Wanted somewhere to keep track of my little N400 bits and bobs so figured here's a nice spot for it...
Started riding in December '17 after my long line of male family members had been into it for a while.
My Uncle raced for Honda in Dubai for a little while. Dad ensured I grew up with Ducati's structured around the house, and my younger brother tracks his S1000RR.
As much as I was told I wasn't allowed to get into bikes, what did they expect from me?
My passion lies in European cars and have successfully spent a fair bit of track time behind the wheel of both BMW's and Audi's. (E46 M3, F82 M4, 17' RS3, 17' TTRS & 17' RS5)
Currently have a 2018 A5 Sportback as my daily after selling my much loved M4 and buying the bike as my 'go quick' thing (I must be getting old...)
As New Zealand runs a structured licence, we are limited to what we can legally ride in the first 12-24 months of our licence - Sub 650cc and restricted in some cases.
Being only 5ft1 I struggled for a while to find a bike that would suit my height and size in general. I learnt on a Hyosung GT650R and will note I absolutely hated it. I initially had the RC390 on the books, but I couldn't even get my feet down so wrote it off quickly. At that time, the Ninja 300 was the only option until I quickly learnt the N400 was soon to be released. And so I chucked one on order and waited patiently for it's arrival to me on Valentines Day (Feb 14th) (Whoever said Diamonds were a girls best friend never owned a sports bike...)
And so here we are today! 4 months later and 1,500kms on the clock I am absolutely loving it.
First addition to my new bike was an updated registration plate, and as such, the bike is now known as the "CAOTC" Ninja.
I've ordered a Slip On Akrapovic in Carbon which is due to arrive late August/Early Sept and between all this I hope to get onto fixing my fairing, a tail tidy and integrated lights.
Stay tuned for more :yahoo:
