Just day dreaming

On my lunch break, browsing things I can't really afford, and saw this.

Isn't this a member's bike, NC30 iirc, and wasn't it crashed? Think I saw the bike on one of the monthly mags too.

Anyway, back to Gixxer thous

Yes it looks like his old bike.

He's got a very nice BMW S1000RR now

I'm a v-twin man through and through and not normally a fan of i4's but that Gixxer 1000 = lovely.

I read it the same, only when i clicked on the link and see the bike i realised who he ment

I work in composites and have to say I am not a fan of carbon lol! Maybe a tankpad and rear hugger but nothing more.

Think I prefer the look of a Fireblade too.

Had to Google, as I was curious - dear god there's a lot of CF :eek:

Lovely bike though, would look 100% better less about 80% of the CF and the extra stickers, each to their own though

Ghosteh · 27 Sep 2012 at 12:49

That has far too much tat on it I think. A bit of CF looks okay, but not that much, and especially not with all the stickers.

I test rode the 1000rr

First thing i thought when i got back from a 30 minute ride
"my legs are burning" The frame got so hot!

Apart from that it's bloody nice bike, that carbon on his looks cheap (which am sure it's not)
