    Course it is mate,sadly though the Playstation generation wont understand how it could be,they may well search through games 1 through to 500 but as it doesnt feature (think it does actually lol)then it wont fit the image.

    You can almost keep up with it eh Pussy?

    Got some riding to do this weekend, and then I'd probably prefer riding the RF down to Wellington on the 17th rather than put more miles on the CBX so I'm not panicking yet. After the Wellytown trip I'll put it on TradeMe and see what happens, otherwise the dealer I'm getting the Ducati off will trade it (seeing as I bought it off him 'as traded' in the first place!) so no stress.
    But if someone is looking for a cheap RF900, this would be a good one to get if I say so myself.

    Done. Subject to inspection /nothing implied and no offence intended/ and the owner willing to wait a max of 3 weeks for cash upon pickup of bike. Have done my budget and will be ready 1st week of december.

    So does this mean that there is one less RF in the naki now? I was eyeing it up just for the seat, after the welly ride the stock seat on mine is getting its matching orders.

    Know how you feel dude. Apparently I'm riding it home from the 'naki for Hans so the seat better be comfy...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Amen to that. My suspension is pretty hard at the best of times. 700kms in one day would leave me mighty saddle sore, not to mention with a crick in my neck from not being able to stretch out in my leathers due to being such a fat bastard.

    lmao .....I wish I was a fat bastard not a thin skiny light weight bastard, at least that way I might have half a chance of keeping the rear tyre on the ground.

    Why did you have it set up for a 75-80kg rider, surely it would have been better to set up for your own considerably heavier weight?

    That's rich coming from somone 2 feet shorter than me that weighs at least 20Kg more..... (and has a preference for the larger ladies....then again, most of them are larger than you I suppose!)

    Soon to be one less.....

    I know what you mean regarding the stock seat, much more than an hour in the saddle and I was looking for excuses to stop. The Corbin made a huge difference even though it was a tad wide for my liking. The ride to Wellington and back was done with only a stop for gas with no detriment to the posterior. Worst part was having to concentrate in the pissing rain and dark on the last leg, not the most pleasant ride from Himatangi back to NP.
