    That will make the thing much easier and less intimidating to ride mate...those that are there stock really are terrible, in my humble opinion.
    i did ask 'em at the shop when i picked it up but they wanted to charge me more... so i'll give 'em a whirl and at least i can say i've tried 'em.

    i'm hearing you tho mate and will ride with that in mind.

    churr!

    Cool, shiney side up is the way with new bikes aye. my 600 was delivered on those and didn't even turn a wheel...we junked them for our brand to run in even..i rode a demo ZX6-R and a demo K7 on them and was extremly uncomfortable on both.

    Happy days riding!

    They're the 015's huh... what didn't you like about 'em?? I'll probably try Dunlops next but i cant imagine they'll give many k's as the 600 went threw a rear in about 3,000k's

    Nice one boomer, and in black as well. They do lend themselves to the yoshimura single self supporting pipe very well. Have fun with that thing, like I need to tell you that.

    Dude. As much as I'd like to make a crack about Snoozuki build quality, you might want to check the bottom of the catalytic converter. Could be dirt, but it's suspiciously rust-coloured.

    Size and two up ability shyed me away.

    I've changed to the Dunlops as well. Love em!
    What Dunnys were you running on the 600 to give you 3000K before changing the rear?

    teh 14's perfect for you and your needs mate! the 208rr's and teh 209 qualifiers. in fact the qualifier front only lasted one track day, it was rooted after that.

    are you using the qualifiers?

    I'm on the good ole 208rr...
    The 209 quals are a tad 'unpredictable' for winter riding.

    Congrats Mate!! Looks nice in black. Saw a black 750 in Taupo that had a black Micron pipe - Think it would have been better in aluminium to match the other alloy bits rather than the black... IMO

    Looks like you qualify for $50 weekend trackdays now.... Lots of K7s at the td on Saturday. One of the regulars from Gisborne had one delivered at the track - no more chicken strips and given the great weather we had he had a blast! Check out my trackside vid....

    They're doin a deal - $75 for both the Manfeild and Taupo trackdays later in the year if you are interested. Aint Suzuki great?
