    10-1 the piston melts.

    Drain the oil tank and put Motul710 in there if you want to give the engine a chance

    What's a Street Magic? If it's got two wheels who cares but the route pixie gave you is *almost* right.

    At the front end add .... Go south to Turangi, then around the bottom of the lake, out past Kuratau and up the western lake road to Whakamaru .....

    Hell ... go south to Wellington and then .... Bluff?

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    This is a awsome ride .... but on the street?? might get a little frustrating unless it got NO5?
    Been to a Cold Kiwi about 5 years ago and passed a guy on a nifty fifty at the start of the desert road, found out later that he rode it down from Tauranga and then back in something like 12hr each way!! when I passed him he was doing the old leg push up a hill!

    If you do it.... take a back up crew who can take lots of before and after pictures and pray for a tail wind

    Goodbye Pork Magic??


    The alternative is to ride it onto the train and then off again in Auckland... Still very much like Pork Pie though!

    Sounds like a laugh either way!

    Wait for an open day in Taupo and ask someone to stuff in their trailer, or boot... or pop it on the packrack...

    Just plan to hit Auckland after 3 pm. Nothing moves on the southern motorway northbound for at least 4 hours after that.

    Cant ride 50's on the motor way its against the law. Other than that you would probbly seize it man. dont risk it.

    Wouldnt be on motorway at all, surely if i stopped at most towns for a 10min rest it would be alright for the engine. Those guys were riding around NZ on SJ50's to raise money for cancer and im pretty sure thats the same engine.

    In years to come you'll either be saying:

    "Remember that Taupo - Akld blast on The Magic - what a bloody laugh"

    or " I was TALKIN about riding a Street Magic from Taupo - Akld once. mumble mumble"

    Be interesting - DO IT

    Although what's wrong with commuting on the R6? it's not like you're trying to lane-split a goldwing...
