Need advice on a bike to tour NZ.

[Zapf]

So I figure I've been on this forum long enough for many of you to know me a bit but not so long that you've all decided Im a total fuckwit and ignore my threads.

I have done 3 big tours, as in around SI. On SV650S / CB900 Hornet / CBR1100XX.

If you'll be carrying hard luggage SV1000S's would take Givi hard luggages. And it is ... more sports bike than tourer.

Otherwise I have a 04 CBR954 in good condition with 8'000kms looking for a new owner

LOL 86GSXR.......I know I moan about how crappy Palmerston North is.......but Im sure it would be a whole lot better on a motorcycle with some riders from KB to show me around. First time I went through there I didnt know anyone and I came by train. That mighta had something to do with my negative first impression

That's OK lol. We'll meet you somewhere before the Gorge and take you on the scenic route. Just don't bring MSTRS's Ford

Oi...you know something I don't?? Anyway - you wrong, boy...no Ford's allowed at mine.....

Best thing to do with that place....some of the people there are OK tho

Nah - you right first time.
Hint: - turn left at Woodville....

Why thank you, nice Ford too
