New Kwaka for me. :)

Bought her today. Brand spankers. 0km. I thought that they were a LAMS bike but found out today that they aren't. This is the bike I'm gonna use in future to test people for R class licences upon. Gonna do some customising to make it a bit more crashable- get rid of sidecovers/front indicators/ headlight/ bar ends and mirrors for cheaper items. Either make some crashbars or fit factory knobs. :D

Noice !!! :D Will be ultra reliable. Footpegs are a bit fragile in low speed/stationary drops ( $90 ea. ). Factory knobs / ogg y's will help protect a fair bit of side damage. Very user friendly for newbies ! :kuda:

Mate I luv it already. Rode a friend of mines ages ago and thought it would be a good replacement for my GT except for the seat which is a bit hard- will soon fix that too. :lol: Was looking to buy a 650 Hyosung, but the Kwaka ended up $700 dearer- money well spent I reckon. Hyos aren't too flash.

Just trying to update mate. Most of my bikes are 1989- 96 or so.

I think you Definitely made a good choice going for the kwaka over the hyo. Much better looking.
