Kustoms Daily

Yep. Most of you have probably seen on Facebook but here she is.

Just a little 250 as i'm only learning to ride.

Whole point of me buying a bike was to stop putting so many km's on the rotor and to save fuel & parking ($27 a day in the city compared to free for the bike).

So yeah. :D

Very nice!
When I was looking at getting a bike, it was going to be one of these to learn on.
How do you like it? - How much did you pick it up for?

Those things are pretty cruisy to ride.

Not at all 'lairy' but plenty of power on tap.
Only complaint by myself and my friend who owned it was the seating position was a little odd.

Nice purchase otherwise.

Yeah its great to learn on - obviously not the most powerful bike around but yeah does the job. Still would take an fto probably. Handles good aswell.

I bought this for 5500, its an 09 model with 13k on the clock.

Not the cheapest price but I had 3 days to buy a bike and if i didn't get one i was gonna buy a brand new one because I had the test on the following day and had to learn how to ride :lol:.

I'm happy with it anyway. It'll pay for itself in about half a year lol

Forgot to mention I dropped this a few days after i posted it. (couple of days into my license) Was only going 15km/hr and hit some gravel while turning... was fun.

Anyway, still all good! Great on fuel, I get about 420-450 out of a 18L tank 8)

^ Much better than the rx8 getting 300km's out of 60L... Shweet! and free parking... oh man its the sh*t! loving it !

when and where is this DIY day?? I definitely want to attend...as long as there's not much parallel parking involved :| :)

@Kustom Don't worry I ride slow :) I prefer enjoying my ride and the scene around me than do a zerg rush to the summit :P
