It reminds me of something ...

Yes, apologies for my tardiness on that front. Was going to post at the weekend, but too busy riding it .

Basically, after all that fuss about wanting a 1000 twin (which I still think would rock, but the insurance too much for me), I "settled" for the ZX6R, thinking it would be 'ok' but not necessarily a stellar experience.

How wrong . . . picked it up saturday (£2.5K, 1998, 20K+ miles)

It is awesome. I love it. Theoretically not much more power than my fazer, but its lighter, in a higher state of tune, and the handling is out of this world compared to what I'm used to. It feels perfect and controled, yet also exciting. I think it is a kwak thing, they just feel so visceral and alive. They have personality.

Had an ace weekend riding it. Infact, was the first time I'd ever a) been out for a ride with someone else or b) riden the whole day for no reason other than just to ride it. Went to box hill, then to Brighton, and all over. Ace weather and great roads.

Sunday also went out, hooked up with Sadie who showed me St Alban's finest back lanes, which are really ace. to Sadie and St Albans.

Slight bad points:

Even though the dealer (Daytona Ruislip) said they'd service it before I took it, the front brake needed bleeding, the chain was slapping all over the place, and one of the tail lights is blown, none of which I really noticed until saturday.

Anyway spoke to them this morning and the salesman sounded suitably embarassed and apologetic, so taking it in on Saturday to get sorted.

But apart from niggles, it is such a fantastic machine. I love riding a sports bike. Its just such a more exciting experience than the 600 commuter - which I still love, but just not as much as the kwak.

Oh, sorry no pics yet. ASAP. (Basically same as Colin's I think).

Yo Fran, you dirty bitch. Put your thoughts above the table where I can see them.

St Alban's back lanes, not *ahem* Sadie's

[Sadie]

Fran, you be careful or I'll, I'll ...... I'll come to your birthday party! So

Liz - you're the first person the poor guy meets on a rideout ever and you try and lead him astray, I just dunno!

[Gracie Jones]

@ colin. Absolutely mate. It is the canine's particulars. Really glad I didn't choose anything else now. Even though it could do with a bit more power, it is nice to have a full on sports bike with all that handling.

Enough power for the road I say....
More than enough, you'll never reach it's limits anyway. You'll also probably never have anything go wrong with it, mines has been a rock but bit of advise......fit crash bungs! No really, best mod you'll make to it....

And if it's not got a race can, buy one.

But anyway Fran, I am not "tall" - which is the primary pre-requisit for young Liz.

I would like to point out that neither am I short. Just not "tall" thats all. Nope, not sensitive about it either.

Well done Fran. Predictable as the Kwak is green.

[Fallen Angel]

[Gracie Jones]

Yes you are right. I stand corrected. You are consistently not funny.
