
when ya come down for the photo you'll have to give us a yell... not far from that corner myself!

[Two Smoker]

Very nice!
when ya come down for the photo you'll have to give us a yell... not far from that corner myself!Will do.... Yep i really need crash bungs... but i want to see what everyone has on offer.... although the F1 Engineering one sounds good.... So where did everyone get their crash bungs and how much did they cost????

[aff-man]

All up about $70. But they need flush mounts and i know on CK's bike the fram is angled with the bolt hole level ..... so even with ones that "should have" fit we had to do some filing. If you can get some for $125 that is a bloody good deal, most professional ones start from the $170 mark :bash:

[Two Smoker]

Maaate still damn jealous. Hey when you going to welly TS??
I have the 7th,8th,9th,and 10th of january off so if its flexible then those dates would be awesome... then i could come too.. would be keen as.
oh and then 15,16,17 and 18th.. and so on
I dont know when, Brice and MR are talking about the 1st of January..... Not a clue for me (due to finances etc....)

[Motoracer]

Na man, not the 1st. I gotta go to the Mount for NY to check out the NZ version of spring break! Chicka heven! :yeah:
