New bike

My intention is travelling this year so I needed a new bike up to the challenge, I really wanted the new Speed Triple RS, the faired one but I couldn't bring myself to leave 26k€ on the table so I went about trying loads of bikes, I was almost going to get a S1000XR, but that frightened me aswell, With it's 28k€ price tag with right options, so I ended up going for an ex demo Kawaski Ninja 1000sx. for 14k€.It hasn't got all the right stuff either but hey hoe I'll add. It's missing: centre stand, electrical usb port, and heated grips. Never mind it is an excellent ride and a really smooth engine, with plenty of young ponies and some interesting gadgets : Traction control, an IMU, a shifter up and down, ABS, and all sorts. Can't wait to get her out on a dry road! In the meantime I eventually got my RG heads back from Laurent after a year! what a mess, luckily I managed to find some in Spain to be going on with. More news as it happens. i noticed the kids FZR has a break in the fairing which needs fixing let alone getting the forks staight.
