the weather broke for this weekend up here so today i fired up the new bike and went for a blast all i can say is unreal what a bike i can't believe all i paid for it was 3000 it is mind numbing how good this bike actually is great handling comfortable and faasstt. i got it up to 260 klick's today a couple of times tomorrow it's getting the big test flatout high speed run 290 should be possible it absolutly flies and it's effortless what a ride. i think i've boldly stepped into the ninties boy's. i'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Hey, congrats man! B)

I felt the same when when I got my 1100 Katana last year.

Word of caution:
Be extra observant of your speed, it's amazing how quickly these "sport/touring" bikes can reach well north of the posted speed limit and how smoothly it feels. ;)

That Great TB33! I'm glad you got the chance to get out on it this year. I had my mk2 up to 200 kph on one of the few straight stretches around here. Luckily for me I had slowed down to 130 when they got me on radar(90 k zone). So yeah, be mindful of that speed and have fun. :)

spoke to soon i guess somebody is looking out for me after all the weather has turned crappy again so the high speed run is on hold i did figure out something out yesterday the only way i won't get tickets (and big ones i might add) is one of two ways throttle lock or radar detector. up till this point i like certain people on here have a fleet of oldies earlist 1973 newest 1981 with many in between. this new fangled technology is cool but i still love my old girls. patton nice wanted poster you might need a better picture for the next one.
