 Hi all ...
Mike from Lower Hutt, New Zealand.
I`ve had my K2 for about 6 months now, a returning rider whose last bike was a Kawasaki H2 way back in 1979.
First impressions were how great it was to have a bike that actually stops and turns well (in comparison) as well as goes like a shower of shit  :)
It`s been gently as you go till now, riding it in the 2 - 4k range while I reminded myself what to do and how .. until last weekend when I suddenly discovered how much different it is once it actually gets a few more revs up :)
Such fun!!
Great looking bike (I actually paid for it as soon as I saw it without taking it for a ride even) and they really seem to be a great all rounder.
Cheers Mike.

Gidday Mike, Colin from Christchurch. Nice to finally start getting some more Kiwi's on board.

Yep, you're doing it right in taking it easy for the first bit. There's plenty of bikes out there faster & better handling than ours, but the 14 is a bloody good all rounder & a shit load of fun when ya crack her open! :cheers:  (on a closed circuit only naturally :imrgreen:)

😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

Cheers Colin .. funny thing, even though I`ve never seen another around here, the first thing the swinglift driver from PBT said when he saw it was "I`ve got one of those" ... and that has now happened twice since :)

Great bike , took me a while to get the hang of mine too. But really enjoy it.

Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎
