South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

Hi peeps my wife and I live in barnstaple North Devon. And both have Kawasaki zx10r ninjas both highly modified. We go to the nurburgring at least once a year.Hope to find some good meet ups and ride outs in the southwest cheers

Hello there, welcome to the site

i beleive Red5 is planning a trip to the Ring for next year, check the ride out or meets sections. There is also a friendly ride, easy paced 'get to know you' sort of ride out coming soon.

Otherwise jump in and enjoy the site ;)

Wellcome both, and red5 is def the man to speak to, think he was going to try and go this year too!

Hi thanks for the welcome guys, we've been going over there now for about 7 years. Just come back from a two week trip to the mosel and the ring when I figure how to post picks I'll put a post up

Hello and welcome. Mosel eh? I stayed in traben trarbach for sbk at the ring some years back, absolutely brilliant area of Germany. Also stayed in Boppard on the Rhine the following year but I have only just got back into bikes after a 12 year hiatus. I'm only about 8 miles from you so when anything is happening it will be posted here.

welcome along

Hope to see you out soon!

isr front master cylinder

The wife's is much the same apart from wheels brakes and a few other bits

I guess the wheels are way lighter?

How did they change the feel of the bike?

yeah less than half the weight , you cannot believe the weight difference.
it makes the bike nimble as anything feels like a four hundred.
and reduces the tyre wear ive done two years riding which included two trips to the ring and they still reckon they have a good thousand miles to go mad. And of course they look the testicles

A pair for my Fizzer would be on my wish list. Sadly out of my budget though new and second hand I couldn't trust.

Welcome too SWB
