Not this time. Did it last year in slightly dodgy weather - the road was quite slippery in places. There's a few corners up in the back of there eh? Would like to do it again in better weather - maybe next year after the Southern X...

well the 1200 has not been taken in to PT's yet (guy might have changed his mind about trading on a brand new one) & owner of the 600 has someone else interested .. since I want to test ride a few bikes before choosing & do not want to rush that decision ...

hmm where is a 1200 that i can ride ????? whitlock suzuki has a couple in at the mo .. just waiting for tony jury in pahiatua to call back & see if they have any

sooooooooooooooooo test riding tomorrow .. not sure where thats taking place yet ...but the track/mangamarie could be a good testing ground

Bugger, I wonder if Whitlock's have a 1250 demo?
Called into Dannevirke Suzuki today and they have a 1250 but they have'nt wet it up cause it's not a demo either. It's a non-abs version at $14k but in that price is $500 accessories or what ever and an aftermarket exaughst too.

here is one of tomorrows test rides has a high price cause he is not worried if it sells or not .. he has been racking up the ks on this one .. so will haggle on price

Blah,blah,blah,sales pitch for shit we traded it for more than it's worth,so best we get our dough back,rather than sell at loss and free up capital,your in the no trade demanding discount part of buying,cash or hp not an issue but no trade is your weapon to get a few $$$ off.

Has been there for a while too.

For: Luggage (old style though), low k's

Against: 3 generations old - have only had a brief ride on one of these and they don't handle like the later ones. A mate of mine had one and he pootled about two-up sweet as though (he has seen sense and got a Connie now though). He even did the GC on it - no probs of course!

I know it has .. & he has racked up over 3,000 ks on it .. so he has been using it .. still its a 1200 that I can try .. & then swap for the 05 model as a difference
