    Cool Joined the Big Boys Club

    For the last few years I've never really been that interested in Kawasaki. I've appreciated their pedigree, but nothing really tickled my fancy; that is until I went to the Homebush bike show.

    After having a little perv on the new Zx10r they had there, and throwing my leg over, I was quite impressed. And each week, I was thinking about it more and more.

    So last Friday I went out to MotoHub and took their 2016 green beast for a test ride, and God fucking damn this thing is nice.
    From there it took me all of 20 minutes to lay a deposit down.

    One week later (yesterday), I took delivery of my new 2016 ZX10R KRT Winter Test edition.
    From what I'm told, first built in the country confirmed by Kwakka themselves. And first to take delivery, of the Winter edition that is (could be wrong with other states).

    There's 30 of these bad boys coming to Oz, 100 to the UK, and America gets nothing.

    Took her for the inaugural ride last night in the rain through Nasho, and fuck me this thing is a weapon.

    That. Is. Beautiful.

    I'm not moved by the green brigade either, but I must say that's nice. I think it's the gas cylinders on the forks that really do it for me.....

    Word on the street is that the stock suspension is even better than K-Tec. With 200HP stock, they are going to be a weapon.

    She's going to be my everyday bike for now. Gone for a couple twisties rides so far with the missus on the back, and damn this thing is beyond expectations. It's absolutely on rails.

    I'm extremely keen to get it on the track at least a couple times, as I'd love to see how it goes. The boss says I can take it once only though. SO I dunno. Maybe if I save for some sliders and glass or something, I'll get to play more?
