Easy tiger! I was out on it last weekend! Work has been kinda draining, considering I'm full on at my normal job, and running my own business on the weekends! I only have so much time! :( I haven't even had my Mazda out in anger for almost 8 months.

Hoping to go for a bit of a blat this weekend actually. Might head up the coast. :lol:

We'll have to catch up!

I see that thing on the back is called a seat COVER. Does that mean the seat is always there and that bit of plastic just covers it over to make it look good? That might be why it looks a bit bulky when its on there. :(

just tried to compare the photos from the website. The rear cowl is wierd. Not sure if it replaces the seat or covers it but the cowl covers the ducktail that is beside the seat aswell. You can see it in the photos with the bike on a 45* angle when you flick back and fourth.

in fact I'd go as far as saying that I think it looks better with the seat on than the cowl..


looking at them side by side though its clear that it is a cowl, not a cover. the rear pad wouldn't fit under the cowl.

this bike is looking very very hot.

seriously looking at these, any ETA on when we will start seeing them here? march next year?

Hmmmm. I wonder if a special edition model (closer to the initial tease adverts) will follow with wheels and rotors shown, Brembos, exhaust and that great swingarm..... Would be nice if they did :)

I just want them to release the molds to a 3rd party company for that full carbon fibre fairing they had on the test bike :) CF + kawasaki green highlights (similar to monster edition zx6r) would be freaking hot.

If I do buy this bike I'll be aiming for the black one and doing that same thing, taking off the red rim-tape and putting green on, along with some other speccy green bits...
