ZZR600 written off

[hotdog]

Yep K1200S/K1300S are really really bad bikes for really really old people. 0 to 60 takes about 13 seconds and they're very slow. Also they only have about 10bhp. The brakes are total rubbish and the traction control doesn't work for a toffee. As for the ESA suspension and handling you'd be better off on a silent night double divan. Avoid like the plague.

Wow Lisa, I didn't expect you to bite before Dave or Paul , I laid the bait for them but thanks for the nibble ;D

ZZR600Dude the K12 is a lovely looking bike and the single sided swing arm is lovely looking leaves you wondering what holds the rear wheel on tho [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hmm now Dave or Paul with pipe and slippers , that really would look odd on a bike of any sort

Well as long as you stay clear of GS's you'll be fine as they are just expensive carp. You can't get your knee down however hard you try. ;D ;D

I've done sports bikes, I've even done cruisers and I've done tourers... ST1300, FJR and yep, even an 1800 Goldwing. For me, the K1200S and now the K1300S is simply the best bike in existence. Awesome power and performance when you want it coupled with superb handling and long distance comfort. Don't tell everyone though coz I like the pipe smoking exclusivity

Strange that Dave......i can just imagine you with a pipe on the go... ;D

I would have put Dave down more as a Cuban man myself...

How come you bought a hairdressers car then?

Lol, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that.

Need a new bike, criteria;

fast
looks fast
can go long distances on it
any modern gismos that might save me crashing it ABS, traction control
budget £6000 max but will go second hand



I have always wanted a ZZR1400, am I mad to take on such a beast?

any suggestions welcome

What about a Honda Blackbird ?
