you are all so very kind! lol []
Popped out again this eve for a little blat, am now 1/10th run in [] Am gonna give it a few more beans next ride, still stay away from full throttle tho. I really can’t stress just how light this bike is to ride, its almost like the bike isn’t there, especially with the riding position, even sat down unless you look sharply down you can’t even see the bike. You know you are on one tho… or it could be a skinny scafold plank lol, the seat is hard, narrow and flat, my backside is suffering and I just don’t care coz this bike is totally BONKERS, can’t wait for full power!

Totally love it and am so glad I bit the bullet and finally got myself exactly what my heart was begging for even tho my head was saying “no, no No No NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” []

Hopefully by the time you view it the quality will have improved, Youtube is getting worse tho, may stop using it if they dont fix up
February 20, 2010 at 7:36 pm #60281RadarModeratorThe Husky looks like it is much better suited to those types of roads than the GSXR750 ever would be! Is that the standard exhaust too? It sounds really fruity for a stock system!
Did you see this video clip of Husky riders on the web:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViwaepHyPxY&NR=1
They blitzed a few sports-bike riders and the road in the last 6 mins of the video looked amazing
Did you ever sell the Gixxer btw?
February 20, 2010 at 8:00 pm #60282HippoDronesParticipantyeah definitely more suited to these roads up here [] Yup, std zorsts, they pop and bang quite a lot in the flesh that don’t really show up in the vids
Just having a lookski now
The gixer is possibly being sold in the next few days hopefully

February 21, 2010 at 8:42 pm #60285katanaParticipantBike sounds great Pete.
What helmet cam are you using?
February 22, 2010 at 12:25 pm #60286HippoDronesParticipantthis is the closest I can find on ebay for my camera:
ebay item 350284766062
The vid quality on youtube is no way near as good as it comes out the camera, I shrunk the file to reduce the upload time and youtube also loses resolution
March 3, 2010 at 8:04 pm #60287HippoDronesParticipantWent out for a little spin this eve before it got dark, bike is still totally bonkers and getting more so, LOVE IT!!! []

March 4, 2010 at 12:32 pm #60291HippoDronesParticipantI’m not going missing now for a while, have been medically downgraded coz of my shoulder
