Stretched@Birth Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 So, the bikes are in and we're on our way back to durban. The fully built bike is my mate's one, but the motor that comes with the other one is a brand new recon unit that's just been assembled by an excellent mech so I think I'm getting the better deal. The frame for mine is already chopped and has a shorter seat, so my rebuild path is kinda decided for me. So, the final pic is what I'll be going for, but with lights and indicators for road use. Can't wait. Some inspiration for you... I’ve collected more here: https://pin.it/osg7t4aqnbsoza One day I’ll get to do my dream build! Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Very nice, but I still want to be able to take it off road. That road bike fork wouldnt like that one bit, but it sure looks pretty!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) No man, don’t ruin itIf it doesn’t look right, they’ll not stay on until I go off road, or I’ll make some that do. Edited October 21, 2019 by Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I see Holeshot is selling the Vitpilen 701 for R120k, down from R150k.Always loved the look, and they lend themselves to mods very nicely too...... https://www.wheels24.co.za/BikesQuads/meet-the-only-tricked-out-husqvarna-701-vitpilen-in-south-africa-20181011

Maybe I just don't deal well with thumpers but I found the engine very lumpy and not pleasing to ride. So much so, that the test ride was literally around the block. Never had such a strong sense of dislike from the get go. The 401 however, is a laugh to ride. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
IceCreamMan Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I had a duke 690. Rode it everywhere even long distance. Long distance was not as pleasant but commuting was a hoot. Same motor as the husky. My son had the rc390. Damn that lil bike impressed me no end

With the weather we're having in CT today (rain) my left knee is throbbing reminding me of the last fateful time I rode a ZX250R almost 20 years ago...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 It would seem it will be out of most average adults reach, price put at around $10k!!!!!At first I was like "well, that's normal for a superbike" Until I saw it was a 250....
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) At first I was like "well, that's normal for a superbike" Until I saw it was a 250.... It's a "special" bike built to compete in the local Japanese championships. I believe it revs insanely high too. Will try and find the article I read on it....... Edit, here we go. 4 cylinder, 20,000rpm, 50hp and rumoured to be WELL over $10k. Ouch...... https://www.asphaltandrubber.com/rumors/2020-kawasaki-ninja-zx-25r-rumors/ Edited October 23, 2019 by Steven Knoetze (sk27) Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and the nerd 2
Chris_ Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I'm not sure about that front light cluster - it looks a bit fiddly, but the rest is oh-my-gawd perfect
dirtypot Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Even their video makes it look like a hooligans weapon. I like. Chris_ 1
