OO-Look! A PROPER Sports Tourer!

Nope...

Mr Spock never said that.


DA...the Fat Bert pic.......Mwaaahahahahahahahahahhahaha.....:yo:

I noticed you mentioned the touring advantages of higher/wider bars, lower footrest, smooth comfier ride etc etc... But, with all your thousands of touring miles on your four blackbirds have you ever :- lowered the pegs, fitted bar risers, had ?300 quids worth of K-Tech suspension , ?60 quid on a Tony Archer seat, and a screen of your choice and / or hard luggage even....

Six millimetre ride height spacer.
For me, that?s all it needed.
250,000 touring miles, or thereabouts; two-up with luggage.
Only issue: Loom Problem.

Of the four, only one rear shock failed at 60,000 miles. ?Nuff said. :dunno:

I really do find that hard to believe that you never actually 'toured one up' at all, and now your going out there to buy a bike with all of that ???? I would have been interested in your report on a toured up one after getting of the Kwaka mate !!! The only thing that a 'toured up' bird hasnt got is a shaft drive, which is a shame, but the main advantage over the Kawaka is that it Will/ Does carry the weight with the sorted suspension... which is the main concern I would have with the Kwak ...

I'll learn a-ll about the Kwak, buddy, believe me! As I said, though; I never needed more than a spacer on the Blackbird. That's why I always said it was the "perfect tourer" for me. Anyway ? I thinkya should be tellin? all this to Honda mate?

?Bit late now, though? :-0)

I'm telling you - Fat Bert's been seen in Wales riding the new Viffer

Cow-a-Sackie what Eric FFS?

You'd be quicker on one of these ..............

Claims that Fat Bert has been riding a VFR1200 in Wales have been dismissed by Honda.

A spokesman issued a statement, to the effect that: “The VFR1200F’s performance characteristics and capabilities, we believe, would lie beyond Mr. Bert’s talents at this moment in time. We have, however, provided training facilities at a secret location, where Mr. Bert has been given the opportunity to practice his skills.”

Since then, our reporters have managed to locate the training establishment; a smuggled video of Fat Bert shows, unequivocally, the foolhardiness of any claims that Honda had ever trusted him to ride one of their Viffer12’s.

DA :-0)

B.I.R.D. News :yo:

Somewhere in Wales :-:

Tomorrows test ride on the GTR is off, had a call from the dealer to say their demonstrator isn't road worthy?????? Good old Millennium Motorcycles. :bang: Apparently they are waiting for a new part.

Bad luck, Jono. Any other dealers near you? I know it's a Saturday, but why not make a few phone calls to arrange a test? It's all about selling bikes, and dealers seem keen to make test rides available, according to my recent experiences... :dunno:

Just a thought, how about the Kawasaki GTR 1400, the latest model, comes with all the toys, heated grips, traction control and ABS (Both of which you can turn off if you want),luggage, adjustable suspension etc,etc?????:dunno:

i sold my bird to mistervarley and bought a GTR1400 (09,?8250 from a dealer) and can honestly say after riding my old bird again yesterday as he needed it MOT'd that the GTR is a MUCH nicer riding posistion, is FASTER where it counts and looks smart with all the luggage off,has a bigger tank range and is a FULL SIZED BIKE and not designed for mr MR karikiri who is 3'5" in stillettos and weighs 4 stone when needing a shit as well.

GTR is the tourer for ex bird riders!

 

[Demonbane]

might be worth contacting Rolfy ... he'll be able to fill you in on the goods and bads of the GTR

:yo:

or ask me p0pc0rn41 is was going to buy an brand new one with the traction control etc, but sat next to it was a 09 with 8k on the clock,kwak crash bars fitted,fenda extenda,for ?8250.
not far off a ?5000 saving!

for just under ?9000 i drove away with it fitted with the bigger screen, 47ltr kwak top box, AND a remus hexacone (getting rid of the fucking awful strumpet fitted as standard!

...Can't say I agree with all of your comments, but your post made me consider why I bought the ZZR1400 instead of the GTR ? and it was the ?sports? factor that got the ?nod?.

The outright performance of the beast clinched it for me. Fantastic acceleration and top speed; handling that leaves the BB for dead; and brakes that will take some getting used to: they - are - outstanding. :bow:

Add in the "easier" riding position and plenty of comfort for the missus and the deal was done.

Next Wednesday? :yo:

Na mas

:bow:
