It's out!!!!!!

[rictus01]

Having brought it on the 12th of December and not used it, I was proud of my self control, however owing to some serious noises coming from the SV cam chain tentioners I've had to retire it a week early.

So, IT'S OUT :shock: , quick throttle and all, didn't have the time I'd planned for the niceties, but practicality has overridden everything.

truly a beast of a bike.

Small children and anyone with a medical condition beware :twisted:

Here's the view most will see of it (me included if I don't watch myself)

gricey

don't know yet, can't spray as it's to cold at the moment, although I do have another set of body work for it.

and as for the " triggers broom" comment are you refering to engine changes? if so it's got a tuned 139 bhp lump in it at the moment which will be more than enough.

or if you mean a few trick mods, well watch this space :!: ( already started).

Sorry Tim, but that picture does you no favours, and we all know that you're only gorgeous so get anther snap quick before anyone notices.

:lol:

[Damien]

Very nice Mark. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

& I remember you telling me you got the SV to slow you down. God knows what you're going to be like on that beast!

[rictus01]

Oh OK, I couldn't help it! :D

As for me looking gorgeous!? I think your cataracts have have got worse than you thought!! :lol: :lol:
I can't get any more photos of it yet as it is already back at the dealers being repaired! :cry: :cry: :cry:
However, I have found another photo from the day I collected it and I do look somewhat better in it as well!! :lol:

I know what you mean Mark - every time I see that photo it takes me a few minutes to realise that I am in it too!! :lol: :lol:

P.S: I love that exhaust!! I can't wait to see & hear it!! :D :D :D

[Sid Squid]

Yeah, you look way better in that pic, much better.

[Sid Squid]

Well, good choice of bike Lee, but what happened to the paint, once the factory was done with the primer did they lose interest or something?

Now if they'd finished and it was green...

Annoying the neighbours [and anyone else in a 2 mile radius.. damn that bike is loud :shock: ] -- JonToms on the right of the pic' on his MINT and extremely BLIIIIING CBR.... Niiiice... 8)




Bloody Hooligans! :wink:

[rictus01]

Been there done that, had a zx9 bit like this,but without all that white on it, and a nice dark tint screen.

good bike, but I go way to fast with a fairing :shock:

Cheers Mark.

[rictus01]

Nice :)

Be good to have a chat again in the near future Mark, I always enjoy having a chat and trying to learn something from you, it's not hard, seeing as my knowledge is... well, like reading a Beano compared to you, the Oxford dictionary of bikes 8)

L

Dad was a bike nut all his life, I've been that way for 30 odd years, you pickup a thing or two.

alway at Soho or the Selkent meets, call in some time.

you lot still meet up in Guildford? may pop down when I get some free time.

Cheers Mark.

[rictus01]

Got to tame the beast yet :!:

http://www.bureaunet.com/FTP/Rictus/beast.jpg

to be honest, what with the bigger rear sprocket and the quick throttle, I could quit easily out corner it on the SV at the moment, throttle control has to be so precise it's going to take some work to get used to.

so a month of commuting and a new set of tyres should see me right, if not I'll bin the quick throttle and fit a standard.

Cheers Mark.

[Sid Squid]

Trying to decide what colour to get 'her' resprayed actually, it's either gonna be Kwak green with a black belly pan and some sponsors stickers or black all over... Either way, got to get those wheels off and powder coated black!

Now just let me gently make you aware of my feelings on the subject of painting Kawasakis:

GREEN !

Like this would be good:

Kawasaki Endurance racer, coolest bikes ever, no argument.

Go on now, off you go and get on with it, and don't take too long.

[Jelster]

But green kwacks are like blue & white Gixers, everybody's either got one or had one... We need some individualism here !!! (Mark is a prime example :lol: )

.

[Jelster]

Steve: sounds like the jealous words of someone who wishes they hadn't bought another Suzuki... ;)
I said....

Mine's black, so it sits outside of the "Chav bike" catagory :lol: :lol:

Sorry, but I'm with Dr Squid on this one, it's got to be GREEN

Cheers Mark.

[rictus01]

Mark: How many ponies does that beast push out at the rear wheel?

if you beleive the dyno sheets that came with it, 138.9

and having just got in from a blat back down the motorway, it's insane :!:

it might not have flattened my eyeballs into the back of my head, but it sure felt like it.

it's geared down for acceleration and up to 100, you just hang on (it made both my shoulders hurt) with a vice like grip.


Cheers Mark.

[lynw]

We need some individualism here !!! .

and look what happens when you go individual when painting bikes.... :shock: :oops: :lol: cbaarrgh nuff said I think.... :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

but with Ian on the kwak.... that is one nice bike.... and green is a must....
