Default G'day from Adelaide, South Australia

Just put down a deposit on one of these:

Pick it up next Friday

Me with my current ride ('03 FZ1):


The FZ has been a sweet ride, but I'm looking forward to some supersport handling.

Default Perfect 1st day...

New bike, 28 degrees C, Adelaide Hills, Friday off work, Monday is a public holiday, who could ask for more?

Manual says no full throttle starts and avoid hard acceleration for 1st 500Kms or 300 miles.

I put 200Kms on her today in the Adelaide Hills - what amazing handling - this thing is so light and easy to ride. Good variety of twisties with bursts of moderate acceleration. Hit 8000 rpm in 3rd a few times. Things are pretty lively above 6000 rpm...
