    newby here

    Nice one mate Big congrats on the pass. Will see you on the next ride out
  14. Have to agree mate. Always said it was the only bike I would sell the ZX for, and here we are
  15. Feels like it mate, I'll let you know in a few weeks
  16. Have to agree mate. Came back from Hartlepool late on night so was riding down the 689 at about 11 using moonlight to see as even with twin headlights there was minimal light on the road So no problems mate. If we're ever caught out
  17. took mine round Cadwell and it coped ok, I even went round the outside of a few round Mansfield. Theyre are a bit heavy to throw round compared to an out and out sports bike though, I certainly knew about it after 4 sessions. Exactly what I found with the ZX. Took me a while to get used to it, but I had started to be more confident in what it cold do. Off to get a few more miles today. Need more familiarisation
  18. Just over two weeks mate. Looking forward to it
  19. Well, been out a few times now and managed an easy 83 miles this evening, and must say I'm starting to enjoy the ride It is a different bike to the ZX12, riding position feels higher, power delivery seems smoother and the acceleration isn't as brutal, but the speed is It seems smooth enough through the bends and, to me, is as flickable through the corners as the ZX was. I will qualify that as, people that have ridden with me know, I'm not a maniac on the bike and I don't do the whole "knee down" thing. People used to say that the ZX didn't really handle in the corners as it was too heavy, never found that and to me it always seemed fine. But, back to the ZZR. Feels a bit exposed at the higher speeds. Reminds me, to some degree, of the bandit. Then I remember I have a screen and tuck in behind it The headlights illuminate well, so at lower light levels you can still see fairly well and you never lose the road in the darkness. I haven't really opened her up fully yet, want to get a little more comfortable on her first, but based on the way she pulls in 3rd or 4th, taking her top the limit will be "exciting" Ooops Do I like her more than the ZX? Styling is better, smoother power delivery, almost effortless acceleration. But there was a certain pleasure in the simpleness of the ZX, big engine, big bike, big power. Giving fair thought, I do prefer the ZZR. Will I miss the ZX, of course I will
  20. Have a look at the "Force -field "range--- a tad pricey, but "top notch" ratings,fit and protection-- --comfy too. Will have a look and see what turns up
  21. Sounds interesting mate, but only one use. Hell of a "pop" though
