About the same as it is where you are, except we don't need to park the bike due to winter

It was a replacment for my stolen 2008 red one. I didn't have a choice where it came from with in a 50k radius of my house, but it turned out to be from where I got my red one which is Pro Kawasaki Ipswich.

I am hoping that will break up some of the black.

Yep I know exactly what you mean. Doing the rims brightens up the bike a lot, as does the polished exhaust. My Pazzos are titanium-coloured so not too bright. I was contemplating getting some large-scale striping on the fairing to break up the "blackness" a bit.
And black is a bugger to keep clean too!

You're the first I've seen with one. Pics? All I've seen are the ones from Kawi and the ones leaked on the 'net at around the same time.

I hope black grows on you because I think it looks great.

Remember... you took a downgrade on the tires, so either upgrade ASAP or re-learn what these are capable of.

Yeah it has grown on me. I guess because I have been so used to the red one, it's just a tad odd seeing the same bike but in black.

It has Road Warriors on it. I liked the Dunlop Arrow Max's that were on the last bike.

At least you can buy more Dunlop ArrowMax GT501 130/70-17 tires in Australia. They aren't available in the states except as used take-offs from *some* '08 Ninja 250 bikes (many of those even had Bridgestone BT45).
