New bike for me

[Bullitt]

Yeah that suits me. Will go talk to Motomart and see what they can get me one for.

Yours looks very nice, few differences, totally different stickers on the fairing, mine has the packrack and I dont have a cover for the pillion seat.

Seems strange considering them little, it still feels pretty big to me after the SR but I was surprised how light it felt. Havnt had any trouble with it in that respect...though I do hate the rediculous amount of lock it has...will be easier once I get rid of another of my cars and it isnt so tight around here. At least one is already gone, otherwise id probably have to have backed a car onto the road just to get it in and out.

If you think your bike is big try sitting on a Gixxer 1000, Fireblade, ZX10R or even some of the IL4 6 hundies.

Everything feels big after a 250 because everyone except Hyosung thinks all 250 riders are 5'00" tall.

Well my photography skills still leave alot to be desired but at least you can see the bike in these photos.

Alot cleaner than it was on the ferry too. Still got a fair bit more polishing before ill be satisfied though

Hey Bullitt,

Hasn't anyone told you

Bikes are for riding

Not polishing

This applies to Ducatis especially

They gotta be clean..less wide resistance for one!...not to mention everyone you see saying...OMG look at that nice clean bike!...

[McJim]

Hey Bullitt, what are you header pipes made of? They look like they've been painted black (which is usually a sign that they're made of steel).

Mine has titanium headers that I thought were standard. Do me a favour and see if a fridge magnet sticks to 'em.

Cheers.

They might SAY that

But what they are thinking is...

OMG what a waste - that bike needs to be ridden

[Bullitt]

The headers arnt painted black, theyre just coated in 51ks of dirt. Not sure what the surface is actually, it looks chromed where the pipes join together but too dirty to tell by the engine. A magnet does stick to them though so theyre likely steel.

I have every intention of riding it. Ive done about 100ks in a week considering I dont commute on it I dont think is too bad. No reason I cant keep it looking shiny though.

I've had mine for 3 months - covered 6,000km in some of the filthiest weather Auckland can throw at a bike.

Still shiny!
