Thanks fellas, I see the ZX10's are very popular! I basically love all motorbikes, just some more than others
and I'll give a friendly nod to any motorcyclist I pass out in the middle of no-where. I guy came through Charters Towers last year on a CT 110 postie bike and he was fully loaded and 1/2 way around his lap of the continent! Having been a postie, I know they are only good for 90k/hr and that is downhill with a tailwind! Poor guy would have had a sore arse for a while but probably built up callouses!
I'm so eager for my road trip to Brisbane that I have already entered it into the GPS that came with the bike. I'm doing an oil change this weekend as I wouldn't have a clue what is in it and the seller said it was changed with it's last service which was a longer interval than I would leave a bike. She runs beautifully but I was very aware of the heat on my way back from Townsville so I'm glad I went for the big water cooled bike rather than the MT01 which was a sale that fell through. Those big air cooled twins suffer in this climate unless you want to take it extremely easy.
I know opinions are like arseholes and we all have one so choice of oil etc can be a topic of debate. I have gone for Motul 5100 which was not a cheap oil but if I can't afford to look after it I probably can't afford to have it. Any recommendations for oil for the ZX14 in the far North summer temperatures would be interesting but I thought I'd be pretty safe with the Kwaka dealer's suggestion for now.
Tyre choice is something I will shop around for when the time comes and I will have to buy from Townsville as prices and range are both ridiculous in small country towns. I have Pirelli Diablo Rosso's on at the moment and the front has only 800k on it.
Anyway, sure to be dropping in here frequently so I'll go catch some Z's, Al
