    Ok so I finally figured out how to log back in but thankyou all for your comments.

    So I brought the bike and although it has a few scrapes after checking it out seems like it stacks up the way it should. On this note do not ake a motorbike for a warrent to the VTNZ in Maleme St Tauranga. They passed the bike with canvas and steel showing through on the rear tyre, front tyre shaved on one side, steering bearings and a few other things... So unsafe to ride.

    These were all fixed before purchase at a grand price of $4000. My mechanic said it was a good buy but will need a new chain and sprocket within the next twelve months.

    Overall pretty happy with it.

    Yes I am having to keep on my toes as it can haul like a maniac but fortunately I have time and patience on my side.

    Just waiting on some track events to come up so i can get a bit more time used to pushing it. As much as it was fun racing on the 250 at those speeds you could walk home from most incidents if you had one. This is a whole new ball game so saving it for the track much to the annoyance of my 600 buddys,,,

    So will hopefully see a few of you around in the area.'

    Cheers and thanks.

    Yes definately brought it and will have to do photos later.

    Just found they have some trackdays coming up soon. Playday? or something like that. Does anyone know what the rules are for these events? I could only find the ones about cars?

    Hmm bikes in good nick but most likely will do the chain and sprocket first. Was hoping to wait for that as i was planning on going 2 up on the rear but need more training time I think before doing that.

    The leathers I havent got so will start trawling trademe for some and will need a new helmet as someone is now riding with mine leaving the souvenir scrap of chinstrap attached to my bike. (I'd even brought a brand new helmet for this bike...)

    Anyway.

    Will keep it easy til Ive got used to it as it surely is different..
