what  red said about the zzr is right??...cracking bike!!! ...i had a zzr 1100 although that was a bit of a handfull?..the motor was stonking!!!..the 600 isnt a slouch !!.....and its very reliable!...was once the fastest 600 on the market!! so if can pick a good one up for right money then go for it?? ;)

The one I sat on (didn't have the time to test ride it as the shop was closing) was great. I was amazed at how comfortable it was.


I have found one on an 02 plate for £2850, with 14k on the clock.


Other than the horrid colour, it is perfect. Only annoyingly, you don't see many anymore, so if I don't get this one. I either have to travel far, or wait . . . .


If I get this one. I'll probably wrap it. . . . .

It actually looks a lot better in real life.


I am not really interested in looks too much, I care more about mpg, comfort and fun (weird combination I know)


ANYWAYS, any more news on stuttering Fazers?? I find out tomorrow (hopefully)

I will.


I have kind of made up my mind that I want one. . . . . .


I am slowly working my way up to a ZZR1400  :thumbup :woot :woot :thumbup


Just gotta wait for NCB to build up a bit so I can afford the insurance on one :-)

Indeed.


However, it is supposed to be quite easy to ride, and only goes mad if your mad.  :crazy . . . . . .


That's me dead then . . . . . :angel

There ain't many Hondas I like (VTR1000, CBR1000, CBR600, VFR800 . . . . .I think that's it)


Most of those are not viable as a bike for me by either being too old, or too expensive to run.


Is the thou more reliable than the 600??

they may be old but totally reliable and quick ;)  owned all 4 at one time or other. vtr was an sp2 though. wouldn`t refuse any of them if offered tomorrow !! :lol

This is the colour  http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/ks_large_image_popup.jsp?id=201222474217834&channel=DEALERPAGE&adcategory=bikes&largeId=2056245411

 
 
nothing wrong with that colour looks good,not sure about the rim tape though.....my brothers was purple/black not a good combination.......i see it has a aftermarket screen aswell.....i rode my brothers a few times and was surprised at how comfy it was and also quicker than the fazer....let us know how you get on on the test ride......
 one of the good things about getting old is insurance , just took out a new policy for the thou with no ncb.........£182...........once ive sold my 600 and swop my ncb over it will come down to £102...(7 yrs ncb)  ;)

If I get it, I will be taking off that rim tape. . . . .


Annoyingly I won't be able to text ride it til Saturday. Hopefully it will still be there . . . . . :-(

iam sure it will still be there......everyone else at work aswell....always worth putting in a low offer even with a dealer,if he turns you down you can always improve your offer.....good luck with your test ride  ;)
