Bloody Hell Tony, why'd you have to go show me that . . . now that's another bike I'm gonna NEED to get !!! ya bastard! Lol3

Being a fan of the Retro Bike look I like the GSX1400, just wasn't my cup of tea engine wise compared to the ZRX (off the shop floor comparisons).
However I have always said Suzuki should Retro a Katana & Kawasaki should Retro a GPZ900 (or 1100 or).
I definetly like the looks of the Unicorn built Katana's based on the GSX1400. Is it me or do a lot of them appear to be running carby's as oppossed to FI ?

Bri Harper called around and did me a safety Cert this morning.

Off to Qld Transport to register it, collect new plate, woman
behind the counter was being an arse because Bri and I both
listed the mileage as 000001.0 k's (new clocks)

Eventualy got a new plate.

Phoned Shannon's and added it to my policey
(including Yoshi / Powercommander / KOSO etc)

Out to play.

OK, I guess you had to change the mirrors for rego reasons... Undecided

Good photo though, looks like a nice spot Pi_thumbsup

Bike looks like an absolute steal for under 3K Clap

RE: New toy.... - Tony Nitrous - 03-10-2012

Mirrors were nicked off my Bandit for the safety cert and test ride.
Will probably get changed. Clocks really dont suit the looks, but
I might fit a ZRX / Z1100R type fairing, Not a fan of tupperware
but it looks very odd and untidy now.

Pic was taken along Bunya Rd. Its a twisty route close to my
house that takes me to Samford and the mountain. I take a few
snaps there, makes a change from the street outside my house.

Deja Vu ?

Ok, I know the area vaguely, used to live in Alderley in the late 70's.

I have been running bar end mirrors for the last 5 or 6 years & really like the low clean appearence & also appreciate being able to see behind without having to to the twist & drop an elbow to see if the police car I just passed has his brake lights on Lol3

.

Also I think bar end mirrors just really suit the retro style bikes. It is what I remember mates older brothers running on their Z900 & CB750's in the day & my Uncles Triumph Trident.

I hate luggage on bikes, F#ckin' awful ........ Lol3

Not sure if this will turn out to be useful or just give me the sh#t's.

In my defence, it comes on and off in seconds, box and mounting plate,
and just leaves a small rack, ........... and it was free, given to me by
the last owner. Still bloody ugly though.

I did a "add up" of everything i've spent so far, original bike, bits, accesseries and fix's.
Owe's me $2625 ( not counting rego / safety Cert or insurance )

RE: New toy.... - Tony Nitrous - 15-01-2013

1400 is for taking the Mrs out on,
Got a feeling she'll fill it up.
Happy wife, happy life!

Some 30mm jack up blocks under the shocks stop me dragging the pegs
and make it turn in nice and quick without the lazy steering....

New cam chain, tensioner and guides stopped the background rattle,
full service and a play with suspension and a test ride.....

The Busa has a GSXR single seat tail and is due for some more mods
so this might be a good mile-muncher / pillion bike.
