Traded my FZ6-N in today. Was my first bike, had since Aug to play about on with the idea that I'd trade up around now.
Went and put a deposit on this baby today, pick up next week, can't wait!!! 8-) :D

Good choice mate, given the choice I would have one or the zx10. Not the new 06 jobbie that looks like its got a J-lo arse.

My thoughts too, had to be the last of the side exhaust shapes! :D
Cheers Nice and Paul! :D Got tired of seeing all these sportbikes looking superb going past, so its time I joined in the fun!
So any tips on removing your Autocom jobbie - should it be relatively straightforward?

That information will cost you :P Neh mate just follow all of the leads and cut the cable ties off, just make sure where I have taken the power from it is well insulted to stop any sparks. But a man like you should know that anyway. Would you like a refit at all sir?
hehe another sportsbike joins the fold...I sooo need to save up or get my hands on some money!

Get out on those streets and pimp your arse out or something as you will only regret it! ;)

hehe I'm still trying to recover from buying a new car, only just afforded the bandit :( Might put the bandit up for sale in a few months though and see what I can get cheap...seen some nice sportsbikes for dirt cheap prices lately

Dabz, seriously though, it doesn't really matter! At the end of the day somebody might have the latest greatest bike but then still ride a lot slower than somebody with a 20 year old bike.
I am sure that you will be able to stick with most people (well up to 90ish anyway) and it will only be the straight line hero's that will use the extra power of a sportsbike.
yeh good point - my main issue at the moment is getting some more confidence through the twisties...I'm still VERY slow round roundabouts and tighter corners, but I think that's just down to a year off the bike and coming back to it when the roads are a bit slippy
just wanna get riding more...in all honesty I know I can't afford a sportsbike unless an amazing offer came through for the bandit, so I'll be happy using the 120ccs tht I've got :P

LOL! Cool - should be relatively easy then :) I gotta dismantle the rear of the bike to remove the cans anyway!
I may well require a refit (might have a bash myself - depends how much time I have) but I'll give you a shout if so - cheers mate :D 8-)

Ok I will go and lock myself away and improve my spelling...............there is nothing wrong with shouting at your bike though :-/

02-03-06, 11:10 AM
Nah - I didn't shout at the cables - but I did at the 3,756 cable ties Rich had used!!! ;D ::) :o :P
:D
All removed now so jobs a good un!
Rich - finally got the Schuberth!!!!! ::) Just need to decide whether to get another headset so I have one in each lid or to just transfer it from the old one! Decisions decisions!
Also got the Scorpion cans removed now - bike sounds crap :( :'( At least I only have to ride it once like that!
Scott - was much easier and quicker than when we fitted them too!!!! LOL!

02-03-06, 11:17 AM

Yeah, it was kinda payback for helping fit the Hiper to the Scoob! And a great help he was too :D
Was I surprised - YES!!!!! :P :o ;D
(but only going on how much he said he was a numpty at things like that as he doesn't normally do it!)

Bugger I thought I used 3,757 dont tell my MD I missed one off or I will get kicked out!!!! :'( :-/
Dont be a tight wod buy a new headset, saves a lot of hassle to. £35 to you chap :P
Scott actually helped you
WTF
did he pass you the spanners or the cups of tea! :-? :o ;D
Scott_W
02-03-06, 01:37 PM
The Hyper was a lot lot easier to fit as well! Although, that was a bloody cold day if I remember right! The upshot of fitting the Hyper was you Neil getting a lovely sounding Hayward & Scott back box as well (which I remember also helping to fit :o)
Shame Neil ended up selling the car not long after though.....
