ref ZZR1400...yes its very top endy , but I have found they dont handle twisties anything like a fazer.So just be careful, be sure its what you want. I think the fazer accelerates too fast for UK roads , so what is the point of just more and more top end. Meanwhile I aint found anything which has the mid range stomp of the full monty gen1....my triumph triples have had better bottom end, the GS has superb grunt at certain rev range, but nowt so far has quite the instant thrust and unrelenting zap in top of the fazer.I dont think I have ever been lacking in power with the fazer except on a trackday against blades and R1s etc.But on the road...tbh I think its got way more than we ever really need.To put it in perspective, on twisty roads, me fazer out paces Hyabusas...so whats the point of 200bhp....??
