I can't quite believe this is in my garage

Make sure the garage gets locked mate. theres punks out there that will watch you drive it in, day after day, and then go and tell one of their 'mates' there is a sweet bike to rip off. I dyna-bolted my baby down to the floor. At least it would slow them down!
Sweet bike. Look after her.

It's a Honda. It's gay.

(cool bike - and Grant's a nice chap - glad he sorted you out)

Nice bike but they misspelt Ducati somehow......

It just came down to time and money. I'd have liked to give one as it might have given the Honda a run for it. They're all awesome bikes but I could have kept testing for weeks if I threw in more naked and older bikes in (K5 gixxers, 748 or 749, buells, etc).

Not that I had a choice of colours unless I wanted to swap with the red/white demo I test rode. The red/white looks pretty crap in photos but the white is pearl and looks lovely in the sun. Can't wait to see the Hanspree replica paint job. Only 3 coming to NZ.

Yeah gotta be mega careful about security. The good thing is most of the time I'm not there neither is the bike.

Have separated the keys too so I don't have to do the $1500 replacement ECU if I lose both.

... I will be test riding like you have done (tried everything) when the time comes... *counting down*... fark it seems like ages ago it was 6 months to go... !... now its still 3 months 2weeks to go!...
I think I have my heart set on a honda... but then there is still a kawasaki twin that might pip the honda at the post... I wanna try them now!... so much indecision!... I've been told by fireball however that the two bikes I have kinda decided its between have to be the last two that I test ride lol!.... have been filling up my brain with info n specs... asking opinions on certain machines etc... maybe a little too much... I was thinking bikes before I fell asleep last night... I have bikes on my brain lol!

anyhow... *rant*.... That is one sexy beast!!... Enjoy!!

Bikes are rather addictive eh.. I finally got a good night sleep now that I have made a decision. The worst part is just before you have your 6F and know what you want to test but can't. Especially when your old bike is in bits.
