[Phil]

i've ridden one of those, a few sportbikes may be in for a shock i'm tipping. they can be rowed along at a fair clip tho ol rs.

you old git

[Wattie]

i will admit, that most bmw's including the mothership k1200LT probably have a better lean angle than an 04 Z1000, but how does abs go when you have the back wheel skipping above the ground?? haha

Yeah....Hoffy reckons it's too fast to take on the 12 on the old road! He mentioned something about changing the venue to Kwinana or E.C. dragstrip! He mumbled something about the 80 hp of the beemer being way too much to take on!

The older git writ.........."i've ridden one of those, a few sportbikes may be in for a shock i'm tipping. they can be rowed along at a fair clip tho ol rs.

Thnx Phil! I am starting to feel that way! Faark I hope it rides like a bucket of puss in the twisties! That way the 9 will still get some use!

I'll pick it up sometime next week when I get a chance to do a REVS check and also have the time to get back up there to pick it up! It comes with a RWC so all I have to do is transfer it this time rather than having to get a RWC like I did with the 9.

I may even ride it up to sydney on the next trip if I can get hold of a suitable top box beforehand! I have been surfing around for them too. found these really neatly styled ones for $250. Not cheap, but they are really sleek, and they have a contoured integrated backrest for the pillion which attracted the brides attention! Otherwise I can spend 160 and buy and R-jays! Anyone know what those R-jays things are like??

Nice bike, those. Congratulations.

[Gosling1]

Bloody !! now you gotta comfy bike for eating up even *more* kays on them long road trips !!!

Congratulations mate, Phil is right about these twins, they can be rowed along at a great pace - I have chased an R1100RS on more than 1 occasion, on the 12, and been embarrassed ( at least on the downhill run !! )

Looking forward to seeing the new bimmer soon - but you are too young for even associate membership of Ulysses............aren't you ??

Fark Gos!! Have I told ya that I love ya like a brother brother!!!!!! Too young for assoc membership! Love ya!

Dunno about the rowing mate! This one is for sedate one and two up touring! You know, grab the bride on a friday arvo, be in Bright for dinner, then two days touring around the alps stopping at every scenic spot (to cool the brakes most likely) and be able to take the hairdryer too! As well as Melbourne sydney and return commutes when possible!

I am already planning it's maiden (for me) voyage! I plan to depart melbourne on Friday 11th of may about 6pm, and be in Sydney by 5pm on Sunday the 13th! Not sure which way I will go at this stage, but a road I know well, to get to know the beemer is probably the most likely choice! So maybe the supers run in reverse or the Cathcart run! I wanna make sure i can deck the rocker covers before I get to the Old rd, otherwise Hoffy is gunna have a field day with the 100 and it's 80hp!

Well done mate .... looks like a beauty

It kind of reminds me of the old joke about the New Zealand farmer who just got busted by his neighbour rooting a sheep....

"Yeah mate, but you picked an ugly one!"
