Project Kwak...

Riden her yet Nick? What it like compared to the CBR?

Been out on her for 3 hours tonight..

Well, different kettle of fish compared to the CBR. It's very noisy, not the can (standard) it's the engine, it growls, whines, pops, wheezes.. all sorts! Not sure if it's meant to sound that way! Will need to get it checked over I think. It's very raw and buzzy, lots more vibration and seems more involving. All the reports said it was hardcore and thats a good word to describe it!

The front is a bit worrying. Its jumps and skits around at the slightest imperfection, run over an ant and you know about it. I rode along a newly resurfaced road and there was still some action with the front. It may be that I have the tyre pressure too high. I set it at 36/42 , the same as my CBR but it may need to be lower.

It was a real buzz though, when I got home I was couldn't stop grinning! But that could just be that I was glad to still be alive!

Sounds like hard work!

Congratulations on your new bike.

Rossi Style!

You are both a bit funny looking

*** UPDATE ***

If any of you are interested!

Got some new bits on the bike now, Blueflame Evo S/S exhaust with silver exhaust hanger fitted today , sounds much better now.. Got Evotech tail tidy fitted too with 7x5 plate and clear indy lenses.. Got rid of the tatty tank pad and fitted new black Motrax one.

Seat cowl , light smoked double bubble, new mirrors and touch up paint are in the post as we speak.. Also, booked it into PDQ in Taplow today for a check over, makes some odd noises! they are gonna set up my suspension properly too as it's very harsh at the front over the smallest of bumps. Getting the Hot Grips taken off to and putting on Renthal race grips..

Will post piccies when got the lastest batch of goodies on (next week)

Consider yourself updated!

Jeez....you may as well have kept the CBR...this is going to work out more expensive

However congrats on making me look lazy/inefficient on the mod'ing front!
