The New Boy in Essex!

[Scan]

ONLY GONE AND GOT ONE!
Always been my dream bike and finally saved up the money to get one! 2013 Model in White/Lupin Blue Metallic.
Haven't had much chance to go out on it much due to the weather but when I have, Its put a massive smile on my face! :fat:
Previously had been riding a Kawasaki ZX6-R G1 1998 which I still have in my garage so the RR is my second bike.
Dont see many RR'S around Essex (Harlow/Bishop's Stortford) so it will be interesting to see how many of you guys are out there!
Will try and get some pictures of my baby up soon!

You wait fella there's more of us round here than u think!

As Doc says there are pigging loads in Essex they just like hiding in their warm garages

 

[Docta13]

Too right, although mine can't get passed the mounds of shit I have so it can stay there for a while!!

That was the day I got it, ^

Only had it a couple of weeks now, Its now got a tailtidy on it. Wasn't a big fan of the massive plastic extender on the back.
Looking to get a bellypan for the bottom sometime soon. What colour do you guys think I should get......White or Black?

 

[Docta13]

I think u should get rid of the box altogether.!!

Any exhaust in particular?
I wasn't too sure about getting a straight through pipe though,
I didn't know how loud it was going to be and i'm going to be doing a tour next year in Europe so if it sounded too mental, It would drive me bonkers.

Hi Tom and welcome to the forum, enjoy the bike, there are loads of us about in Essex. I will probably organise a rideout in the spring if your interested.

Hi Phil, Thanks for the warm welcome! Yeah sounds good to me! Send me a message when you fancy going for a ride. I'll be heading down to watch some of the BSB races next year so more the merrier!

If the temp is above 10c I might get out before the new year, might be last minute but will let you know...

Yeah give me a shout if you do! Im always up for a blast on the bike!
Will be interesting to see everyone else's bikes! All my mates have Gixxer 1000's and im getting fed up of the sight of them.

Hi Tom

nice bike that mate, you could do with a stubby can on that to finish it of.

cheers Ian

Hey hey. Another Essex boy, it's going to start sounding like TOWIE on here.

Good colour choice, now get an Akrapovic stubby on there and it'll be 'ream'!
