Hi All,
Im Mitch from Sydney, I just put down a deposit on a Crossrunner, hopefully picking it up on Thursday.
Its my first grown up bike, Ive been riding around on an old beat up ZZR250 for the last couple of years, just to get me from my L plates to my full license.
I really wasnt expecting to love the crossrunner as much as I did when i test rode one, but compared to the other bikes I took out ( V-strom 650 & Versys 1000 ) there was no comparison, the crossrunner just felt like the bike for me.
Looking forward to being a part of this forum.
I`ll post up pics when I pick up the beast!

Hi Mitch Welcome to the forum. I think that you have made a good choice but then of course I'm biased. Enjoy your new bike and let us all know how you get on with it

I don't know how that screen provides so much protection, but for it does!
Must be cause I'm vertically challenged
Now to accessorize

What's the orange thing on the fork?
Is it a reflector? Something specific to the Australian regs?

Hi Mitch. Greetings from over here. You may have seen Joe is trying to organise a ride out for us UK Cr's to Statford on Avon. Forget it - let's have a ride out to see Mitch. Cheers
