looking great Draeger, I see you have 2ct's on, I just made the switch and love them.. super sticky, but also means I rekon rear is gonna last 1500miles at this rate :(
 
Cheers m8. :D

Yeah, been using 2CT's for a while now, I honestly can't see past them now.

I dunno - I can usually get around 2500 miles out of a rear until it is totally knackered and thats with the power delivery of a twin. I don't hang about either, reasonably quick on the road.

That said, mate at work has a Tuono and he told me the other day that he needs a new rear 2CT after 800 miles!!!. :eek:

Must all be down to throttle control and experience....lol.

Very nice, oops i'm drooling again! i do love twins (bike variety too ;))
been looking at Tuono's and am veeerry tempted, if only funds were better - still got 1 twin so i should be happy i spose.

IIRC tuono's are tweaked for more midrange torque but 800miles :eek: whats the guy doin wheelies/burnouts everywhere...

That is beautiful.

I appreciate that so much because my Bros is completely standard.

I've neglected her so much lately, i would love to spend some money on it because its a great bike.
 
Wow, that Bros looks awesome.

Is it the 400? What have you done and if you don't mind how much have you spent to get it this far? I fancy a bike again and fancy a commuter bike.
 
Forgot to post my hack.
Along with the RSV posted earlier I also have this:

1994 BMW F650 Funduro
Reliable, easy to work on, good on fuel and ace fun in traffic.
I've given a few sports bikes a shock on it already.
 
Liking that Bros!!!

And the 999 looks stunning too. :cool:

Posted this elsewhere on the forums in a seperate thread but thought I would put it in here as well, after all it is the Bikes thread. :p

My Aprilia RSV Mille no longer has the Blueflame race can it had on it a few pictures back - now fitted in the last few days with Renegade Twin Highmount exhausts.

The noise is simply incredible. :eek:

Passed my test a couple of weeks ago, and got this a few days ago. It's awesome.

Kawasaki Z1000. Insurance isn't too nice.

Man I LOVE that, also love kwak orange... it looks like it wants to rip your head off standing still.

Only thing I'd do to bike though is get a aftermarket end cans on there, kawasaki have gone abit weird with these funnel designs. I think you can even get twin race cans on each side.. there was one like this up poole quay on tuesday, it looked stunning.

two brothers cans

I want one :)
