The day they packed up our house in Bathurst this one rode away with a new owner. Guess which was the hardest to see go. http://users.tpg.com.au/kkmiller/bike/GS1000G01.jpg This one turned up a few days ago. http://users.tpg.com.au/kkmiller/bike/versys01.jpg It sure is work getting used to such a different ride. Even after 8 months off the Suzuki my body thinks the footpegs should be just down that way a little more, and the seat back there a bit, and the horn goes whenever I hit the blinkers, and there's this thing happening between the kick stand and neutral when I hit the starter, and whoever thought of that digital speedo, and where's the gear indicator? On the other hand, it's a great bike for city riding where I'm now working and the instant snap open of the fuel injection makes me feel like I've moved from a farm hack to a muster horse. Pity it started to rain two days after I bought it. It's been a long time since I got home soaked to the skin. > This one turned up a few days ago. > http://users.tpg.com.au/kkmiller/bike/versys01.jpg Congrats looks like a nice bike - welcome back to the fold !

Wow, that's quite a change - no wonder it feels 'different'! What fun :-) betty, listening to the rain and hoping it stops by morning > This one turned up a few days ago. > http://users.tpg.com.au/kkmiller/bike/versys01.jpg That'd be a culture change! Congrats on the new bike.

And it came to my mind about that old joke of the young bull and the old bull. "Hey Pop, look at all them cows down there. Let's race down and do one of them over." "No son, let's just amble down and have the lot of them." Well, the Suzuki never had to apologise, but the Versys has the urgency of the younger bull. I just hope it supplies the testosterone as well. :-) Kim > The day they packed up our house in Bathurst this one rode away with a new > owner.

Unfortunately, only available in green in Oz. I'm told next year it will be burnt orange only. Other countries have the full range - and in the UK there is a thing about the red bike where the owners take off the Kawasaki badging and put on a Honda or Ducati sticker, or Ferrari, or a mock-up of the BMW propeller logo with the BMW replaced with WTF.
