Nice, but where is the sheep skin..

Seriously, you'll have to let us know how it compares with the last model.......

Probably a bit difficult. Haven't got the right sized sheep and the seat is split into 2.

Will let you know what's what later

Nice one Marty, Randy red too. That would make it a whole 5% faster don't it.

You knew to buy the faster red one. Good for you!

I think you are right Team - red seems to look faster.

Luckily for you it is the only colour it comes in this year.

Congrats!

Interestingly, Red is the least favoured of all the colours here in the shakey Isles. According to the dealer, silver and blue are favourites followed by black then red.
There were so few red bikes imported that I had to wait till a new shipment came in from Nippon. The delivery docket taped to the front of the bike showed it came off the assembly line atb 08:48:08 on 19-07-06
Its only Monday and i'm itching

Suzi, you may know my sister and her husband - their from down Edithvale, not sure which chapter of the Ulysses they're in.

She rides a red VTR1000, he rides and Vulcan........

I have probably met them for sure.A mate of mine is president of the Tassie Thylacines,I am a member of that chapter.Good excuse to go for a fang around Tassie.
I only have time to go to the AGM,although will spend more time when I retire in about 10 years.

Hey Suzi,

Sorry - wont be there this time too many commitments after too many summers doing nothing around the home.

Will be at the NZ AGM in March in Gisborne though

Catch You

Looks really nice. I do think that the new rider protection cage does tend to spoil the lines somewhat tho.
