    After a "wonderful" journey [1] via M54>M6>M1>M25>A12 to Chelmsford and
    back I now have another toy tucked up in the stable ;o)

    An F650 in "I want to be a Kawasaki" lime green.

    [1] as in the weather was hideous.

    Heh. I did Chelmsford>A12>M25>M1>Milton Keynes
    and back for my new toy today. If I'd have known
    I would have waved!

  4. Um, is this really Kawasaki green, (which is disgusting enough), or that
    hideous and yucky BMW jade green use on the discontinued F650ST?

    Gay leathers.

    Fancy a run in the morning? Probably gonna do the
    Burnham Bends with the other pseudo-Italian poofs
    if it's not pissing down. Ron Parkinson's at 10am.

    Give me a call if you need me. I'll drop Ken a txt
    and see if I can find OzMick's number too...

    Ah, I see you're squashing...

    I like them too. My Dad had an 87 model, in silver [0], which had
    horrible black plastic covers over the exhausts. Looked nasty. Apart
    from that, I loved that bike.

    [0] E404PGL where are you now?

    Nay. Shane has it.
    In the final summation, the gearing is just too low.

    Yes it would've been nice if 5th had of been more of an overdrive.

    As you can pull away in 2nd, yes. About 15% up would be right and I reckon
    the 1100 would pull out 135ish anyway. The only thing I've seen was a 5%
    higher top cog from Ultimate Source.
