    Don't ask me why I bought that yesterday. 
    Seemed like a good idea at the time.

    Nice. I've got a soft spot for big Kwackas. Be like a rocket-ship compared to the Harley - though I'm probably telling you something you already know :-). How's the riding position?

    The riding position is the only complaint I have with the bike.
    Because you're leaning forward there is a bit of weight on your hands and wrists. It was never a problem with the ZZR1100 but I might have put on a couple kilos since then !
    I'm thinking 2 inch risers would help but I will leave it the way it is for a while and see if I get used to it.

    Too old for track days Hilly.
    Just bought it for when I'm in the mood for a blast.
    It's great to have the choice. 
    I forgot how quick the fuckers go !

    It's a fair old rush as the revs come up, I still remember 😁

    G'day beaglebasher ,
    you don't have to race on track days.
    This and this weekend's Bathurst races reminded me when I went around Mt. Panorama. Driving a 1982 Kombi with my darling navigating, :) and the kids in the back and sticking to the speed limit, just in case.
    From memory, it took about 10 mins, we were held up by some road work across the top and the local harriers club coming the wrong way up conrod. 
    It was fun and I can say I drove around the track. 
    Remember, its cheaper and safer to give it a fang on track days than it is on the local road/highway/freeway.
