"Zixxer's First Track Day"
Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2011 7:33 am
Took the Zixxer out for it's first blast round Eastern Creek yesterday http://www.easterncreekridedays.com.au/ecrd_welcome
Been on this track many times before on CB600F Hornet, Duc M800, SV1000S but never an inline 400. Was very happy and surprised how well it went. Handled well, slight shudder cured by one click harder on the fork damping, disconnected the speedo cable as I've not yet fixed the speed limiter, scrubbed in the Michelin Pilots and was soon keeping up with the 600's in the twisties. Obviously twatted down the straight but tipping into turn 1 (sweeping left hander) felt pharking good.
So for ~AUD$3,000 that includes bike, new tyres, rebuilt rear shock, damper and other random sh*t, I'm all smiles.
Now to make it look half decent.......
