Re: Back from hiatus

Surprisingly it is quite light! Feels a few kg's lighter than my 2010 z1000...

Probably about the same power wise as well but I'm not sure if the sprockets are stock tooth wise.... all it wants to do is lift the front wheel!

The seat itself ...

Haven't had a lot of time for motorcycling but decided I couldn't live without a working one!

So I bought this (I know it's not a kwak but I've always wanted one!)

Re: Looking at this beast....

Re: Looking at this beast....

Lots of fun and learning ahead - after a quick ride I think my problem is fuel/ carb related not electrical which is fine!

Just waiting for my workshop manual and the work can begin :mrgreen:

Re: 2013 300 vs 2009 250

I've ridden both and the 300 is a far better bike in my opinion! For the relatively small price difference the 300 will keep you happy for much longer.. imo

Re: What would you get?

Jap car is looking likely.... Don't think I can afford a manual turbo liberty with reasonable ks though? That would be nice though .... 3.0l liberty's are hard to come by...

What would you get?

Well I've sold my zed and now I'm looking for a cage!

It's sad but a new bike will be on the horizon in the not too distant future.... :D

I wouldn't mind a comfortable cage. I have a max of $11k to spend...

To give you some idea of what I'm looking at I've considered

05-07 liberty either a 2.5 ...
