[quote="Tony nitrous"][quote="Grumpyowl"] Its coming through the Streetfighters club. Last time I saw it, it had a full race system, flat bars, a powercommander, and was being launched down a drag strip!... ... just ripe for a sidecar then you could make it a 2x2 off roader fit a gel seat and go walkabout in comfort -

As a pillion bike, Nothing. Plenty of grunt and not bad on the back... I dont mind the fact they're a naked bike, im happy to match anyone mile for mile with their tupperware bikes, only downside to me is the lack of top end and budget running gear. I do like them though, Im talking with a guy about buying his crashed/light damage one to use as a pillion bike. EDIT: Just had a message, im off to look at a GSX14 this weekend... Good luck hope you get it You could do this with it Or fit one of these -

is this pub talk or have you owned a Bussa? you seem to be very dismissive of the bike not pub talk like i said, gotta be mad to get the busa over a zzr for distance... The seat is small, the pegs are high unless your 4ft, boxes look stupid on them thats if you can even get them. and you know this because you've owned one sat on one in a showroom or what if its not pub talk? i'm 5'10 not tall but not short have helibars and touring screen and toured holland for a week last june no problems with comfort, speed, fuel consumption or reliability. I won't dismiss the zzr because i have not owned one or have experience of one. but i can comment on something i own and have experience of.. -

horses for courses my mrs is 5'2 and has no probs coast and back 200mls. gen2 2010 bike seats are firm but comfortable. i paid £160 for 2 medical grade gel pads implants on the seat of my last bike and would not do that again. i thought they were crap and not worth the money. get her a sheepskin pad ps if you dont want the sports tourer then my mate has a gtr1400 shaft electric screen etc very good bike for serious touring but i prefer something a bit more sporty -

Those average speed cameras must be profitable in these austere times. Notts seem absolutley obsessed with them.. They don't seem to have a problem financing these schemes.. All this reducing the NSL by stealth to 50 through the back door. Why don't they just stop piddling about and drop it to 50 from 60 and have done with it ?? -
