    Hi,
    There seems to be a few 750Ds in NZ, think they imported a few in the early '90's.
    Last ride I went on a long ride (400 k's Christchurch n back) I ended up with a sore bum too, put it down to having no padding (on me bum I'm bloody skinny)! Am thinking about removing the cover (of the seat not me bum) and adding some foam to the seat. Weather was good yesterday, went for a ride 100 k's.

    I know where they hide the speed cameras round 'ere but every time I get to a nice twisty bit o road and think I'll have a bit 'o-fun a cop magically appears too.

    Might pay to get them tyres looked at though, that cop must have had good eyesight! Maybe they were turning round too fast? 8O

    Are you heading down 'ere for the Brass Monkey?

    No, too far, too cold, boss wont let me- something like that!
    Mine came into NZ 2001. Clock currently reading 17000ks- i got it at 13000- May have done more, who knows? but certainly not around the clock.

    I have noticed an issue that when you ride hard into a corner and hit a bump the bike goes unstable, as if the frame or forks are flexing. Anyone else notice this? I am running quite high front fork pressures. Has anyone else noticed this?

    :D

    That's a late import very low k's too. Mine is showing it's age.

    I don't run any pressure in mine. I have a fork brace fitted. Sometimes when slowing and moving back into my lane I get a quick "head shake" from the front end.
