    Very sporty list WR6133. I like the look of the ZRX 1200.

    Is that the new 500 Bullet?

    Yes, complete with EFI and leccy start. I had the chance to ride another members one recently and while on paper it should be awful, from the moment you start it to the moment you get off, it makes you grin like a kid in a sweetshop.

    You may need to recalibrate your right wrist to take into account the lower rev limit on the Bullet compared to your ZZR, that other member had to add a bit of oil to his Bullet motor after your 'test ride' ; )

    I only bounced it off the limiter twice (possibly thrice)

    That's not a rev limiter it's bouncing valves ; )

    I did consider buying one of those as my first bike, they look good and are extremely cheap.

    The only thing that put me off was the power, or lack of.

    Yup they certainly have (or don't have) that, wouldn't recommend one as your only bike unless your not interested in getting anywhere quickly! Would make a great commuter 10/20 miles as easy to chuck about, low weight & seat, comfortable and 75mpg wringing it's neck, 85mpg+ without trying too hard.

    That's what I use mine for, wife loves it as pillion even though it only has a detachable pillion pad - she has a small bum! Also great for riding the back lanes in the muck and crap and is perfect for this time of year, it doesn't have much value to lose by not being cleaned very ride, ACF50 in October, the odd hose down during the Winter and a good clean & lubricate in the Spring - don't buy a used Enfield of this man ; )
