Welcome Ninja Bob. Mate, great bike heritage there!! :) Glad to see you have developed green blood over the years.

May I ask a favour though? Just take a little time to read your posts before hitting the send button. Not that anyone expects anyone's posts to be grammatically perfect, or even close. But, it is far easier to read a post if it has some punctuation incorporated into it.

Here is an example of what I mean. I have taken your sentence and altered it without changing any of the spelling.

Hey all just thought ild intro myself. I have loved kawakas since I was real young. Been rideing bikes since i was 3 and haven't stoped. Am now 21 n just stepping up to the big boys. In the past I've owned.....

Can you see how much easier that is to read???? Not having a go at you mate, but if you expect people to take you seriously, just a small amount of time taken to structure your posts will reward you with a far more positive round of replies. Again, nobody expects perfect grammer, but, just make you posts readable.







Faaark....I must be getting old, normally I would just pull the piss and not be polite????? Must be a 2012 thing........... :?

the thing i cant get over with it is the price i paid a tad over 2 and a half and the only fault with it is a little rash on the left hand side from were it fell off the stand and that it has 2 weeks rego.

Ive put 400kms on it with a run up the f3 from hornsby to newcastle were im from and then the 100k round trip to work today and its ran like an absoulute dream i havent been able to find 1 fault , the motor is nice and tight no rattles or knocks the gear box is nice n smoth its just absoultly beautiful i love it

ZZR11's are still a brilliant sports tourer in my eyes. I've ridden a mint D4 in anger down the ocean road and no one was being held up :twisted: I've also followed some smart bastard on one down the ocean road. I can't remember what I was on, maybe an L2750, but whatever it was, I kept looking down at it thinking....... "this thing should be in front of that thing"......... :oops: They are still a farkin fast bike.

As for the gramma, don;t fret the spelling, that's workable, it's just punctuating it so it is easy to read. It's my old tired eyes..... been looking into the distance through too many polycarb screens!!! :twisted: You had the hang of it in your first reply to my post, then appear to have given up on it in the next........ I'll fucking torch you young man if you don't get it right..... ;)

Ahhh yes... sold and rode a few of them in my time. I still like the teal green one the best in terms of colour scheme. But the Burgundy comes a close 2nd, especially with the grey frame. They hoik minging stands too. A mate on his, used to smoke his front tyre by the time he put it back down. I still remember being tucked behind the screen of a ZX6R doing 200+ gazelles, when he came past me...........on the back wheel!! :lol:

Oh...and I'm not cranky, I just don't suffer fools.
