yeah more like it altho the 2010 is more bassed on the dry sump and 'K' modles


http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-305397553.htm NB the 4-1 and side covers


http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-305527800.htm NB the engine design and lack of tail fairing.

I know... I was waiting for the hell power wheelie beside the moth.
Thing is the bikes being aimed at the born again and triumph type posers, I mean after all a tootpaste tube and #46 helmet just wouldnt suit aye...
Id have it but would cafe style it and pound the shit out off every horse power it has.

Yeah, it's got potential. There are bugger all bikes that come from the factory ready to ride - I can't leave bikes alone and end up giving everything I own at least one makeover - every time I look at a bike I think "imagine if...." I was looking a V11 Sport the other day and thinking maybe I need to return to the dark side, but wasn't sure what to do to it.

[grbaker]

err very Retro.

Looks likes me CB250RS from the 80's ... just missing the drum brakes.

Whilst I like Roadster style bikes, I also like to see something new in a new model (even the Harley XR1200R had a fresh look). Its not ugly or shit just nothing new or better than a twenty year old CB750/1000. (2cents, no flame).

Duno what its like up your way but I refer to the trend down here with the born agains and how they have gone from HD to Triumph, its a stigma all right... hassle a guzzi gezzz man low

[Big Dave]

Yeah, it's been on for a while and at $7k that would leave a few K for some personalising and tastiness. Out of the crate they're a bloody good bike and well equipped for a road bike.

the sound of an angry triple is truly addictive and due to the student lifestyle and a new mortgage I can't afford both.

You Guzzi people are evil, I keep thinking back to my old Mk2 and the many miles we shared, that lovely rocking side to side thing, the seat like a plank and those electrics.... God I loved that bike.

[Big Dave]

Is the Buell road or track?

[Big Dave]

My pick is the V7. I really like that bike.

ya reckon?

Is the Buell road or track?

Its Rashika's as is the LC, The buell was built up from new for the track but Rashika rescued it having said that we have both raced it all the same... dont need to tell you how they beg for blue bloody murder

the sound of an angry triple is truly addictive and due to the student lifestyle and a new mortgage I can't afford both.

Dont worry I know it, the sound is awesome... for a non twin



But back to the CB... hell I even raced my own CB muilty

[shrub]

ya reckon?

Hey, I still think electric start and disc brakes is pretty well up there. Hell, my T Bird has fully adjustable suspension and liquid cooling - that's a seriously trick piece of kit.
