What did you do with whatever else you've got?

Billy Balthorpe.....that FZR looks minted, must've cost you a fortune......anyway they are before my time a bit but i do like them and i sat on the 750 version which was surprisingly comfortable....my limited understanding is that this 1000 was crammed into the same 750 frame.


Anyway...my question is this....ok they look cool but how does it handle when it matters....have you done a y hard cornering yet & how would it compare in that department against the fazer?

I had one in '98. My first track day at Donington 12 months later, 2nd lap, old hairpin, knee down no problem. From then on it got a bit silly, top end of the intermediate group, taking on just about everyone I could catch, on an 11 year old bike!! The harder you push these things the better the front end feels, the only niggle is the 18" rear wheel. They do need a bit of planning and commitment to REALLY hustle them, but it can be done.

Don't know how it compares to a Fazer, although I have one, I haven't had a chance to ride it yet, im still trying to get it so I CAN ride it. Hoping desperately that a guy sends Devilsyam a stolen recovered Gen 1 next week with a good set of downpipes and exup valve.
