Finding The One - bike that is :)

Post by GPZ_Jim »

Yesterday I bought me a nice green - its a dark green, not proper kwacka green :~( ER-5.. it felt sooo perfect :D I was expecting it to be a little bit slower (10HP down on the GPZ), a bit more fluffy n squishy ride wise.. the result was totally opposite of what I was expecting!!The power I'm really happy with since it has more midrange and thats where I run it most of the time, cornering grip & especially feel is excellent, its like it just wants MOAR!! more lean, more speed more everything :D

I so totally get the whole nekkid bike thing now too! really pumped for gingers now! :kuda:
