Hello Guys and Girls

[jamesd]

James here just bought my First 1000 cc bike and after no deliberation what so ever i got a 1000rr 2012 ..

Been for a quick ride when finished work and wow she don't half shift. A world away from my 2000 750 ninja...I never got it out of Wet mode...

Does anyone know if the front brake is linked to the back..as I am sure I felt the back break as well as the front when I grabbed the front...

Cheers...

Welcome along mate
She looks a beauty, I haven't seen that colour before
Very nice
See it came with a LOT of crash protection
If you think rain mode is quick wait till you get it into slick

 

[Loupe]

Just zoomed in, yep thats a lot of protection!
Not sure about the middle one, that looks like it could dig into your leg/boots in an off?
Might just be the angle of the pic.

Your right mate them big middle ones are coming off..When I was puling up on last night ride they were getting in the way when putting my legs down...

I've seen a lot of track bikes including Baz's with frame protectors there... not sure what part number they are.
