Well, due to a good amount of sunshine this morning, I went out and took some photos... here are the ones that I think are best :P

Rather nice. But 020s on such a sporty bike?

.

yeah, 020's on the back, and 014's on the front.. Im not complaining, as the rear has done 5500 miles, and has a few hundred left in it... Ive only had the bike sisnce late September :lol: rear was put on for me after I bought it.. so its had a good innings and a few 'high speed' runs as well :twisted: no complaints with grip so far, as I havent even tried pushing it too hard yet, though have had the back step out on me once or twice coming off a roundabout! :P

Lovely, especially the first pic. makes the famous Kwak green really stand out.

ps - like the sig as well :wink:

Very nice. Especially in green - does this add a few bhps??!

Why not?

Nice bike btw 8) :wink:

Not sure of the extra HP due to its colour.. it doesnt need the extra Ooomph anyway! It does turn heads though!

Its either an 020 on the rear, or a new tyre every month! :lol: and I cant afford to do that!

Jonboy are you some kind of closet tyre tread spotter ? :wink: :lol:

the top one looks like a kawasaki advert, good pics. :D

I thought the same thing!..
I heard that der da da daaaaa music from that Tv programme - YOU BET !

Oi Valleyboy, you got your location wrong....
It's somewhere we'd all like to be... Out and Riding our bikes in Wonderful scenery

Great pic's :thumbsup:

Well they certainly work okay but being sports/tourer tyres aren't best suited to a sports bike if it's being used as designed I would humbly suggest ;).

.

You have some strange ideas about sports bikes :lol:

No, I have some correct ideas about how they should be ridden ;).


.

Beautiful day... Nice bike... Nice can 8)

SSsccccccchhhhhhhwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet :!:

And how will fitting sports touring tyres affect that?

There's quite a lot of people who fit "sport touring" tyres to sportsbikes during the winter and if they commute on them. Commuting kills my BT014's within 3k miles. They're so soft the flatten off very quickly. However, now I have the SV, the 'Blade is going to get some very sticky rubber this summer....

Oh, nice bike BTW

.

It will limit the amount of available grip, naturally. For slowish, over-prudent riders it won't be a problem.


.

Whatever :lol:

But then seeing as you think SVs get out of corners better than sports bikes, I'm guessing you've never ridden one anyway :wink:

Wrong, I have :wink: .


.

Just not properly then :wink:

If you wish to continue your cyber-pugnacity, then here's a challenge: I'll race you along the A507, Baldock to Buntingford, with you on your banzai-fast Kwak and me on my SV, but just to give you a chance I'll go from start to finsh (and it's a very twisty and hilly road) with NO brakes, and still beat you :wink: . We'll get Sid Squid to ride behind me and adjudicate.

Then on the way back we'll swap bikes and I'll give you a half a mile start - sound fair?


.

What about the top box? :lol:

Well it's a road that you know well and he doesn't, and you have had your SV for a few years, and Jordans had the Kwack for a few days.

Other than that I guess it's fair :lol:

But I understand where you are coming from. However, like I stated earlier, commuting on very sticky rubber is bloody expensive.

.

Agreed, winter months are a little different, and sports bikes aren't exactly designed as commuters. But using it during the summer months for blasting along wonderful roads (as per it's design brief), I think you'll agree that sticky rubber is the only way to go ;).


.

Like I said:

Probably a set of Super Corsa's, but they're crap in the wet as they have no tread at all up the side of the rolling radius.

.

Thankyou Steve :lol:

As for tyres, look into Pilot Roads. My experience with different types of tyre is limited so you may want to see what others think, but I've tried to upset these tyres in the wet and dry and I've not succeded. They seem excellent :thumbsup:

Winter in wales, I dont think Valleyboy needs super sticky tyres I think he needs tractor tyres :lol:

Very nice pics Valleyboy, looking good :thumbsup:

Aye, the amount of crudd on the road around here, I do need tractor tyres actualy! :lol: was ice on parts of the road near the 1st photo... on a bend as well.... :?

The can sounds good 8) you can tell the bike weighs a lot less with the Remus compared to the standard can..

Nice scenery.... lovely roads.... but I hate it here :( theres more to life than bombing around corners at stupid a stupid rate of knots.... I grew up here, but I just dont get on with people around here :? dont feel like I belong... anyone wanna swap locations ?? :lol:

Owee! Greg, Jodan will you stop swinging your handbags at each other for christ sake! Back to the matter in hand.

Nice kwak V Boy the proper colour as well. :D

Nice looking Kwak 8)

GO GREEAASEE LIGHTNING-- GO GREAASE LIGHTNNG!!!
CAN i BE RIZZO AND DROP THE HANKIE??? :roll: :lol: :shock:

:lol:


.

I'll swap; come down to Barry. I don't get on with the people around here, don't feel like I belong and the roads are rubbish and the police are even worse.

The kwak in green definately looks good in sunlight. I don't know why, but I never really liked it in showrooms, but in the flesh on a bright day it looks incredible.
