this is our 4th xjr between me and my dad. XJR 1200 streetfighter, 1300 for touring, i had the little 400 which was such a laugh ( but seat was shot and hard ) now this one. They are cracking bikes, torque motor, only got 5 gears which im not used to Only issue people have is the front suspension. If its not setup properly its very easy to whipe out!! -
sod the future, this will be fun now!! -
Link pipes turned up, clamps turned up, waiting for gaskets then its time for new exhausts! Also got a seat cover being made by grizzley again ( same style as always, just black/silver to match ) Loving this bike more and more each day. It's so damn comfy its unbelievable
-
and it sounds brilliant! -
I think, because he can Or as he proved, He can't! -
Yeah, white and black would look good on the white busa. We saw someone pull up on a white busa a while back, had matching gear god did he look a right tit!! having white stripes or what not on black leather is fine, but matching the bike is a bit sad imo ( except racers ovc ) If you do get it im sure you will love it, i've always had a soft spot for zeds so it's kinda a bias opinion for me lol -
keep the zed! like dave said you have had it from new, you know what it is like, how its been ridden and its more than capable of doing the job. Besides, something about a white busa doesn't look right ( might be because white gear on a white bike looks lame, and black gear looks a bit out of place? ) You can pick up a 2010 busa from most dealers with less than 15,000 miles for under £6,500

Stu will tell ya if its fine to do or not but i haven't had any problems running tubes in tubeless tyres, but with spokes you have to anyway. Clean the inside up and use some sealant as madcarper says and you should be fine without needing any slime/tyreweld etc -
I managed to get out on the bike today (and again today)

Hoping to get out on mine this year, but need to do something with the gearing!! 32T front 12T back SS is a bit of a killer >< -
You say aluminium wheel but you haven't said if its solid alloy or if its the spoked wheels that came fitted to some of the VN's. I've ran tubes in tubeless tyres with no problems.

Yup looking at the back of the frame its a SRAD, 750 maybe? -
Brackley show, 2 years back -
looks like it was a blade?
-
if you think it looks good there you should see it in person!! that and roadkill together are a awesome pair of bikes!! Im sure he sold the reaper to get a V-max, but i have a feeling his sold the V-max now for another MT-01!!
-
I recon this one will last Ducati might of been a mistake, the zed i kept for a few years. Been trying to find a bike to replace the zed that will be idea for distances and i think this is the ticket!
-
Completely standard for now. Got new link pipes here, keeping my carbon cans now and getting them slapped on this at the weekend IF my clamps turn up! Got a list of things i want for it:- Custom seat ( possibly lowered? skinny me + wide bike = stretch!! ) Renthal ultra low in black crash bungs will be a must!! Possibly polish the lips of the wheels? Get the wingrack fitted and sell the topbox rack braided lines front/back and i think i might be happy at that lol
-

hehe Getting the top box sprayed as its currently bright red!!! needs to be black. Not sure if to fit the wingrack or not
-
Lmfao!! its a xjr not a B-king
-
Hey! in my defense, i knew it had a top box and there was something heavy in it! It was then , when i opened it up to find a wing rack 2 i realized i was joining the *car on two wheels* gang!
-
