Come for a ride down the Nasho this Sunday, you'll most probably have the bike with the most HP, so that means you'll have to lead the pack and show us your panache.

"Panache" or brown pancakes :shock:

Seriously thinking about it, either Nasho or up north :?

(edit: I see the decision has been made!)

Out of interest, how tall are you? I'm 5'7" and can ride a 12R without major issue, it didn't really seem any higher than the 10R. If anything the seat was a little wider which made it effectively that little bit taller, but certainly nothing to worry about if you're a competent rider.

Also the other night I was talking to a guy with a ZX14 and noticed we were the same height, so I assume they're no dramas either.

Once you've ridden it for a couple of weeks you'll be used to it... remember how physically enormous a mid-capacity sportsbike felt after a 250?

I'm about 5'4" (up i'm a short ass). I did jump on Hoffy's 12 at the creek, :lol: Figured it's not for me :wink:
