    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    From what I've seen (at least in wellington and the wairarapa), is that the Suzuki bikes are the most popular amongst learners and commuters. For experienced riders and those that like to travel around allot (and can afford to ride one unlike myself) its the triumph.

    Biggest selling bike over 651cc in NZ is the Triumph Speemaster, followed by the 883N Harley. Contray to one penis's opinion that Suzuki release models here a year after the rest of the world...we actually often get 'em well before anyone else. Depends on the model.
