Goodness me, I appear to have suffered an attack of fiscal imprudence

Nice looking machine. Why did you choose it over everything else you test rode?

$6500.

Full Ohlins fruit, and the head's just been scrubbed up by Engine Specialties and had new intake valves.

It'll go up on TardMe once it's properly bolted back together in a week or so...

A. Comfy.

B. Torque.

C. Black.

D. Purdy.

E. Cheap.

It just kinda pushes all the buttons, y'know?

Now here goes a man with great taste. Excellent choice

I'll PM ya but mine is completely standard, ideal for the Coro GP as long as you do the suspension adjustments I've done. All I've done to mine is run it in poperly, but not too soft and I threw on a Scorpion can to get rid of the overweight, car exhaust can.

The standard suspension settings let the whole package down but once adjusted you'll have a ball in the tight stuff and the open sweepers.

It's an awesome machine. I've clocked nearly 50,000kms on these bikes and love them and they do everything you want in comfort.

Good choice mate.

Damn, never liked em in blue n white but that just screams attitude. Another one to add to my next bike list.

Awesome mate,have a hoot.

Good price. Pity I can't afford it.

If I was to get a bike that was what I need, I'd get something like that. However, I'm easily lured by fashion and awesomeness so I'll always end up wanting sportier things. It's a habit I don't like but can't break. Bikes are more of a passion thing anyway.

Yup.

The '02 I test-rode left me thinking "Bentley engine, Two Dollar Shop suspension".

It felt like bad adjustment, and the nice man at Colemans reassured me that appropriate twiddle-knobs were present, so I didn't let it dissuade me.

mmmmmm very nice. Was wondering what you'd end up with. No more knee ache eh!

Always helps to have the wind to remind you you're entering instant loss of licence range. Noticed that on the Z750 I took for a spin. At 160 you feel like you're going a lot faster than on a faired bike.
