Test riding is over...

[chanceyy]

Well the test riding days are over .. I have found "the bike"

I pretty quickly knew it was a bandit 1200 that was the bike for me, however the ones that I test rode locally were either overpriced for the ks or had question marks over one or another part of them ..

A chance conversation with Delphinus asking if he knows of any decent bandits for sale .. & as it happened he told me to pm another kb member to see if his one was still available

so thanks to Cold_Comfort .. I now have a new bandit 1200SK6 Delphinus is bringing her up for me next week when he comes to get his bike .. (and its the direct route .. not the west coast/back road kinda way plz )

So it will be the long way to the cold duck rally on friday morning to have a decent ride & might just have to sneak out on the saturday too ..

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank some of the guys I ride with for their support, wisdom and encouragement .. in no particular order Bonez, Rottiguy, NZsarge, Sugilite, Banditrider, Oscarnz and Rvgrider - you guys are simply awesome and I look forward to the rides in the coming weeks

I also want to thank Dmntd & Riderinblack for checking out bikes for me in my quest to find "the bike"

and of course Delphinus for that chance convo ... on ya mate ..

Test rode one a few years back (up the Esk valley - yeah baby!). Riding position pretty similar to the RF - maybe a tad roomier. Go like a cut cat, good sized tank etc etc.

[Donor]

I sense a disturbance in the force... an asian biker nears the thread... stalking, hunting...

Run Betsy, RUN!

[helenoftroy]

He's a good egg that Delphinus :rockon:

Hes a cool kid our Jack,and chanceyy fantastic choice:banana: they are very nice bikes

Best part is i get to check your new steed out when Delphinus stays the night on his way up to you next week

The garage will look pretty impressive with my two bikes,sons cbr250r & the new black steed

Being the fact Betsy is a total slapper she will prob see GIjoe & start stripping for him, or is that big ole hornet ... (she seems to like the bigger bikes for some funny reason)

but if said asian biker does get close to her .. I figure you will not be far behind :nya:

Glad everything came together nicely. Good timing with me needing to be heading up that way as well!
I am looking forward to scrubbing in that new rear tyre properly for you on the west coast on the way up... oh what? You want me to take the direct route!?

Now I just have to hope that the weather controllers have exhausted themselves with the recent bout of freezing temperatures, snow in central otago/southland, and hail 10cm deep in Dunedin, and I get a semi fine ride up!

I'm glad you like it! Should have plenty of fun miles on that.

Note - Go find yourself a friend on a Daytona 675. I met up with a guy riding one on the way up and when you get them screaming together it mixes to make a glorious sound!

Off up to Taranaki now to get on my bright yellow beastie... it'll be greeeat!

well I have just completed the first 400 odd ks on the new girl .. & simply love it .. just taking it fairly quietly while getting used to the xtra ponies & weight (esp being fully loaded with gear for the Cold Duck)

so sat on a respectable license keeping speeds with the odd overtaking jobbie .. still conservative which is fine with me but loving the extra torque & not having to spank it like good ole Betsy ..

will spend the next month doing some ks but no probs sitting on her for long distance seat is quite comfy, feet have no probs touching the ground, loving the heated handgrips (perfect for winter riding - amazed at the difference they make .. highly recommend)

soooooooooooooo how was your beastie .. does it feel like a new bike ???

[sorbus]

hi, met you at cold duck, how did you enjoy the weekend heather

[YellowDog]

I've not see one as clean as that for a long time.

It will have to be 'Sunshine Days' only for you.

Good luck.

I think that black suits both the K6 & K7's. When I got my K6 it was from the 1st shipment and both me & my mate had to settle for blue. Great bikes no matter the shade.

[rottiguy]

sweet :) well apparently the K8s have just got into the country last Thursday so it's speeding it's way down now and should be here 2moro
