The green colour, and the front guard are sufficiently heinous that it's difficult to form an unbiased opinion about the rest of it.
Although I do like the chequerplate carrier/aerodynamic pod/whatever it is. I think teh sherp could do with one of those

Hi Pete,
Here is a useful link, to see what parts have changed
http://www.kawasaki.com/Products/pro...ns.aspx?id=358
click on accessories to the right and the you can see the parts listings, all the ones in red have a superceded part number, boy there are heaps. What pipe did you end up with? Gary

What bend Renthals do you have on your Tranny? It appears that they have a lot of height.

Still sorting the Husa FE600 out as a lightweight adventure bike of sorts.

Call me crazy. Crap range on tankful but nice 'n light with plenty of power.

Just slapped a Vapor on and looking for a larger petrol tank (or auxilliary petrol tank). Working to get it registered for the road as well.

In the meantime, there's always the GS to get around.

nice GS Jim - that luggage looks just the ticket for carrying your gourmet wine and cheeses - have a great Christmas and the odd 'dark and stormy' for me - cheers Aslan

Oh, go on if you insist.....

This is my bike set up for a camping trip (in other words a tent strapped to the back).

Not many mods, Scott oiler, Hepco .... crash bars (I got those after hitting a sheep in Awakino Gorge), and KTM hard luggage panniers.

Next mods, I would like a GPS unit, unfort the Akrapovic pipes are nice too pricey with the way the dollar has gone (although I know where I can get a set for free - isn't that right Crisis!!)
