Congrats Macca look very nice !! I'd be interested in your thoughts on it after you rack up some miles on her comparing it with the 08 model with regards to road use ect.
Imo the only advantage over the 08-10 model on the road is ABS , TC , styling ,and the fact that it will do 310+ km/h
...Fuk all really
.... yes i want one badly

Congratulations on the new acquisition.
If this bike doesnt impress you I doubt much will, it is deceptively quick and steering it is a thought process
The standard gearing is quite high and that is something I have changed.

If electronic gadgetry and latest tech confuses you then you simply need to turn off that interweb thingy (gandkids can help with this) and look the other way now
Yeah idiotic middle aged men looking for their lost youth.... tut tut

Hi all,
I also agree, there are a few small things I would like to change,, and probably will in time as I have a good mate who is a spray painter..!! and that flat black tank marks very easily too..!!
Still not a lover of the rim tape.. any thoughts there..??

I like it, looks mean.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the indicators on the mirror. Seems as though the bike manufacturers have taken a leaf out of the car builders by putting indicators on the mirror. My Subaru Liberty is a great example.
Anyone ever seen the indicators on the the bar ends?
Also agree on the black. Nice one!
