Very slightly off topic, but the Z1000sx is about the only bike that tempts me right now from my gen 1 1000
how was it to live with and dose it handle ok? not as quick to steer as the 6 i bet but the short test ride i had it seemed ok but hard to tell what its like long term.

I can honestly say it is the best Sports Tourer on the market. It is comfortable once you get rid of the stock seat, it is a brick, . handling is excellent, suspension is adjustable front and back. The bike is a rocket, I am 18 stone and even with me on it I had up to 157 mph on the gps.
Checkout the forum www.z1000sx.co.uk tons of info on there and they are a friendly lot.
It is an excellent bike but for me sadly it had to go it was just to heavy for me, I am 64 and the old knees are gone. If you decide to get one you will not regret it. From a touring point of view in the 2 odd years I had it I put 16,000 miles on it, 3 times down and back to the SW of France and in April I rode down to the Costa Blanca were I live. Bike never let me down and apart from servicing it was never back at the dealers for anything.
