Picked her up in Cambridgeshire and rode back to south east London, at speed, been using it all week for work - It hasn't missed a beat, I cant find anything wrong with it apart from it may need a new clutch in a while.

Ive put just over 300 miles on it already!

That looks very nice Mike. :thumbsup:

The blue on the ace looks a close match to the blue on the Kwak. :nod:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Yup, I don't post much though, I put 5,000 miles on the 12 last year and I couldn't be happier with it.

Nice!

Im the same name on the Kawasaki site.

We've started doing a yearly meet to Wales each year, normally get around 15 of us head up on the 12R's.

Ill keep you posted for the next one if your interested - I try and keep it as cheap as possible and its usually only over a few days in the summer.

Is there anything like that with the Yamaha lot??

Hiya Mike 1000

Nice bikes...

I'm only in Welling, so plenty of rideouts from Orpington in the coming better weather.

See in in May for the Mayday Run if not beforehand.
