A picture a day....biker banter (Vol 4)

[Djkirk3000]

Fitted a new screen last night, Should probably be fitted a screen the original item only offered wind protection to the clocks.

impressed with how it looks though. need to take it out for a test ride now.

BMW F800R, I don't think I'm really their target market being 25 but the rookie to rider deal was just what I needed to get me onto two wheels.

Good choice, reminds me of a TRX850

BN - it's not.

Having been loaned a F800R it's very competent, don't get me wrong but a little dull. TRX is more 'eager' in most areas and has the 180 deg crank note too.


AKDC - agree this makes a cracking 1st big bike, comfy with plenty of go, handling & brakes for most people.

Lovely bike! Was this bought from a Kawasaki dealership? I ask as I saw someone loading one into the van after removing half the bits to fit it in and you're hasn't got the screen or mirrors attached.

That was me

After the 100 mile drive home

Why did you disassemble it to put it in, when it fits in assembled?

(or are you just a mentalist!!!)

[Janluke]

Thats the most expensive and impressive ramp I've ever seen!

I've got it together, just need to take the original off the bike then fit the new one.

[skahigh]

Seems to be loads of new riders this year? Great stuff

Glad it made it back okay! I was the one who finished riding the Z900 as Gareth brought your bike out! They won, I traded the er6 in...

Yours is a beautiful bike, I'll show them the pictures when I get mine next Saturday

R&G one for a Street Triple?

I sent the first one back because the bolt holes were on the piss, the second wasn't much better.
Then modified it so it fitted the rear light properly (you'll see what I mean when you try). I was told to just use more force to fit it, but that wasn't going to change much.

End result is good.
