My new bike

**zc911** · 10-29-2007, 05:36 PM

Just got her into Canada today

I am taking it to GP bikes first thing tommorow beucase there is an outstanding recall, and it needs to be done before i can get it registered. I might not get to ride her this year if they have to order the parts

ahhh don;t they look cute.

Very nice. Any problems bringing into Canada or was it pretty easy?

thanks

This was my 5th or 6th time i personallly imported somthing (car or bike), and i think i ahve gone at lteast that many times for friends.
This was the EASIEST yet. I think customs must be getting fed up with how many cars/bikes are being exported. nobody even came to look at the bike to verify what i was importing lol

i acutally find this more comfy than the 749 too, plus it;s such a beautiful design. i think i could ride this all day no prob.
When your tomatoes heal up and you get another bike, let me know,we can go for a ride

I have to agree with you, its a fantastic looking bike...and yes, much more comfortable. Maybe when i have some cash Ill pick one up for the track. Im pretty much healed up, rode all morning. If all goes well, I might do the deal tomorrow, so we'll definitely go for a ride before snow and salt kill it.

i love the ride, but i hate you for having it... wish i had a ducati

out of curiosity how much insurance do you pay on that?

You think the 916/748 is more comfy for you than the 999/749? Really?

Was thinking about the 749s for next season, partly because the ergo's were supposedly more user friendly than the older 996/916.

**zc911** · 10-30-2007, 05:22 PM

your sitting in the same aggresive position, but the seat on the 916 has a nicer curve to it. the 749 was a flat piece of rubber.
Not that the 749 was bad for a sportbike. I found the 749 nicer that my friends ZX6R. If you add some risers to the 916 it would put you in a nicer postion for long rides
The 749 was a biposto, not sure what the seat is like on the 749s
