    New baby coming: another Italian!!!

     I know it's not a scooter, but I still remain faithful to my Nexus and it will no doubt still be enjoyed, you know how much I love my NexusAngel  also cause it has a fuel tank with range and a fat comfy seat LOL

    But - I collect my new Italian tomorrow, it's also red, fancy that... it's a twin, it's about as light as the Nexus... only a few more HP, like about 50Surprise 

     sorry, just showing off cause I'm getting rather excited and can't wait:

     

    I'll be back with some more Nexus trip pics soon enough....Wink

    Very nice Opascoot.....one of our clients here at work has a black one.....I didn't get to ride it, but i got a chance to sit on it for a while and it felt really good.   I've seen all the footage on the net of Ducati SBK rider Ruben Xaus on one.....watching him slide the back wheel into a corner one handed is awesome!!!

    Enjoy the new toy!!!!

     Yes, I'm a naughty boy.... This new baby's delivery will be delayed a few days, it's bucketing down here and something's come up preventing me going in tomorrow, ho hum, I'll have it midweek sometime...

    It will fit nicely between the Nexus - for any time rides...and the GTR-for long interstate runs... but I'd think one of the 2 big ones might go, two red Italians versus one black Jap, have a guess of the outcomeConfused

    You know it weighs not much more than the Nexus, and it's 1100ccSurprise 

    thanks for your comments guys - I'll post a "family" snap once they're all together lol

    I was going to ask which one was going cause your shed aint big enough Big Smile

    Well done on your new toy Opascoot.  Looks like the savings of not 4WDing are paying off Smile

     Well done, Opascoot.  There certainly seems to be something alluring about a  red Italian. Is it the Gina Lolobrigida factor?

    Take care and enjoy it when it arrives.  Mike

     I've had it a almost a week no, only got about 450kms up, poor little Kawasaki, it's being neglected... but I parked the Nexus together and they look so nice beside each other in red!!! It's lighter to move around than the Nexus, but it's a thrill to ride I must say...

    won't post much more, not being a scooter so after this pic it's back to Nexus rides and pics okBig Smile

    Very happy with my choice!!

    It's a nice bike. It's also a great ride around that part of the world. I know that corner on Old Razorback Rd. The view behind you as you took the photo is pretty good.

    Magnifique!  That's a trick looking ride.  Goddamit those Italians know a thing or two about style.

    I love the Hypermotard!  It is my favourite bike at the moment (along with the 848).  Is this the S?  What is the difference between the two anyway?
