Should have gone on a detour Saturday to keep you away from P & H.

I feel guilty.

Well, that's what it all about mate. :burn: Different strokes for different folks I guess, as I get that feeling from my 749.

When do you pick the zx up?

Errr......:puzzled: :puzzled: NO :bouncy:

hahahahah, probably right Jon! in both cases, open arms indeed... although they matched the best offer I had from all the places. Same as taz, and that one was an import! Although i wouldve preferred taz cause of the service side, but hopefully P&H will be cool.

As i said before, its only a temporary measure till i can get on something with a little more power... or at least how to go round corners properly...

Im having a toss up at the Mo (No Jokes)
Im thinking of going for a either 2003 CBR 600RR or 2003 ZX-6R ive heard some very good reports of the Kwak and am swayed more that way.
Going from a 996 I am worried about the lack Mid range. Although I rekon a good Pipe/Filter and Power commader should give more back?
Much as i loved my Duke I was always wondering will it breakdown on rideouts etc and i'll be glad to see the back of the servicing costs. Sometimes a UJM is a good option, Thrash it n Forget about it

Pretty much what I was thinking. Ive got a couple of looooong trips planned and dont fancy having to memorise the ducati assistance number. Although, tell the truth, its not really broken down on me, just niggles. But its those niggles that make you lose a bit of confidence.
Ill definately buy another one, a black 999, or when the new design comes out, when i have a bit more money for the servicing (walked out on my job today) and can actually use tools (i havent got even the slightest clue).
Decided on the new kwak because its the latest model, hopefully wont lose too much money, its comfy, fooooking quick and doesnt look tooooo bad (although i have been spoiled by the admiring glances on the 749)

Weird though, when i tested the kwak i got a lot more nods from other riders than when i drive the 749...

Paul - that's a real shame. Sounds as though there is something wrong with the setup of the 749 as they are normally fantastic handlers, mine was!! Still enjoy the ZX6 and of course you can join us on rideouts - at the back!!:lol:

Hahahah, the backs better than nothing I suppose ;)
