Took a longer than usual route home yesterday early evening from a relatives and had a wonderfull, exhilirating and 'screaming 'OH YES!!!' inside me skid lid on the Ninja.

It was the first time I really had a decent thrash in night conditions and what a rush! A totally new experience on the bike and one which I enjoyed way more than I thought I would.

I was even out today on it way after the sky piss made its presence known.

I have had 2 TVRs, Scooby, 20v Turbo Coupe and various other 4 wheeled adventures but nothing comes close to replicating the experience I have had in 2 1/2 months of owning my first bike.

Sorry about this being a pretty non specific thread but I just had to air my praises.

Bang for buck, it just does'nt get any better than this.

You cant beat the ZX6r for making you grin ,its a fantastic bike really am missing mine

If you want more light at night get a J1 top fairing with the twin lights , you could really keep up a pace they were that good , when i got the thunderace it only had 35w bulbs ! what bloody use are they for night time missions

Took the Duke out for a mid-winter whizz yesterday whilst the roads were dry. Two roads out of my estate and the front wheel was lifted to the applause of an oncoming 4x4 driver. I had almost forgotten how much adrenalin could be experienced in one hit! I had been out in a friend's Ferrari 360CS recently and even that wasn't quite the same. Whoever recently suggested that wheelieing was crap and that you were losing speed etc. etc. obviously has never tried one. When you get the balance right and snick second gear on the way up, the feeling is unrepeatable in any other vehicle. (OK maybe a barrel roll or loop in an F14!). Can't wait for the good weather now!

Yep me too. I was out on the Aprilia yesterday and what a buzz. Nothing comes close. Adrenalin galore.

Use mine everyday, makes going to work fun.
Its onlya CBR, but damn good fun in 3rd, even in the wet.

I spray mine down at work with cold water, which keeps it pretty clean, and salt free.
