    Long time reader, first time poster.

    Got my license in July and started my riding career on a 2009 GS500F.



    Why didn't I start this sooner?

    Re: Show and Tell: What bike do you ride?? - Part 1

    I bought a 2012 696 Monster the other week and am enjoying it , makes a change riding something that doesn't weigh over 200kg.
    It needs new tyres , they have only done 7000km , but they are the originals fitted to the bike and are a little old and hard.

    One of the blokes at work joked that i just need four more bikes and will have one for every day of the week.

    Nice machine there. Can't imagine what 200+ hp would feel like.

    Meanwhile, there's been a little upgrade in the shed...

    DSC_0243.jpg

    02/2000 ZX-6R with just under 14k on the clock. Old but new. Cost me $3800 plus about $1300 worth of tyres and servicing.

    Cheers,

    Wow!

    Those things look amazing.



    I would be a little worried about the safety on them when moving between other vehicles
    as nobody would hear them coming & they are quite fast.

    I will have to be a little more careful in traffic , need to make sure I ride like I am invisible.

    I had wanted one since the Project Livewire was announced back in 2014 but was put off by the near on $50k price so hadn't even test ridden one when they finally arrived here in Australia.
    From what I understand it hasn't exactly been a resounding sales success and is being spun off into it's own brand.

    There is a LiveWire trade-in deal at the moment , which is what I went there to check out.

    It will take a bit to get used to not having a cloth or brake lever and cruse control is a new one for me (on a bike)

    oh yeah... and that is one reason I bought a 12R !
    157kw at idle to a max of 171 as speed increases

    That snout might be not the best bit of design but damn it works!

    Am not used to using a Mac for resizing photos , I tried yesterday and gave up.
    Wound up doing it on my other pc.
    LiveWire Dash.jpg
    LiveWire rhs.jpg
    LiveWire lhs.jpg

    Some aspects are taking a little time to get used to , in eco mode it's almost like one peddle driving in a Tesla (have test driven one of those), you pretty much just need to roll off the throttle to slow down with minimal use of the brakes.
    It's about 250kg and a little top heavy , but once you are on the move.
    Last night I charged it to 92% and it had about 75% when I got home from work today, about a 50km round trip.
    Thats about 10km of back streets & the rest highway with speeds from 60-80kph & some roadworks thrown in and stop start traffic.

    Cruze control on a motorbike is also a novelty for me but it seems to be fairy simple to use.

    The servicing intervals surprised me , first is at 1600km then every 8000 (typical Harley intervals)
