    The other half seemed quite content with his BMW k1300s until he came with me to the Kawasaki dealer recently...

    He spent a lot of time at Pegasus sitting on the ZZR1400 and was clucking like a mother hen. :

    Ever since that visit to the Kwaka dealer, he's been talking more and more about the ZZR...

    Does anyone have any opinions on either of these bikes? Good or bad welcome.

    They're both great bikes, more than enough power than you'll ever need, both go around corners reasonably well and will see off 300+ mile days as well as each other. Let the heart and soul make the decision but I would say the Beemer will have the edge on sophistication and dealer back up, the Kwacker though has more street appeal and higher power figures if thats important to you. I would also guess the Beemer would retain higher residuals as thats fairly common when comparing them to most Jap bikes but the Kwacker is cheaper to buy initially. All IMHO of course!

    Nothing wrong with having more than one bike though........... ;D
