ooo oooo mr peevley mr peevley I like it !!


thats nice...


doesnt that gravel stick to yer wheels/tyres though and do yer head in when u riding? or is that not your house?

I see a lake etc and a stately home..
isthere a cafe- I mean - pic one- top right- just look at the size of the cafe squeezy tomato ketchup bottle in the shape of a tomato!!

[instigator]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Finished all the tomato sauce though, only keep wood in it now :( :!:

Gravel is alright, its the huge potholes that's the problem! :(

[The Basket]

Very nice...the correct colour.
Is it comfy?
What MPG?
What year?
Can I have it?

[Quiff Wichard]

I like the twin exhausts- I think it looks a great bike..
there is a yellow one near me - just dont like the yellow.

[Quiff Wichard]

is that yer house then or work?

[instigator]

My parents house, keep it here because I have a garage! Upgraded from the ninja and it's still under £500 tpft for a 21 year old with 1ncb :) On a restricted license *cough*

Erm, it's a 2000 mode, came with original exhausts but I couldn't take them with me (bloody heavy!!) 17k miles, 3 previous owners, FSH (some diy) £1900 on ebay. As it standas at the moment, it's far too loud even for a vtwin lover like me, so I do need to swap them for something with removeable baffles. It get's EVERYONE'S attention in the city centre. You just can't ride the thing quietly. :shock: :D :cry:

It's comfy, aye, sometimes I do think "ouch, my wrists" but then I sit more upright and I'm fine. Fine on the 1 hour commute in the mornings, absolutely no bother! Mpg is probably around 42mpg and thats because I am a reasonably cautious rider. I prefer to bimble but when I want power, I want lots of it (hence why I sold the sv ;))

Yes, you can have it. For a fee ;) Not that it's for sale or anything!!!

[Quiff Wichard]

keep it-
its ace
nice house too!!! will be yours one day !!....hopefully a long time away

Cor Blimey, strike a light and other such U graded phrases!!!

Nice 8)

Instigator...I dont know what book price is but I would have been dead happy paying that price for it. It looks great, the black suits it so well. A very under estimated bike you have there and with a 1000cc motor that is only just about loosening up. Get the tyres and suspension sorted to yourself and you will have miles of smiles! :) Ok so tank range isn't brill but when is it ever on a Vee? Enjoy my friend!

4th bike from ebay :lol: Only travelled from glasgow to hull this time!

The engine is lovely and it's actually a lot lighter than I thought it would be. Quite thing too, the zx6r is a whale compared to it. Headlight is diabolical but apart from that, I'm very happy with it.

The suspension and tyres at the moment are as good as I need, I have literally jsut finished removing the stickers off it, now it's jsut plain black. The red/purple fairing bolts will be replaced with standard black/silver ones and the iridium screen will be replaced with a tinted Db screen. :)

[Andy13_uk]

looks nice, im going from brighton to warwick today to see a SV650s K2 so hopfully get it, when i brough my RS i had to travel about 5 miles and was exactly how i wanted it (im quite picky)lol

Glad you got the stickers off and making it look much better, get some pics up of the "new imporved VTR"!

Good....was thinking how i would remove the stickers if i owned that bike.

[jamieclayton9]

[instigator]

Remove the Number Plate...easy clone job.

And a ZX-6 too!!! or is it a 9?

Oh this just gets worse :cry:

[Peter Henry]

Hey I've seen that art deco garage door before I'm sure! :) :)

[instigator]

There's always one that mentions the garage door. You come up and paint it!! :lol:

The ninja is a zx6r, tried to sell it but I know I'd only lose money on it. Going to try and keep it and add it to my insurance company. Nice bikes for a 'skint' student. :lol:

As much as I like the vtwin, I'd use the zx6r for the days when the weather is a bit cr*p or when I feel the need for red lining the engine (find it more satisfying on an IL4)

[The Basket]

What's a realistic price for the kwak then?

[instigator]

I bought it for £1800 (2000 zx6r, 13k miles on the clock - you HAVE to love ebay :D)

I wanted £2200 for it in winter, but that'll rise another £300 minimum when spring/summer comes. And at £2500, it'd still be cheap!

[The Basket]

How would you like a garage choc full of black V-twins? :wink:

£1800 you say---rubs chin thoughtfully---Mmmm.

[zx6man]

the zx6r a whale next to it?...the storm 20kg's heavier than a 2000 zx6 and they are both 28 inch wide..more or less same specs...lol, think the tank is much slimmr tho...like the tank range...

[instigator]

The zx feels like much more of a whale than the storm, the storm is much more manageable, well at least when pushing it around.

The fairings do stick out like a sore thumb on the zx hence the whale comments.

Still, both great bikes in their own ways of course zxman, I won't challenge the zx6r's greatness :lol:

[zx6man]

Best thing about storms ar the ease of the front wheel lifting. Good wheelie machine. Mates got an orange one. I just dont seem to fit on hondas, even the pans feel uncomfy to me...kwak man through and through :D

[21QUEST]

My parents house, keep it here because I have a garage! Upgraded from the ninja and it's still under £500 tpft for a 21 year old with 1ncb :) On a restricted license *cough*

!!!

Nice bike.... but £500? . Okay for some then :roll: :) .


Cheers
