i was the only person wearing a KSRC t-shirt, It was not the best of days so i cant except the excuse of "i was out riding". I went thinking i would meet some KSRCians at the kawasaki stand or putting shit on the other types of bikes, but nothing.
It was the kwaka stand at 11.00 was it not. While I was there I caught up with Dave, Jus, Frank, Dave#3, Cath and Burky.
You probably would have seen more people around the Kwaka stand if it hadn't been totally shit
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

I saw quite a lot of KSRC members in the morning and there was a few there in the arvo... you must have been hiding..
We even had 3 on stands. Nick on the Kawi stand, Pink Angel on the Stariders stand and Buckets on the Snowy tours stand..

I was still there then as were Dave and Cath I think. Must've been at different stands. I was ogling the Aprilia Shiver for a while

I'm a visionary Dave. It was the only bike I could find that would be flat out on the Bells at 80km/h.

I think you'll find it will just be a detuned blade motor with cheaper internals in the supsenders lower rent brakes and a steel tube chassis just as the Z's are!!!!

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

I'd be surprised, it'd be a backwards step from the Hornet with its "Mono-Backbone frame" (yes, that's what Honda calls it) .
Well it appears to be the same sort of design as the Hornet, check the specs here: http://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/2008 ... index.html and the single-sided swingarm is pretty sweet. Alas I could never own one as it is cursed with a truly hideous exhaust.
I don't know wtf drugs the Honda engineers are on, but that's the most god-awful piece-of-proverbial-shite farking butt-ugly exhaust/shroud/cover whatever-the-fark-it-is I have ever had the misfortune to clap my sad and sorry eyes on.
What a bloody abortion on a bike that looked to have a bit of promise .
