Nothing worse than a bad wheelie.

yamahonkawazuki · April 22, 2012, 09:20:27 PM

also wheelies are one of the causes of failed engines.

usually the 3rd cylinder

Nice curves, Ugly mug.

Be safe Unsane.

Not as ugly as the rider

Just got back from the first ride - 130km around Sydney roads and I'm stoked with my choice. This bike is brilliant at everything, even though I'm on a tight run-in regime and the TC is set on full (wet roads in Sydney today) and the tyres are green.

If you are scared by litrebikes, don't be! Yes they are a lesson in self control but it all comes down to you... so be scared of yourself!

EXACTLY, self control is key. if you cant control yourself, youve no business on the bike. methinks youll do just fine

400km on the clock over 3 days and 2 tanks of fuel now... Including a 5:30am trip up the old road this morning - cornering at virtually the same pace as when I had the GS (maybe a little faster) but power out of the corners, on the straights and braking force is astonishing. I don't think I will ever be able to use the full potential of this bike but I see that as a good thing - especially on the street!

One month in and I'm in love with this bike! Tonight I met up with an amateur photographer I met thru facebook and here are the results...

Flux Maven · May 22, 2012, 12:34:08 PM

Wow! The bike looks great! I love the green

That exhaust looks so much better than the goofy stock system too.

codajastal · May 22, 2012, 03:51:10 PM

Looks fukking awesome

Nice photos. Did he have a remote flash on a tripod? Diffuser?

What the hell is with these people ragging on you? You can do whatever the F&*K you want. I'm sure you're not 17 so you're an adult able to make your own adult decisions.

Opinions are like assholes...everybody's got one. That, and Mustangs...LOL!

Addendum: I see you're 37 years old. Uh...why the hell are people younger than you trying to be your parents? This is something I truly hate about this and every other forum...people that think they're entitled to act like their sh!t doesn't stink.

If you're honestly trying to give someone helpful advice you need to realize they're far less likely to listen if you present it in a combative way...and remember that THEY DON'T HAVE TO! That's the freedom of choice.

Also, I love the lime green, but for some reason the first photo you posted (stock photo I'm sure) appears to be an almost...olive green. I like that color a lot too...oh well. Both are good

well said. that photographer did an excellent job ( my opinion) i do think the shots were well placed/composed. anyways, beyond that, am envious. lol. all drooling aside. will you video any rides soon? or at some point?

Unsane · May 23, 2012, 01:39:32 AM

Im a photography noob so bear with me here...

The photos were a long exposure basically in the dark - I could not see a thing! Shutter is opened and he walks around the bike with this huge boxed light and highlights the curves - then closes the shutter. He picked the camera position and light angles - yes a tripod was used for all shots. Hope that makes sense!

Kijona - you are right and there are a lot of opinions flying around on the ninja forum as well... but almost everyone there has a 180hp + bike too so they hack on about other crap. Swearing is not censored and it gets pretty raw sometimes. Get your technical facts wrong and look out! I'm glad to see they discourage hooliganism though - people who post pics or vids of burnouts, wheelies, stoppies, 300kph passes etc get paid out on big time!

I'm not fussed though - sticks & stones. This bike makes me too happy to worry about other people's opinions!
Cant keep away from GSTwins because there are too many good ppl and discussions to miss out on

Unsane · May 23, 2012, 05:44:18 PM

yamahonkawazuki · May 23, 2012, 07:41:27 PM
