Yeah yeah yeah... I just decided everything else was a compromise and not really what I wanted.

06 model, 14k on the clock, 13 months rego, $13k ready to roll.... and comes with all the stuff I'd have fitted... exhaust, PCM, and a rack. Not exactly a steal but I think it's a pretty fair price considering they were about $17k ride away new last year and there's a good $1500 of bits on it.... $18.5k bike, two years old, $13k.... ruff enuff and this little camper is happy.

And if anyone doesn't thinkit's a good buy, keep it to yourself or I'll kick you in the nuts.

i dont think its a good buy!

shall i assume the position

Can I watch

You would think that mate, blardy ten owners... why doncha buy a real bike?

Must say I did like that red one on ebay a few weeks back, but it'd be instantly recognisable as someone else's old bike and I like the idea of buying closer to home... the dealership is about 3 minutes from my office. Like most big dealers they have a debatable reputation but four of the five staff I dealt with were professional & knowledgeable... the other one was a bit of an amateur and didn't know much but hey you gotta start somewhere!!

Meanwhile, having ridden it twice in the rain in one day... farkin!

good buy mate, its got the goodies which is what ya want. Pics

As requested

Poor lighting and it's all wet'n'dirty but hey you get the general idea

Mate I'm soon to be in a similar boat to you and have narrowed my focus down to the ZRX1200 and CB1300, I figure what I save on the initial outlay I can spend on exhaust and suspension improvements. That said CB1300's have been discontinued.

down sandgate road getting a trailer made up to tow behind your barge ?

Congrats on the new steed Shifty! She's very sexy!

Great work Shifty !! You will not be dissapointed in your new steed..........the 12's just have *the lot*. Go as fast as anything else out there, in fact faster than most.

Handle great, especially once you get sag / preload and rebound all dialled in.

Comfortable around town and short-haul fanging. The seat does tend to grow (small) teeth after a few hours, and you may also find that the throttle hand gets a few tingles on a *long* trip.

Watch the tyre wear ! I have fitted a 2CT to the rear, on Strika's advice, and so far its been great.

F8ck me, tyre wear? There's no way it can have worn out that fast....! Ack!
