Need a new bike

**zeocen** · 21st April 2011, 20:05

When I was deciding between a CB600 and Predator, there were only 3 or so new Predator's in Auckland and they were all in that hideous "Dragon Green". I was glad I liked the CB600 more otherwise I'd have to travel to Hamilton or even further to find a better colour! :P

I drooled over one in Kaitaia last year. Love the look, have heard a couple of nice ones and reckon they'd be a lot of fun. Just no good for Grand Challenges...

fully agreeing, but we all need three bikes to cover all the bases. edit: five.

shame we didn't get the MT-03 over here. the perfect NZ road hooligan.

I did thoroughly enjoy commuting on the 1250S Bandit and it's got impressive acceleration from any speed in top gear, smooth like an electric motor. Narrower than many for effective splitting, handles great, brilliant brakes, looks great! Do try it, like the Tea ad says...

**DR650gary** · 21st April 2011, 21:13

TDM900.

Try it, you'll like it!

All suggestions aside, it's hard to improve on a GSX 14 all round.
