New guy from Darwin

Hey guys and girls I'm from Darwin and am the current owner of a 2012 ZX6 after destroying my GSXR600 earlier in the year (funny how ability doesn't always match ambition....) Anyways, so far I've added Double bubble screen, ixil slip on pipe and a hot bodies under tail with integrated indicators (was 6hrs worth of pain, but it looks awesome) have got shorty levers and hal lines waiting to go on when i get a chance. I just bought a VFR400, with an xt600 motor as a track bike but really enjoying the ninja on the roads. Anyways, I look forward to chatting with a few of you and hopefully getting some good ideas.

the ninja.

Nice, even got my race number on it!

welcome greeny!

So, as I've seen in other introductions, people like to see some background stuff. So here I go, my first road bike was an 09 ninja 250. It had a green hotbodies screen, yoshimura slip on and fender eliminator

I then upgraded to an 09 GSXR600, with fender eliminator, black double bubble screen, crash knobs, ixil slip on and shorty levers. Last dyno'd at 114hp@ wheel. Not bad for stock

This met an ugly death due to an off camber, downhill, double apex left hander out the back of Canberra.
Final damage report was: every fairing scratched or cracked, both rims destroyed, both tyres destroyed, forks and frame bent, fuel tank relocated 1-2" rearwards as a result of the frame bending upwards. Damage to me: a few bruises and a sore neck. Only bit of gear needing replacing was the helmet. The hardest part was looking at my pride and joy in pieces.

I then replaced my baby with a 2012 ZX6 as shown above and couldn't be happier. I prefer the looks of the GSXR, but to ride, definitely prefer the ninja.
