For the avoidance of doubt, the Finn that Squiggles refers to is not me. I should be the last person you take instruction on how to ride a bike.

Jesus, ZX-10R, now that bike has got tons of balls.

What's going on with Kim and his big ass bikes?

Even Issac wouldn't have enough balls to ride a ZX-10....

Yeah bro I am not ghay anyone ... the Ninja really flies faster than the 929 and it has all the super mods with it. Gixxer is stock standard I might just modify the fairing and try put some CBR fairings

I haven't raised the clutch lever yet, maybe I've gotten use to it. The right hand brake lever looks if it can got a bit higher too.

I am gonna take take the side fairings off tomorrow and tighten the clutch cable nut, as at the moment it doesn't have enough slack. I like my clutch lever with a bit of slack but not like what is was on Sunday.

It's been quite awhile since I rode a naked, while trying your Hornet I felt farken high perched up like that and it's got really light steering compared to the 929.

Bro, let's get one thing clear, you were never a homo.

Have got any photos of the Ninja? Is this off Mt Eden or Trademe/secondhand?

I am guessing you haven't bought it yet...

Off Mt Eden's showroom. Put it this way you gonna be surprise when you see what I ride...yes I bought something already...

a kawondazuki?

zx10r motor in the gixxer chassis dressed up like the cbr?

would class as "surprise", and explains "Bike: Honda CBR929 --> Gixxer & Black ZX-10R"

1. I thought the clutch lever was angled too high up and should be pivoted down further like the brake lever...(my two cents).
2. Make sure you wind the clutch adjuster back to normal at the lever before you tighten the slack down at the engine-end of the cable.
3. I so wanted to open up your Blade on the runway and see what she had compared to the Hornet (20Hp difference is a lot - though I am skeptical if the difference is actually that big...?). Anyway, yeah two totally different bikes and feels.

I think the 929 is tuned for better mid to high range but with all your aftermarket bits on your hornet might just be equal till it reaches the top end....

Awesome day, was stoked to be able to do it on the viffer cause now it means I'm already confident moving a slightly bigger bike around at low speed and knowing what the braking ability is, exactly what I needed on a new bike.

Yeah - I've haven't been able to get more than an indicated 230-240kph out of the Hornet (tested on a race track of course for all the PC Nazis). CBR should blast well past that.
