New 2006 Bikes!

[Blackbird]

You Gixxer pilots must have a complex (or very small knobs?) You're always going on about "My bike is faster than yours!".
Like,

Ian,

They're as common as muck and the pilots have to talk themselves up. One of my riding partners has a Gixxer 1000 and it's just the same with him What you won't find them talking about though is the time lost through regular gas stops. That's why you don't see them on the Grand Challenge

They need the frequent gas stops to unseize their spines.

Looks like there might be a Honda CBX1600XX V6 in the pipeline. How about that one Zed?

Just a rumor at this stage bro. See this link for prototype pics.

I wonder how the 1200 Blackbird will compare with your 1100.
I've got a mate checking out a Blackbird tomorrow. He's found an immaculate 1999 model with 70,000km up for $8000.

No doubt a 1200 would have more ponies...but IMO the 1137cc is powerful enuf, for NZ roads anyway!

70kms is getting up there, he should be able to negotiate down in price. I paid 8k for mine with only 34kms on the clock! Every Bird owner I have spoken to has fallen in love with it - superb machine in so many ways!

He's had one before, years ago. Mileage is always higher here. It's amazing the low mileage cars etc you get there. We average 20,000km a year in our car and it doesn't seem like we really go anywhere!

Well I don't see any links to the 06 ZX-10R so I thought I'd leave a few for ya. Since its what I've been drooling over for the past week. At first glance I thought the front end looked a bit on the ugly side. After looking at it for a while though I realised it was just a suprise. I hadn't expected something that drastic. Now I think anything with huge lights that cover the whole front end looks ugly.

That's because ours are all imports and are clocked.
