New Bike

[Boomer]

Hi All
I am about to buy a brand new Blackbird after selling my ZZR1100. Is there anything I want to be looking out for.

Any advice is much appreciated.

 

[Wolfie]

just make sure it is one of the good ones, you know BLACK:neenaw: :yo: :yo:

Welcome Boomer

Since you are buying new you should be sound. Got mine new, lost a fairing fastener and the assembly that holds the rear light/numberplate and mudgard almost fell off. Loose nuts !
All was then well until CCT failure before the 8000 mile service.

Got 20,000m up now without any problems.

Good luck.

P.S. buy a BLACK one.R#? R#?

Add on's

Make sure you get a decent hugger to keep the crud away!!

Set of decent pipes makes a difference as well - ART on mine

Contact JAWS for a price on the hugger?

Welcome

Hi ya Boomer,

Good news about getting a bird...you cant go far wrong really..I would only suggest a fender extender to be added as it keeps all the crap off your shiney pride and joy.

Welcome to the club!!:lick:

Welcome Boomer

Happy days on on the way for you,, hope you enjoy the bird as much as us nutty lot, hope to see you out on a ride.

PS,, ONLY ONE COLOUR BLUE

 

[Boomer]

I'm Blue

Thanks to all the responses.
To all those who said black is the colour to have then I apologise because I bought a blue one. Far more stuinning than the black yawn:yo:

WELCOME BOOMER

All colours are very nice but we all know black is best

Boomer. You've made the right choice, blue is by far the most appealing.

I recommend you get a hugger asap in order to extend the life of your rear shock and your knuckles :}
In respect of cans, I've got a pair of titanium Akrapovics fitted, however I'm about to go complete Akrapovic system 4-1 with a carbon can. Titanium is nice but carbon is easier to keep clean (I hope).
The only other recommendation is ride the thing and ride it hard. There is no doubt that it's a great touring bike, but ride it hard and the rewards are fantastic. Don't be intimidated by it's size; it'll handle and if ya don't belive me check out the non-existant chicken strips :}

Oi !!! I resemble that remark !!! :m

Even if there is a grain of truth in it! (well more than one grain actually, oh all right , a fuckin beach full of grains .......!)

Anyway, Boomer, don't worry too much about any of the posts regarding my POS, it's definitley an exception to the rule. Everyone on this forum has been helpful in trying to get Kylie (my bike, long story) sorted. Definite helpful bunch.

Mad a bucket of frogs mind you tho' !!! :f :beer:

(yes that one)

and a tin of black paint don't cost that much really, since you bought one of them s l o w blue uns'
