Wow , both awesome bikes and both 02 green , too bad the stripes are screwed up on both of them .
This is going to be a tough vote but may have to go with Don Bob since I have seen this bike in person and have hoisted a few with Don . As a matter of fact , I still owe him for a lunch he bought me a couple of years ago.

[flying dave]

The Thrilla in Manilla, errr, the North East....

[Dallas]

Both those bikes are winners!!

BTW: Wouldn't it make sense to call the winner "2011 BOTY"?

[Kawasaki Phil]

Now I have to decide between the two bikes I voted for in the original polls.........this will not be an easy one.

[zrxrob]

Hey Dave, what brackets are they that attach yer Brembos to the Ohlins forks out of curiosity.

[Kawasaki Phil]

Thanks mate, I've got the Clever Wolf Racing ones on mine, I have the Nissin ZX-14 Calipers.

Mine are pretty much the same type, CNC'd from billet, thats why I was interested to know what yours were, they look superb. Congrats on the bike.....as Robbie Phillis (google him if you dont know the name) would say "it looks horn"

Thanks sir! I always liked our English friends way of putting it as something "looks the dogs danglies"!

[Kawasaki Phil]

Thanks sir! I always liked our English friends way of putting it as something "looks the dogs danglies"!

I was working at the Island Classic at Phillip Island a few weeks ago, Graham Salter one of the English (or Pommie as we call them) Team described the Moriwaki Kawasaki Z1000 as "quite a device"

My vote's in...
Tough decision, both bikes are gorgeous! Best of luck to both competitors.

[zrxrob]

While DonBobs english lessons are lacking so to speak his bike in person is a work of art not to take away from dg's bike by any means its also very nice but I've never personally laid eyes on it.either bikes worthy of the title I just know DonBobs and the attention to detail as well

[SPORTSMAN]

Thanks for the kind words Rob, warms the cockles of my heart like an unsnapped trap!
