Ask him when he's redecorating the kitchen, the reaction will tell us if it's him or not.

Kept a bike for 12 months? That definitely isn't Cornish.

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
Had a 2013 ZX10R for a year now and great bike. A lot has been said already so won't repeat but my only advice would be get a test ride as you will love it or hate it.
It maybe a IL4 1000CC Jap sportsbike but compared to your previous Blade it really is different animal, GOOD but different . Best description is Perkles comment, in that it is like a 600 on steroids. Personally I love it and the top end is completely bonkers but it doesn't have the instant any gear drive of the Blade if thats what your looking for in a litre sportsbikes. As I say I would get a test ride and enjoy it

I've not had a Kwacker before so time to take the plunge and having seen a mates 636 the build quality is very good.

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
I dont fancy having my head cut off with a Samurai sword so my lips are sealed but they have big plans at the moment not only in motorbikes but the rest of Kawasaki Heavy Industries.They have just signed a massive deal with Boeing and are building a new factory in China to fullfill the demand
I was told that the motorcycle division has never looked stronger and given a taster of the new models they are working on

Anyway, back on topic, I reckon this is an April Fool's joke. Cornish has never owned a bike for that long.

A momentary lapse of reason as they say Kwacky, don't worry normal service is now resumed; back on buying one every 6 months againKwacky wrote:Anyway, back on topic, I reckon this is an April Fool's joke. Cornish has never owned a bike for that long.

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
You forgot Kwacky's Option C.
Don't worry about the mileage as the engine's are solid.
Check to see if they needed a rectifier recall and if so that it's been done.
Otherwise go for the one you like the look of.

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga
Fair point, not worried about the mileage (well if they do a major service as that's a cost i did'nt allow for in the budget) so colour it is, I'm thinking black....Kwacky wrote:You forgot Kwacky's Option C.

I'll check on the rectifier recall and i think a wiring loom one also...

Go for black. It's a well known and heavily documented fact that commoners have a green ninja.
