Title: hey peoples
Post by: Crinum on May 30, 2006, 09:11:52 PM
Just wanted to say a big hello on the list.  I remember i joined a while ago back when i first got my 02 GS500.  However it has now come time for me to sell it and move onto something bigger.  I'm fairly certain of a kwaka zx636 but i still have to find a buyer for the gs first.

I know the suzukis are almost bomb proof but has anyone here owned a kwaka?

cheers
ben

yeah i've been searching around for goss on the kawasakis.  The new 05+ models of the zxers seem to have improved on the previous models, both in the engine and handling.  I've ridden both the old and new shapes and the newer models definately feel alot more confortable to me anyway.

New bikes are always hard decisions.  :icon_confused: I really liked the new speed tripples too.

i disagree, the T509 speed tripple, old fell i know has one. je rode mine and rode his, the bike never, ever stops pulling. if it had a full fairing i would buy it or at least a real wind screen

The speed tripple are such great machines.  The earlier ones here are almost collectors items because no one wants to get rid of them.  And they really hold their value aswell even the ones that have 65,000kms (sorry i haven't converted this to miles  ;)).

The 675's look nice as well, i haven't test ridden one of them yet, maybe i should?? hmmmmm...
