It arrived 1430 hours Perth time and is ready for my pickup Saturday morning. Till then the standard issue manual is going to have to occupy my time (dohh!)

So your black has silver lowers?
They look like they would macth the silver bike we get.
I'd think that the silver bike we have here with those silver lowers would look absolutely killer!

[scorch]

Yeah Prestige received a last minute delivery, I'd say the other dealers have there presold blades by now too. Alas apparently a container of em have yet to be VINned so until Honda do that tuesday legally it can't be ridden.
To say I am cheesed would be an understatement. as some compensation to makeup for the puk up the dealer is giving me dealer plates so I can have it for tomorrow.

Then it will sit in my garage for 3 days till they fix up this stupid office issue and get the Vin's loaded


anyhow I think the Black with the silver bellypan looks schmicko

Nahh,

[ratter]

Ratter what sort of mods you done to get 149hp at rear, must be alot of fun and wheelies all around?

wheelies? what wheelies?




I just have a hindle high mount,pc3 and a custom map as far as engine mods go.

the thing does lift pretty easily,but when i had the suspension done, they actually lowered the front of the bike a little to help faster steering, but it also helps keep the front down a little more, but it still comes up way to easy

I envy you guys over there, get to goto PI twice a year or maybe more for trackdays, damn it...
although I do prefer our weather here..

[ratter]

It's a great track to ride or even spectate at

[Zeeman]

I'd be so damn with that thing so close, yet so far!!! I'm looking forward to seeing them on the street. Saw the first of the new R1's at Eastern Creek today, they looked ok. Have yet to see the ZX10R or the new Blade..

Z...

[sp1]

Have taken the ZX10R for a spin, very fast, power comes on around 7500 and whammo, but the honda is more linear, I think the word ridable comes to mind. I think theres going to be some highsides on the ZX10R done by the inexperianced... mates got a R1 but have'nt ridden it yet, hopefully tomorrow.

[Perth_CBR1RR]

Guys,
what a sweet little girl she is
picked the Blade up this morning and the thing is pure silk, smooth as. I was actually surprised by the bark from the pipe! Another thing mine came out with Pirelli's fitted which was a big surprise but a good one nonetheless.
I agree theres puk all space under that pillion perch so forget storage!

the thing pulls like u wouldn't believe

at a standstill it feels heavier but find first and that issue is all balony!

it's sooo easy to throw around I'd swear it was a 6!

very happy and I hope ya'll are all to

Dave
even sunnier in Perth today

[sp1]

ohhh look half of my bike there aswell, will have to take photo when I get a red one(fireblade) dave.

Damn straight, I haven't seen a Red one yet apart from those ads over the WSBK. make it happen !
will stay tuned for futher intel!

[The Sook]

I have 2 CBR1000RR's in stock now. Neither are sold, so let me know who wants one, and it's yours. One black, one white red and blue.
I'll have Arata systems in stock for them by the end of the month. They are a twin muffler set up apparently, so they'll be about $2800 round abouts. I already have Arata rear sets in stock for them.

I was talking to a guy at Micron the other day and he says their new exhaust for the CBR1000 is sick! I like what they dd for the 600RR as well.
