a kawasaki should always be green
Mon dieu! SacriledgeGreen Kwacker = remnant from 20 years ago...
Red one looks much fresher.
Move on!!!
I know what you mean with the weight but on the test ride I really liked the weight, felt very planted in the corners.
For any that dont know me, I'm 6ft 8 and 22 stones so a super light bike would be an utter waist of time
Hi Lotus,
What do you think about these modern sports bikes and are you happy to ride the complete distance of a tank of fuel? My only experience of a sports bike was when I was given a Laverda Jota to play with for a day, definitely NOT a town bike. I dread to think how I would fit onto these modern, very compact flying machines and I'm only 18st.
Good luck,
John
Hi John
Well for about 90% of all sports bikes I have no hope in hell of getting on them, let alone getting off after a ride, they are just too "racey"! The ZX even though a Super Sport bike has much larger proportions when compared to Suzuki's and Yammy and the like.
The minute I sat on the ZX I knew it was the bike as it just felt like a part of me straight away.
On the "how long would I ride" question, I will let you know as a bankers draft has now changed hands
The main reason I have purchased a bike like this is to clear aay the troubles of the week so I would hope an hour should do that
BarryJ, I do know where you are coming from but for me I have no interest in ultimate speed and power, I just want to have a smile on my face when I come home from a ride (or track day) and still be able to walk
Hmmmmm so should I tell everyone what colour I have gone for ??????
I bet you went for the red one
Me thinks you should have gone for a 9R, not a 7.
I bet you went for the red one
Yeah the 9 is even more pointless and a bigger bloater! but you dont need to be able to ride to go fast on one so I suppose they have their place
OK, so you know me too well
I'll get some better pictures once I pick it up on bank holiday weekend:bannana:
My own thoughts are that riding a bike is all appoint enjoyment, or the grin factor. I will be amazed if you or anyone else rides your bike to the limits of its performance on a public road, so it boils down to whatever floats your boat, but are you trying to say that a 6' 8" 22 stone bloke will be comfortable on an RGV250?Yeah the 9 is even more pointless and a bigger bloater! but you dont need to be able to ride to go fast on one so I suppose they have their place
This is why I am selling my bike:
There is a garage full of ex Eddie Lawson and John K's bikes........
