Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

Ooooh nice mate, hope you are gonna get the flames put on the new 14,
Mate it there was a way to make that happen I would.You could always sell the ZX10 & keep the duke
Unfortunately,my ZX10 is a Co. vehicle and according to my accountant I'm better off holding onto it for a while
If I had my way the ZX10 would be sold and the new Superduke R would be MINE....all MINE!!
Nah the Superduke's damage is only superficial....cans,side stand,indicators,gear selector, etc. Has just taken the insurance Co. ages to pull finger and pay out.
It's a good financial idea for me to give it up. Will save $1400+ pa in rego and insurance alone and will allow me to play around with other toys.
I will however own a Superduke R within the next 18months
Iiimbecile-baiting since 2007
Give up? Surely you mean 'trade in', dear boy. Just remember, KTM's superbike's due out in the next year or so...

Well I mean sell...not trade.
Not keen on the KTM Super bike,however I'd have the Superduke R in a second.

So..what sort of job is it that the ZX10 is a company vehicle
??????
and does this mean that if I start working mainly from home, I can write the bike off to commute the 210 K to the office every other day??????
Nice Kwaka guys - I miss my old K.......

The bike will surprise you. That’s both good and bad. Good from the perspective that it defies its weight and handles like a bike half its size in most situations. Its centre of gravity sits low so the weight of the bike is close to the ground and evenly distributed over its long wheelbase. It corners beautifully and with the handlebar positioning higher than normal you're not riding down on the front of the bike.There you go then, my ride is now a ZX14
However the downside is that it makes you think that you are riding something smaller and lighter…which it most definitely aint. You'll need to spend time understanding how to ride this bike in the tight stuff which I know you are very good at doing anyway. The key is braking sooner and smoother. Lines are rounder. This is even more pronounced in the wet.
Basically the mindset required to ride this bike requires you are set up a lot sooner than most riders so that you are cued up for a straighter exit...especially on the quicker rides. You can defintely point and squirt but to point the bike in the first place means being harder on the brakes and turning the bike on a dime at very slow speeds. You may be able to throw a 600 around this way but not a ZX14.
Follow Beyond and Busa Pete on the next rides you do with them. They are great ones for smooth flowing big bike type lines.
On another note I personally think the bike (in stock form) is sprung too softly. There is no feedback through the front and especially the rear. However - you don’t want the bike sprung too hard. So check the suspension and make sure its set up for you, your weight, riding style and typical of the roads you ride on. I put Ohlins internals on the front and shock on the rear after my off at Taupo and havent looked back.

Sell the ZX10 to a 3rd party & you can claim any loss on it straight away including GST!!
You can then 'sell' the KTM to your company & claim it as a business vehicle. It is a paper transaction & fairly simple to do.

Biggest problem I have is the amount of money I'd lose on the deal as have spent BIG dollars on it since buying it in mid March.
However...it's just money though innit?
Will PM you if you don't mind a bit later
