Welcome Keith,

Noice steed you have there.. and it's named as one of the top in AMCN this month! Actually it's the only Kwaka listed :( but still from all the reviews and hype they shit over overything else for a sporty tourer.

How long have you had it? What did you have prior?

..hmm and Grafton aye.. there's some awesome dirty trails up your way :twisted:
It all comes down to how you ride it.....

That's Possum for the comments mate had the bike for three weeks now and love the green machine have got the setting on full traction control and low power to try to restrain myself lookout in the wet weather. I did have a ZZR 250 about ten years ago one of the first models but do not quote me on that.

Yeah there's something about green :roll: ;) .. but you'll have your hands full with that one. There's quite a few floating around on here.
Considering I can touch the ground I wouldnt mind taking one out just to see for myself..
Take care + enjoy :kuda:

Possum I have never touched the ground mate even on my old bike i still had about a inch or so of fresh tyre on the edge of it but things can change. The traction control is something different had a good experience on a local ferry crossing where the end of the ferry ramps where wet when leaving turn the throttle on and she stalled on me that was a show but we got going again.

Ahoy Keith!
I am presently sitting in lovely Grafton atop the Roche's Family Hotel, sipping coffee and preparing for my return journey to Sydney with my newly purchased Ninja 650R.

Second time I've been here, I could get used to this town I tells ya =)

Hey keith,welcome to Team Green Central.........I reckon the ferry could be in Lawrence.....I'm in Casino mate,do you deal with the clowns at Lismore Bikeworx,if not ,
I reckon you should.they're a good bunch for sure....Again welcome.

Hey greenmeanie....I've seen numerous bikes dumped on both those roads,of all sizes.ZX14 is actually one of the last i would choose to punt
on either of those roads.......Maybe I'm gettin' more "girly" as i'm gettin' more mature ??? hat36.gif

No offence Ladies!! :cheesy:
