I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Cool article. They've got some neat mods in there, closer to the original stripped for performance choppers than anyone has been in quite awhile.

One of the related videos looks like a blast, too. Just skip to :38 and get down with the music.

And if you're unfamiliar with his blog, it's pretty drat cool(and usually NWS). Lots of vintage photos and old-style choppers.

Oh god I want a street 1190R so bad. I've even contemplated getting an 1125R and modifying 1190 race fairings and radiators for it.

If Erik can pull off selling street bikes again I'll be so happy.

It's far out of your budget anyway and not really a "starter bike" ;) Congrats on your "motorcykelkørekort" ;)

As I understand you're in the Copenhagen area. If you need any help buying your first bike, I'm available, provided I'm given reasonable response time. I'd like to help out.

Thanks, and I appreciate any and all help I can get regarding my first motorcycle :)

But I'm currently ridiculously busy for the next two weeks building the track and various facilities for the Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix, so it'll have to be around mid-august at the earliest. BTW, you really should show up for the grand prix. They're celebrating the 100th anniversary of Alfa Romeo, so they'll have loads of classic models on show and they'll be flogging quite a few of them down my trackthe track :)
