    Arrow New Bike Ordered.

    Went for a ride with the Naki crew, including a few KBers, they know who they are. Was the slowest rider there I think and by the time I arrived back in New Plymouth I was having thoughts of harming my bike. I was totally peeved with its lack of preformance and the fact that I had to totally ring its neck to keep up. Over the next two days the thoughts got worse, I was totally unhappy with the way the bike handled and the fact that it would give me all it had, but it was not enough. Oh well, I think I've out grown the CB400, better think about getting rid of it before I kill it (have done it to other bikes "I've out grown"). So unless I find someone who could do with the CB400, it'll be traded in on the new bike. Oh and for all those wondering. I've tried out all the brands but my instincts was right. I'm buying another Honda. That and the price has just dropped to a very reasonable price. I'm just waiting for the available colours so that I might make my choice. There is a blue one that I don't like. Below are the ones I do like. The first being the one I like the most and the last being the one I like the least. What do you all think, or am I just going to be bagged for buying another Honda?

    The first one, but not sure if that colour is available here. Buying new or S/H? Some cheap CBR1000RR's on Trade Me, you'd pick up one for the same price if not cheaper than a new 600.
    Like this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...n-34157400.htm

    I don't actually want a 1 litre bike at all, thats why I've choosen the 600. Plus I want a new one, not a broken or fixed one, I can do that myself, maybe...

    Go for what you want - a new black 600 is a sexy beast.
    Buy one and enjoy...

    Yuss! Go for it! (drool)

    I also agree with your colour ranking, that new red/blue one looks a bit suspect...

    Will have to get into the taking it easy mode on the 400 so that I'm ready to run the 600 in. Wonder which way I should go for the run in ride?

    Good on you, nice bike . It would be good if the first one was available here!! Just out of interest, did you try the 636, isn't it about 1K cheaper?

    When does it arrive?

    I'm jelous.
    A couple of people have said I've outgrown my Zeal. I'd love to get a bigger bike, but it's going to be a while yet before I can, due to still being on my restricted and not having the cash.
    I reckon those honda bikes certainly got it right in the looks department.
