    No you will go out to get bread and wont come back for 2 hours. Or 2 days.

    Your bike is faster than a new ninja so don't even think of wasting your money

    Hahahaha yeah man I can vouch for this, I finished work one day in summer and thought "the weather is so good I'm not going to work tomorrow (friday)", and spent 3 days in beautiful weather riding my bike, it was magic..

    MAGIC

    yeah... guess the Japanese dont have far to ride huh? my flatmate has just got an 89 GSXR also only done 9k... direct from Japan....

    Dont think I will put too many K's on the clock.... I only put about 5000 on my car per year...so the bike maybe...3000 per year?

    .................................................. ...........

    probably wound back if its an import

    3000 a year??? i've done ... *mumble mumble* carry the 1.. *more mumbles*
    over 28K in 13 months (minus 1 month where i didnt ride..) so 12 months.


    im betting ur 3000 a year will go right out the window soon, especially when the weather's good.

    yeah probably gonna clock up the ks....
    Alot of the NZ new bikes are low ks..... dont think the japanese ride em far... normally if the bike looks well worn then its done alot of ks. Saw a nice FZR yesterday that is an 88 I think with 6k on the clock.... but looked genuine.... frame, panels etc all original, but not alot of wear and tear.... my bike looked pretty good for 20yrs old...

    I doubt any of these low k bikes are wound back. They just sit on japanese car lots for years and nobody wants them.

    I don't think the new Ninja is that good looking i prefer the looks of the old sports bikes.

    i like the old looking Ninja's too.... Actually they all look nice... CBRs FZRs GSXRs....do Honda or Yamaha still make a 250? Kawasaki have the Ninja and I think Suzuki do a GSX?
