Hello, Mikael from Sweden checking in
So the 50 year crisis hit and I found myself buying a bike again.
Looked around for some cheap used one but all was "well used" or to expensive, found this little green thing and got a resonable price. Less money than a good used one.
But suddenly the devil hit me and I just had to buy accessories, bling and some hopefully good things :laugh:
Maybe this forum is partly to blame? :laugh:
Ah well if there is moneys left when you die its a failure
Done:
R&G tail tidy and crash protectors
Pillion, tank pads and saddle from Kawasaki
Some random rim stripes
Ordered: (arriving this week?)
Puig windscreen
Shorter adjustable levers
Boosterplug
Maybe:
Ermax belly pan
SC-project exhaust
12-39 gearing
Dreaming?
Öhlins suspension.
Its a small bike or even very small, but so nimble and so fun to drive.
The on/off throttle response is to hate though, seems most Euro4 bikes is that way.
Spoke to a guy with good experience from a Boosterplug on this bike so Ill try.
The higher saddle made a huge difference, I even got some cramps before (maybe it was just me beeing older and unused?)
I owned the bike for 2,5 weeks now and made 2200km, first service done.
Seems its the best thing that happened to me since she threw me out :grin2:
Got me some new gear also, since there was som fluffy things growing on my leather gear, sadly i went cheepo there so I need to buy better next year.
Got my MC license at 16yo and had bikes for like 15 years.
First was a Honda CB125, my moped was faster than that. Got me a Yamaha RD125 (2 cyl 2 stroke), tuned it and yeah that was a funny thing.
Had my brothers Honda CB750 for a while and moved up to a Honda CB900 BolDor, that bike was horrible. Well used and some extremly noicy 4-1 that made it run like ****.
Got me a Honda CB1100F wich I had for 10 years, I loved it even if it was like a bus.
Forgot that I made a holder for a TopBox.
Bought the stuff that hold the pillion, like 50euros
And bolted this to the TopBox mounting.
Now I can alter between Pillion or TopBox with my key and there is no "ugly" holder visible.
