anyone near Streatham?

who could pop into South London Motorcycles and see if the '07 DR-
Z400SM they have looks as mint IRL as it does in the photos?

TIA

 

I don't go sarf of the river.

no, normally not me either, hence my request.

 

I reckon I can at the weekend. Probably not before.

 

OK - no rush - cheers.

 

You want Mr Wegg for a thing like this. Where is he when you need him?

 

never mind - I've pretty much decided to buy an LC4 instead.

 

I bet that's changed by lunchtime

 

Don't go out in the rain..

 

heh. I looked at one yesterday, an '02 model in the limited edition
black and red paint that was available that year. £2995, which is
about the going rate. Very clean, FFS, and the "touring" (hahaha) 18l
tank.

v.temped.

Need Zymurgy to stump up for the Tiger first, mind.

 

I wouldn't.

Are you regretting buying yours?

I don't remember Veggie having any problems with his.

 

Not at all. It's great fun being faster than sports bikes but you
really do have to be selective about where you're going to take on the
big boys.

I think mine was simply a case of whoever makes the instruments
supplying KTM with a shitter.

 

FFS ?

Yup, I have a tame Mancunian coming down to relieve me of the CCM
(hopefully)

Watch this space.

P.

 

of course, we know the problem isn't with you, but with a certain
other useless tosser.

will do.

 

sure - on the right sort of very twisty road, ideally with a rippled
or otherwise dodgy surface, on my R30 I could leave pretty much
everyone playing "catch up".

which one do you actually have?

The one I'm looking at is this:

They're a good looking bike, most people prefer them to the sanitised
version I've got. The engine's a bit harsher than mine due to the
latest generation having a balancer shaft to smooth out some of the
vibration but it's not as if you'd be doing big mileages so wgaf about
a bit of vibration. Don't expect to see anything out of the mirrors.

 

Veggie has an LC4. IIRC bought in 2001.

Ged, it's like a house-buying chain.

 

Point it at a corner and throw it on its side. I don't bother putting
my knee out unless it feels as if it's running out of tyre and I don't
do the whole foot out bit because I'm shit at it.

 

Dunno. My only attempts at riding like that were when we did the flat
track day and I was totally fucking useless. So useless that I was put
into the numpties group when it came to race time and I couldn't even
win that.
