    CBX1000 a "Superbike"?

    Thread Starter: sugilite

    Anyone here have experience with these? The article linked below references the term "Superbike" often. Now super engineering I get, but Superbike? I rode the Kawasaki 6 once and it was super smooth and very heavy, living up to Kawasaki Heavy Industries tag with great gusto :laugh: ...

    SI adventure trip 2026

    Thread Starter: SaferRides

    Mainly on sealed roads with 3 days of soft adventure riding, Molesworth, Nevis and Hakataramea. There are 3 of us on a 1250 GS, V-strom 800 and me on the R1. I was going to buy or borrow an adv for the trip, but decided to bring the R1 instead as it enjoys the SI and I can do some good rides on...

      Weather got better for the race in the afternoon, although it was still a bit windy. Great race to watch.

      Some technical infringements in one new class which were apparently sorted before they went out on track

      That's because we're a class that always sticks to the rules

      I didn't quite make 1 lap in the lead, Pirate got me with a few metres to go so Drew is currently one up on that score

      Indeed, but they got off on the grass at that last start but the CTAS coverage wasn't close enough to show us exactly what happened, and they had a good comeback from that - well done boys .

      His favourite action? What about you Kick were you happy with the weekend?

      I watched a bit of the CTAS coverage and that was pretty good compared to previous efforts including the post race interviews.
