My new ride,outside my mates getting ready for it's first welsh ride today.

Looking good Alfie .... hope you had a good run out in Wales   

     Yam

Yes sound thanks Yam typical weather though rain,good thing was it handled well and no shorts(electrical)after all we buy to ride regardless of weather (to a limit).Got to get them 600 miles for the first service.

Really nice bike Alfie I bet your well happy    Wales?  Ponderosa cafe? Dibble are clamping down on reg's and zorsts in that area for a while so be careful.

Cheers Sim,thankfully I wont be modding too much this year,(up to now).Yes well pleased up to now but sticking to 3 to 4 thousand revs for the first 600 miles.

Oh yes, now that I like the look of. 

I could help you put some miles on it Alfie...

Very nice looking bike Alfie  & thanks Sim for the heads up re: Wales

really mean ride looks great let us know how she handles

Hi Alfie
Really pretty and well done in all the way.
But only one seat or the rear is an option, since i see the rear foot pegs on?
The rear disk for me, is truly a must have and not those "not safe drum brakes "
Have plenty miles on it with always a big smile ever

Hi Jose rear seat is standard in Britain as with ABS,however in America both are added extras and have to be paid for.Ardie up to now the bike is very nimble and certainly goes were you point it. The kerb weight is only 228kg with 14 ltrs fuel.

Hi Alfie once again.
Yours "HAVE THE LOOK" and all that a bike needs to simple "turn the heads around".
Not too weight, good brakes, color, enough cc's for a big journey (ride position and pleasant handlebars) or simply in "urban mode"...
I like in all bikes the white color as the black (mate or gloss) and red ones.

And yours with the rear seat, the good job well done black mate with white color, the shock absorber in sight and not hided
...is outstanding!!!
The main exhaust seemed like a machine gun:
 

Cheers Jose I appreciate your remarks.

Looks great, loving the lack of chrome ...in the throws of decroming my tractor..

Nice looking bike Alfie 

Smart looking bike Alfie, enjoy it, and hope the weather is good for you.

Nice bike mate, lookin goood

Fitted a National Cycle Street Shield to take the bearness of the front of the bike.

Nice screen Alfie, should give a nice bit of protection from the elements 

Cheers Sim it is the one off the intruder,glad it came in handy.

Better pic of the bike.

The more I look at it, the more I like it.  Have to say, if I was after a new bike today, it'd be between this & the Indian Scout - but this is about half the price.  Clean, uncluttered lines - nice ride

Nice Alfie definitely a "modern" intruder, had the er6f same engine and a doddle to ride have fun

screen looks like it was made for the bike fits the lines so well looks the better for it class

Looks almost like it was for the bike from standard! Well done for recycling your old screen Alfie!

Made some pannier stays to take my panniers ,and make the bike more versatile.

Fitted a Tutoro Auto chain oiler today,easier than a scotoiler.

They work well on it, & that oiler looks neat

They suit the bike Alfie, it certainly is a nice looking versatile bike, Nice tidy jobs too! how does it ride compared to the M800?.

To be honest Sim,in my opinion better, Pros: smoother engine,better brakes, very nimble, lighter, inline twin engine,ABS,Tacho fitted as standard.    Neg: chain drive,seat as hard as nails (needs upgrading)still looking for the extra gear even though it has six. Unable to give a two up comment as have not had a pillion yet.

The build quality seems good,have take exhaust header studs out an copper sealed them back in,also vaselined all the electrical connections.Fitted the Tutoro Auto chain oiler,and put a pair of bobbins on the rear frame,much easier to use with the paddock stand,do miss the bike lift under the bike though,as the exhaust cat and box are in the way.Had the 500 mile service last week £84 99 for an oil change.
Oil filter £10:00   Oil silkolene 10/40 £15:37  disposal £4:99  Labour £40:47

Just read through my comments they may seem a little negative,but the bike handles well,and I am made up with it.

Sounds good Alfie, it's a lovely looking bike for sure! glad your enjoying it 

Hey Alfie,

Looks a nice enough bike to me   ...... but then again, I don't worry too much about the looks, as long as its a bike I can enjoy riding, then I'm happy ..... & there are not many bikes that I could not find some enjoyment from. Your Kwak cruiser is a modern interpretation of the cruiser theme, and as a practical road machine I think it has plenty to offer .... i.e. lots of fun at a modest operating budget.

  To Sim's comment .... glad you are out enjoying it ... I'm very envious of your 'bike time' as I'm still stuck with a heavy workload, and my bikes have had to take a back seat for awhile, I'm still getting an odd chance to nip out on the bike - but nowhere near enough .... & absolutely no tinker time, but a back-log of jobs I'd like to do. 

You keep at it & enjoying it ..... Top man !

Cheers for the comments very appreciated. Dave R  the Tuturo Auto is about the same price as Scotoiler but in fairness you do not have to break into vaccum or electrical fittings saving your warranty, they are a very good system.

Any updates/reviews Alfie?
