    Both of mine were red...unfortunately I've only got a black and white picture of the second one.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Isn't pink just "light red"?

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Nice right up on the GPz in this month's Bike, celebrating the Ninja.

    They got current BSB ZX-10 rider Simon Andrews to ride it on a track and he loved it, although he wouldn't swap his ZX-10R for it

    I can understand that, once owned a 1000 MK2 full Ian Dyson bol-dor
    set up well enginered bikes.
    What are they like to handle with the 16" front wheel never tried one myself, I think the last models had larger front wheels I may be wrong.

    One of the few sports bikes around that won't become cosmetically dated, like the ZX-7R or TL1000S.
    On the other hand, 2004-5 FirEbLaDe, anybody?
