Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
Monster 1200 is a do it all beast Ah yes Perkles, the Monster 1200, yeah i've been thinking about it too, as it sorts the 'cool factor, easy to commute on and still have some fun at the weekends'. It's the slimline version of the Diavel in my mind, of which i do like the Diavel, yet not sure what i...

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
Speed triple is good. Try the S1000r if you're after a sporty naked. Diavel is ugly XSR900 is boring Hey Kwacky, I'm thinking more 'cafe racer, old school or retro' looks wise hence the DIavel and XSR900 going into the mix. I've looked at the S1000R though, and clearly it has amazing reviews, yet n...

Well gents as I can't really ride the Zx-10r I'm thinking on changing...again... What should I go for considering my riding consists of mainly; - commuting - weekend catch up with the biker lads - one or two long distance trips a year (1k or less) - nipping out for some time on my own I've been thin...

Spoke with Nick at Jordanbikes, the owner, and he is on the look out in the interim for another bike for me. I'm thinking either 899 or 1199 and head on back to Ducati ownership, y...

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
Call Tom at MCT, they will have notes on your bike on their system. They are always happy to chat. When I spoke to him I think he said my bike needed more compression damping. Yeah part of me is thinking to get booked in with them to do the whole lot, change the bushes, do the oil, set it up for me...

Re: 2001 Honda VTR Firestorm.
Having ridden it boys I can say it's a cracker. And the reason it glimmers so is down to the copious amount of polish we put on it at mine one day!

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
Can't you reject the bike and ask for a replacement? P.S. Perkles works for the robotics side of Kawasaki. I've thought of that yet they've done everything to help when others wouldn't so as it's such a nigglely thing I'm happy to get it done and not go down that route to be fair Kwacky. Carpe de P...

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
Thanks for the advice Perkles I'll make sure they do that. Monty it's a specific one of the set they're short on. 44065-0039 'bushing front fork' so I'm trying to find that on eBay etc. If not then it's 10-day back order waiting time and then fitting in mid-July. Hence me asking. Carpe de Pasty...

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
An update on the suspension issues... After a suspension diagnostic test at P&H it turns out that Mike at MD Racing was spot on, both fork bushes have gone! Very unusual they said considering the mileage. Jordan Bikes have been brilliant and authorised all the work at P&H so one can't compla...
