Probably the finest piece of machinery I've ever owned!
Well, I've bin ridin the wheels off her, and the motor really started to loosen up.
It felt very tight form the 1st 300 km.
Engine is very smooth and front brakes are simply unreal!
20 mph internittant crosswinds today and buffeting is ok.
Bike tracks way better at 100 mph than at 75 mph with crosswinds.
Really like the way it handles too.
I like the fact that it is not wheelie prone like the liter bikes.
It just squats and pulls like crazy.
some big power wheelies!
1st, second and 3rd front tire skimming about 6" off the ground and is very stable even when the tire touches down slightly crossed up!
Shit i think the front tire was coming just off the ground from 4th to 5th gear! ( 200 km +)
I am very impressed
Had it up to 280 kmhr today and that was fast enough for me.
Why they ever geared it for 202 mph at redline is beyond me.
300k on public roads (empty or not) is simply obsurd!
My purchase experience has definatley been that.
Kawi has some big balls for building this bike though and my kudos to them for that !
So the journey begins.
Brocks street meg, pc3, yellow box, 16 tooth, and muzzy links will be ordered next week.
I'm a shorter guy so heli bars when they become available too!
Hopefully ivans will make the tre so that the user can select full bottom power on/ off switchable at the bars.
My wife could not beleive it is 1 day old and I'm tinkering already!
Removed the reflectors and elephants trunk for a plate hanger.
2 small 4"x 1" brakets with 45 degree bend 1 inch from the end, for my plate and cost me $1.43 and 15 minutes time.
well off to the garage to set up the shift and launch light.
Haven't played with that yet!
Thanks for the good advice Steve (FBA)
This bike was definately worth the wait and hassle getting it.
Best set of wheels I've ever owned.
Everyone is checking it out and I have the only one in town.
Sure glad I got black now. The lines a ere beautiful and the color is universally accepted.
Friends who generally have a real dislike for sport bikes men and women alike really like the bike!
Later dudes!
