How's the bike now? Alamak u order ur stuffs already? I need a new paint or new left side fairing. Nevermind, i take out my side fairings and ask sengkwang to make a 40L metal tank following the shape of the fairings....hheheh. Can go thailand no need to stop la! But the rider need to stop.

 

ya lah ordered but now like feel a bit regret - coulda use the money for paniers n top box heh. anyway for u not so bad as mine. mine quite deep man the scratches. jus now fitted the stebel at ah hien mtechnik but knnz total 85 bux. sorry dintigger, it was kinda late - i reached there like 7 plus. adi, urs did u use bracket to mount on roght side of engine? hien jus replace at same position of stock horn. also, the stebel my dad said inspection no pass? but heck ah inspection still long way

[dintigger]

International Bike of the Year 2007/2008

 

The International Bike of the Year has been selected for over 20 years, based on polling editors from motorcycle magazines all over the planet. The voting—organized by Holland’s MotorWereld magazine—is simple. Editors are asked to rank their magazine’s top three picks.

 

One look at this year’s results makes it hard to say that it was a hard-won contest for Ducati; the 1098 won with a huge 13-point lead. Winning International Bike of the Year underlines the fact that Ducati has made a world-class motorcycle with the 1098.

 

The tough choices were made when defining numbers two and three. Triumph won the IBOTY title last year with its Daytona 675, and the British manufacturer was again able to impress journalists worldwide with the naked Street Triple. In third place we find for the first time a three-way tie: Honda CBR600RR, Yamaha YZF-R1 and Ducati 1098S.

 

With the 1098 in IBOTY’s top spot, 1098S in a shared third place, the DesmosediciRR in sixth and the Hypermotard in seventh, it’s clear that Ducati has only won several world titles in racing in 2007 but also the hearts and minds of journalists worldwide.

hello,

 

i am fm KL n hve just placed order for a red versys, delivery end june. over in msia it costs RM48,642.50 (@2.3 = S$21,150) on the road. and dealer give credit of rm1k towards motoclothes/accessories. hve decided to add the flwg : 1. givi top n side boxes (E350N top n V35 side), 2. Hepco n Becker engine guard, 3. givi D405ST windscreen and 4. headlight protector kit (from motovation - but out of stock). will later add sliders, gear shift indicator (i get lost with six speeds, currently riding shadow 600 which has only 4 speeds) and maybe a scottoiler. i am also keen in getting the happy-trail skid plate (anyone doing a bulk purchase ?). if fellow versys riders from spore need prices/info on kawasaki spares or other accessories, let me know n i will get them. also if anyone is riding up here n wish to hve a guide, give me a shout. ps. was staying in thompson green, spore back in the nineties n since retired back here. maybe the oldest of the V riders !.
