Hey R1000, Good article

I did not even sit on the bike yet let alone test ride one. Can't go wrong on this one. I just came back from a northern state and bought the last zx-14 in malaysia of this batch. (next batch I have to wait another 4-5months) will be miserable by then.

This is it - Black colour

Congrats to a very nice and qualified bike ! The colour suits the bike very well too, makes it look slimmer and will be a good background for stickers .Looking forward to readyour findings when you have been familiar with it.

Man that looks like a cool ride, looking forward to your impressions when you've had a few outings on it.

Also, that looks a very good site - I read a few of the ride reviews. I cant afford any of it but interesting anyway :-)

madkawa is fine. There is a story. Its a nickname given by my friends after blowing my kawi engine 3 times in 6 months!

The lastblowup had such a F$%King big hole that I could even not find the Piston Head, it just disintigrated. I just got so fed-up after that. Now a Honda would not give me this kind of heartache!

Hello madkawa, I need to spend more time on this board, I just noticed that you are in Malaysia, I have a friend in Ipoh! Nice to make your aquaintance. Tough decisions, I have a tendency to hang on too much! I have plenty of room here in PA, but I think I have reached critical mass myself. It must be great to get out on sepang. Good luck with the new bike, cheers, Len S

Hi skyrider, sorry i only just came across your reply. I am not a track guy so I only go to Sepang and watch people race. Sepang is a great world-class track.



Here are the very last pictures of my CBR1000F as owner.Will miss her!
