I've been following this site for more than a year, so I tough it would be time to introduce my self I'm From the Netherlands ( you'll know that little country from Heineken, Amsterdam, cheese, wooden shoes, and tulips xD so I already apologize if my English is not that good as yours.
I've bought my Suzuki gsx650f GT in October '09 and now i have more than 42.000 kilometres driven.
my options on the bike are:
- side cases (suzuki) - top case - tank bag (suzuki) - centre stand ( i don't know how to say in English, but its not the jiffy, but that other stand) - alloy anodized bar ends (steering weights) - alloy anodized brake and clutch lever - led tail light - led parking light (the little t10 lights) - navigation (with a garmin-asus a50 phone - 12v (for gps) - red wheel stripes (suzuki) - touring wind screen ( with adjustable deflector) - Superpole exhaust (with DB-killer for riding in Germany) - steel front brake hose

Wow, great laugage set up; you are ready to go anywhere on that. Love the assesiores I don't think most of the stuff is even offered in the USA. Well welcome to the forum, enjoy! Ride safe, Kippy
we've started in Deventer with 46 motorcycles, the route was 150 km, and to get to the starting point it also was 150 km's so in total i 've drove 450 km's ( in the movie you'll see only the half of the group, because the roads are too small to drive with a group bigger than 30 bikes)
more photo's of sunday are over here: (click the and you will see the photo's)

Hey mic!
Already seen you posting on MF (Kadett_GSX there). Quiet the km's you've riden on the bike. Do you use the bike purely for fun or use it for work/school as well? I thought my 20k km in 2,5 years was 'alot' How long till you can remove the 25kw kit?
Sorry I couldn't make it last Sunday. I've pulled a leg muscle (binneste dijbeen spier/adductoren) so even something as simple as putting my leg up the footrest caused pained beyond believe. Not really a nice thing whilst riding. Got enough rest now that I can ride again. See ya around!

Is this your first set of PR2, because I cant believe you can burn the rear tire up within 10k km on 25kw?! No offense of course! With the mileage you do, why dont you stretch the service interval to 10k km and switch oil+filter at the same time. Probably what I'm going to do from now on. Probably getting 10k km a year which means 1 service a year.

my last rear tire was a pilot road 2, 2ct and that one did last 14.000 km's the bridge bt-023 dit last 16.000, and the bt-021 did last 12.000, but i did not like the bt-023 because it was terrible in rain, and the front tire was also after 16.000 ready to replace, but my pilot road front tire is capable to get up to the 20.000 and that my PR needed to replace at 14.000.... i have no idea, moastly i drive highway at 160 km/u on 2.9bar
and my service interval is each 12.000 km's, so the oil was refreshed at 1000, 6000, 15000, 24000, 36000. so it was nog 6 but 5 times, my mistake and filters are replaced at: 15000,24000, and 36000
