    I have seen a 635Ninja keep ahead of a triple... riders where both good.... road good but bloody tight, to tight for the triple sorry to say....... less work on the smaller lighter Ninja...

    Just because I've got Pommie origins and a decent education, it doesn't mean I like spanking. Ahem, it doesn't mean I don't like it either

    I can see that term has finished for you or you're just filling in time until it does finish, hehe.

Also if anyone has either of these bikes for sale let me know, I'm cashed up and ready to buy.

    Speed in a straight line is great for losing your license.
    Take the best handling bike and enjoy the twisties.
    By my eye it should be the Shiver. Better brakes, better suspension?, longer suspension travel, wider bars.

    My S4Rs is weighing in at 170kg and does go around corners real well. Best complement I had was from a couple of sprot bikers after passing them on the inland Kaikouras who then tried to keep up only to over bake the next corner...Faaarrk that thing corners quick

    600km in a day Pfffft....The S4Rs was great on the 10 day 10 000km super tour. and the GC.....not to mention the TT2000....Pm me if you are going to Chch...

    Fooook off...look at what this old fella rides and as for v2 gutlessness...This old amature on the 998cc monster pisses all over an XJR1300 ridden by an experienced racer in a straight line.
