No offense intended to 12 riders but all I can say is what a POS!!!, nearly ran up the back of a truck cause the brakes are so crap, steers like a bus with a flat, rattles like a box of spanners were left in the motor. Fuck I want my Zed bad now!!!

Re: The Last 2 weeks riding have been "interesting"
well, the date has been pushed back again (the State rep for Kawa will still have ringing ears after the serve he coped, same with the owner of the bike shop) and surprise surprise, they wanted the zx10 back for someone to test ride, so they have given me a 2001 ZX12 until my Zeddy arrives:

Re: The Last 2 weeks riding have been "interesting"
I hope your dealer is big and has some pull Plas cause after the inital shipment of bugger all they have even less arriving at the end of the month in Oz 
I wouldn't be surprised if Kwaka Aus want more but the new demand in the US and as always Europe outweighs the little market here

Re: The Last 2 weeks riding have been "interesting"
Well I got a call from the Kawa Aus state rep about 9.30 last night to say the boat now isn't due until 27/03 only an extra day, but it would be unlikely that I would have the bike before Easter.
BUT!!!!.....................
He is in the process of trying to arrange a transfer from another dealer to my dealer and IF they agree (after all they do basically buy the bikes from Big K) I could have the bike today or tomorrow, add in the $300.00 gift voucher he will give me for my dealer to use on what ever I want and I'm starting to remember why I love Kwaka's. It hasn't been a great situation, but at least I know they are trying.
