    I know what you mean, I think the Kawasaki designer that works on the front of their road bikes must be on some good drugs. That said, ugly chicks aren't much to look at either but a whole lot of fun once you mount 'em.

    Making sure it's clear could be more effective.

    Yeah it's gonna be better once it gets past 1000ks and I can start to hammer the shit out of it! It is slightly thirsty though.

    Have you started adding bits to it yet?
    Highly recommend going -1 off the front sprocket as it really helps with legal roll on power plus ups its yeeha factor too.
    I've choosen a pair of the Two Bro's cans and a new mid pipe and Juice Box is on its way to sharpen it some more.
    I also really recommend having your suspension tuned for you as they are renown for coming "uneven" up front. Once dialed they really are quite a different bike.

    Its got GYTR carbon pipes which sound nice... apart from that its standard. I've found a nice setting for the track but I think it would really be nice if Rob taylor fettled it with some Ohlins goodies.... that'll have to wait a bit. Its a cracking bike as it stands though...

    Yep agreed...I was nice for about 100kms and then simply just proactively gave it from there on in.
    IMO the biggest concern to a new motor is labouring it which is also one reason why I re geared them from new.

    interesting read, I can imagine that article has caused some debate. my 2 stroke break in consists of getting to the bombing range as fast as I can, but I have a little more money invested into this one.
