    New bike time!

    Winter's here... rain, cold, blind drivers, frost on the road, grit and gravel in the corners, bad visibility...

    So I've gone and bought a....

    Kawasaki ZX-10R!! in BLACK!

    Many thanks to nudemetals who came out to help me check it out on a cold, wet day; and the guys at Wellington Motorcycles for being good sports and letting me try out the SV1000 and Buell1125r there... Both bloody good bikes, but I couldn't get past the raw Aaaarrrrrr-ness of the kwaka, so there.

    A perfect winter bike...

    Looking nice

    Glad to see you made the smart choice and got it in black and not the over the top Kawasaki green!

    But each to their own, I'm just not a fan!

    With the new kwaka in the garage, I've found someone to keep the Cagiva well used...

    She'll get there someday...
