Nice muffs!

And a lovely box!

Pete ;)

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

I was out on the bike briefly this morning testing out the new addition. I was wearing summer gloves with the heated grips on the lower setting and my hands were too warm. Muffs rock.

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

I'll reckon you do maahhhooosive wheelies judging by the size of it ;-)

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

At least the bike is ugly enough to not be spoiled by the addition of a t*p b*x.

What do you think of the Versys? I'm thinking of getting something similar to replace my D**v*ll* winter hack.

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Many, shame on them!

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

It doesn't need the box on the back to be capable of mahoosive wheelies :D

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

I absolutely love it. For my useage it's ideal, not too fast, not too slow, handles like it's on rails compared to any standard SV I've ridden, great brakes with the ABS fitted, huge luggage capacity, 225 mile tank range if treated reasonable well, 200 miles if you do a bit of caning. It's the most comfortable bike I have ever had the pleasure of doing any distance on, in as much as I don't need to stop to rest myself when it needs filling up.

All in all I don't regret buying it for a second. If I have one gripe it would be that it lacks a little power for overtaking, but to be perfectly honest I'm quite happy riding at fairly sedate speeds on it anyway... oh, and the finish of the chassis parts like brackets and fasteners isn't what it could be (not quite as good as an SV if I were honest)

You need to change your signature Lozzo ;-)

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

So I do, brb

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

lozzo, that is by far the greatest motorcycle ever now. Topbox, panniers, heated grips, GPS and handlebar muffs

i love you

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

that looks a cracking mile muncher lozzo.

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

That's exactly what I've built it to be, a year round comfy mile muncher for the short-arsed man about town

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Don't forget the 12V power supply socket and Scottoiler with touring resevoir

Easy Tiger

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

pppfffftttt, your not that short arzed. try being my hight. i wouldn't even get on that bike and if i did my feet would be dangling in mid air, lol

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Looks like a similar switch to me - I changed from an '04 SV650S to a 650 V-Strom. Know what you mean about comfort - feels like I could ride it all day (which is why I got it).

Surprised you think it handles better than the SV. Maybe I need more time to get used to it but I have less confidence in the Strom in high speed corners due to the riding position.

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Looking nice. If I manage to ever afford the tank cover and engine guards, we'd have matching bikes! (top box, panniers, scottoiler, muffs although mine has MRA & OEM screen mod)

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Are you on the Versys forum too?

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Yup, going by username GC (although don't tend to post that often)

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Nice bike, I reckon you could do with a few more boxes though ;-)

How many kwaks you owned in the past then Lozzo?

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Many, 'the list is long and inglorious'** etc etc (22 that I can remember)

**(name that film quote)

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Looks really nice :D

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Thank you, but I really do think a trip to Specsavers should be a priority for you in 2010 ;)

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

My OH has one too, and loves it.

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

No tigers here, they are good bikes but i would like a versys now.

12V power supply and scottoiler touring? Niiiiccceeeeeeeeeee

I want to build my own Kawasaki Versys "Lozzo Edition" now

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

I'm guessing that this is your jet as well then:-

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

No black... definitely not mine.

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Its a nice looking bike for what it is, and as long as it suits ur needs.

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Words of a person the clearly isn't a fan!

I like how most V owners take pictures from the side on or from the rear. Because it's b@st@rd ugly from the front. :D

Re: Just for A*Hero
 

Not saying im not a fan, just not the bike for me
