    Got told the reg for my ZX6R today so have sorted the insurance out…. added it to my current policy I’m using for the V7 and RXS and it only bumped it up by £230 for fully comp! :-)

    really easy to add bikes to the policy and seem good value. Have seen folk complain about them but when I read into it it was because they didn’t read small print or were complaining that they got admin fees when they bounced DD payments so IMO brought the troubles on themselves.

    Know what you mean. I  may well give them a call when the time comes. Thumper has just done an excellent deal with Bennetts for his fleet…less than £200 for the GS, two TDRs and his 125

    Collected the bike today :D

    It is quite a machine, I really think I’ll enjoy this far more than I did the Ducati and even running in I can hit 85 so shouldn’t be too painful!

    It will take a while to get used to the riding position as it is quite sporty… even more so than the Ducati was but it is far comfier (although my ankle is still fubar so am struggling a lil on the right side). The engine is crisp and responsive, the brakes are improving now they are beginning to bed in. Hopefully tomoz’s spin will help me acclimatise to the riding position a bit and also get the pads fully bedded in and tyres scrubbed.

    It will rev to 16k rpm when run in, its gonna be bonkers! :D

    Looks great Pete – how long will that standard exhaust last before you change it?

    Looks a real stunner Pete.

    Did you pay extra for the two elves (top photo – the one on the tank and the one on the fairing)?

    Very very nice! I think a trip up this way is in order so we can all have a go! Once it’s run in though :)

    Looks great Pete, hope that your ride today went well.

    I must congratulate you on finding a bike with an exhaust that is even uglier than the one fitted to my FZ1S, dubbed the ‘Dalek’s Todger’ by forum member Gordy.

    Looking forward to following your progress with the new stead and o course, get yourself up to middle earth on the old girl!
