Nice, must be great feeling to have the bike from new. Only down side is having to run them in.

Really like the exhaust, looks pretty cool.

VERY nice sir! Surprised

Out of interest, you'll have to let us know how it compares to the Zed performance/handling wise? I wouldn't be surprised if it pretty much as quick as the Zed with it being a newer bike..

Thumbs Up

Cheers guys

Arrow No, i havent named her, probably will be known as the 'ef Zee'
Arrow Will let you know on performance and how they compare, going to do a write up once its run in(4k revs for 600 miles Rolling Eyes )
Arrow Yes i got an absolutley incredible deal, £4k with £3k trade in for mine with 0% finance.
Arrow Havent decided but airing more on the side of bars.

Can't believe the difference in wieght, its only 10/15 kilos but bloody 'el does it feel light in comparision.

Mods to come Arrow Engine bars/mushrooms & bellypan, scorpian exhaust, k&n filter, power commander, modified ecu, maybe handlebars.
Shes a beauty Cool

Strange, I was told to keep it below 6K until the first service, then up them every 100 miles up until 1000-1200 miles.

Where did you buy from?

I went to George White to see the 07 model but they seem to fly out the shop as soon as they are in. There were a few of the older models there but the new one is lush (particularly the nekkid version in blue with the fz6 writing on the tank).

There should be some laser exhausts on ebay right now, nicest available. Changing the zorst and putting in a power comm. apparently fucks the mpg though.

Its an 06 on 07 plate, from george whites swindon.

If done right the fueling can actually be improved, but depends how you go about it.

Much preferred the Z750, can't understand why you changed, apart from the crashing thing.

But the underseat exhaust is nice.
