Well after a week of owning and riding everyday here is what i think......
Pros...
Cons...
Pros...
- This thing is biblically quick the fz1 wouldnt get anywhere near it in any gear.
- Handles well for a big lass , smooth and precise
- Massive mileage from the tank avaraged 55mpg on the run back from doncaster
- Cruises happily at 100mph and could hear a penny drop
- So much torque you can set off in any gear and ride about in 5th and not have to downshift.
- comfortable on a longer ride but not too big to commute on (have done into Liverpool 3 days this week)
- Silky smooth gearbox no clunk in any gear.
- Seems way ahead of its time this thing is 12 year old and still IMO feels newer and more advanced than my 06 FZ1.
Cons...
- Bloody heavy machine (Doesnt matter too much once rolling mind)
- Brakes are POO. (working on fixing ATM
- The looks MARMITE (i love it myself)
- Thats it...
