So my time on the FZ1s has come to an end and I have gone for the Kawasaki ZZR1400, nothing wrong with the FZ1 just that I felt cramped on it and feel more at home on a larger bike. If anyone out there is considering an FZ1 I would highly recommend the bike and urge you to go and get yourself a test ride and see for yourself, it's a great bike and very very capable of holding its own with your R1's, Blades and Gixers being ridden by your average road rider on your average road. The bike is deffinetley a sports bike with raised bars and not a Sport Tourer (my oppinion), I bought the bike thinking it was the natural progression for me as I had an FZS600 and absolutely loved it but the bikes are very different indeed and I found being a big lad that I felt cramped on it. I am gutted that Yamaha dont do a bike like the ZZR as I love Yamaha, I think they are the best of the Jap bikes both in terms of style and quality but they do not have a bike that suits me. :'(
Anyhoos I looked at the Busa, the ZZR and the K1300s, I was put off the Busa with the styling of it, I know thats shallow but it just didn't do it for me and I tried to like it but couldn't. I took the K1300s out for a morning (4 hours) and have to say it was a cracking bike and was very hard to fault, it was very smooth and was mega powerfull, I did however think that it was quite cumbersome and felt the handling was not quite as sharp as I thought it would be but I put that down to the fact that my FZ1 was so easy to pull round a bend, I have had the pegs scraping on the ground many times on the FZ and found it really easy to throw it about. I then found an immaculate used ZZR1400 in Black, well it appears black but when the sun hits the bike it has an awesome metallic blue fleck through i I asked for a test ride and organised it for a couple of days time. Had it out virtually all day and was gutted handing it back, it was perfect. Hugely powerfull silky smooth and handled really well for such a large bike and this was on a shot front tyre. Deal done.
Sorry, I forgot the title of this post...Kawasaki Forum :z
I have no intention of leaving this forum as this is where I cut my teeth on a motorbike and have found the chat and information gathered from here imensely valuable. Most off all though I have met some great people on this forum and have made some good friends who I am sure will be friends of mine for a long time, so to leave here would be unthinkable it's just that I know some of you have had Kwaks and thought you might be able to point me in the right direction fo a source of info regarding mods and tip and stuff.
Also I feel that a wee pole is in order to see if you guys and gals think it's appropriate that I leave my ID as Scotyam now that I am sporting a Kwacker so let me know if you have any suggestions for an ID name change.
Thanks in advance...........
Keep her lit.

I was dumb enough to download a Mozilla prog the other day and of course it brought along a whole load of crap with it -aka 'Ask' toolbar, Mozilla search engine etc. I've managed to tidy things up but my Firefox browser has aquired the annoying habit of opening an 'Options Window' tab as well as my homepage tab everytime I launch firefox and everytime I open a new tab another Options Window tab appears.
I've tried going through the 'options' to stop it doing this but can find nothing, any ideas anyone?
I might use IE8 if this keeps up.

I have looked at all the 'Free' Graphics things on T web and cant find what I want...basically I would like to create a logo for my new venture (K2 Contracts Ltd.) and have an idea of what I want it to look like .... I want a bold typeface and the logo to have a large 'K' with the no '2' attached by the hook of the 2 to the upward diagonal element of the K. The letter K itself I want to have arranged so that the vertical element is high enough to be level with the top of the 2 and is in itself a block of colour against the black of the rest of the symbol. I would want to have the block dark jade green, turquoise, yellow, or red (for various activities we may undertake) then the words Contracts Ltd. in bold black italic running horizontaly below the 2 .... Anyone even willing to have a go?...
