Still reckon the ZX12R is one of the best looking and most practical bikes made. Still reckon it's where Lamborghini etc got the lovely 'puke' green metallic from?

This one had been played with, and most unusually for me, I put it back to something resembling standard!! It's also had the 2nd butterflies removed, so really not ideal for those November frosty backlanes..... The other bike at the moment is a nitrous gixer thou!!

I always found kwakas to be a bit meh.... and middle of the road. No doubting their pedigree and performance, just thought the styling wasn’t all that. 
Now..... a sexy bike was always something a bit more exotic and non run of the mill. Like the Lavarda 750sf

 

or the MV Augusta superveloce

 

 

ok so both slightly older bikes, but boy they were lookers.

Don’t like the colour

trouble with the italian bikes is that unless you are a bonafide racing snake, they are just too small, and can be very single purpose, like the 916, making them almost unrideable. The MV was never really aimed at people who were going to ride them, so may as well go the whole hog and get a bimota.....

Kwak generally make better street bikes than the others, without going over the top...... H2R excluded of course....

But kwaks are just too common and half arsed. The MV was built around the gsxr750 engine. Which makes it an awesome machine in its own right. Who cares if early arthritis sets into your wrists??

Good job they don't have ducati engines eh?

So, we've gone from deck lights to Ducati's then... give me strength! 🙄

What we need is an Admin to do a thread clean up. Anyone know where we can find one, @Saintly Fish, @JonC?

You would think, that something like an MV with all that racing pedigree would have a powerful motor in it tho instead of a girly 750, even the thou aint all that. You would think that they'd have stuck a busa lump in there and gave it a bit of a rework to find those extra ponies....

I’ve been holding off all evening from banning evil kneivel and street hawk, this is so far off topic I just don’t know where to start. I think I’ll ask Nick for advice 

[suzook12]

And I worked on mine with an LED worklamp, does that help?? 🤣

Good plan, but I reckon I know what he'll say...

 

BAN THEM ALL!!

The worst thing is that Fisty has probably dressed up like a power ranger in leathers sitting on a chair backwards typing his replies.

He's probably sat outside now on Leo's pushbike going "Brrrrrrrrmmmm!"

He’s was  desperate to buy the leathers. I’m surprised he went sports style, I thought he would go blue oyster.

Finally managed to fit the new light last night. Not bad at all.

Great for when you are back on the mooring etc, but you may need to fit some subdued lighting under the gunnels for when you are fishing etc .............
