You can say that it has only done 7000 miles, but looking at the picture of the odometer I can see that is is nearly 8000. Wink

Meh mine's better Razz

Nice bike there mate, you best look after it, and take it easy on the twisties unlike you were on the wales ride out on the way back! Razz It's a different bike, not much more power but still different!


Hope you enjoy it!

I intend to take it easy for the first few hundred miles as I don't know the characteristics of the bike or how far to go with it, especially with the crap Continental Tyres that are one it!

I'll feel much happier when I have the BT45's fitted and when I have aqquainted myself with the bike Smile.

Nice bike Craig...I'm considering getting a GPZ when I've passed my test Very Happy . Either one of those or an SV650 Drooling

I will look out for you on the A34 on your new bike!

PS. Gotta say it, but I really don't like the screen thing at the front. I hope if I get one of those they are easy to remove. But I suppose there is always the chainsaw option Wink

The screen isn't standard by the way so you shouldn't get one with one on it, and theres only about 6 screws holding it on too.
BTW you'd suit a GPZ IMO, they're nice and low, and pretty nippy Thumbs Up.

Yup, I had little henry for 2 years and how I loved that bike, he never let me down or left me stranded and was nice and cheap to run, which Is one of the reasons why it took me so long to decide on and get a new bike Smile.

And no I'm not changing my name again cos I'll have a ZZR600 next summer Very Happy Thumbs Up.

Have you named the GPZ yet?

I like the look of it apart from that screen; not sure about the shape.
Hope there are a few more sunny days this week then you can get the odometer ticking round!

This bike is rock steady well it was on the M60 at 85MPH which was nice! And I hve a nice largew screen and half fairing to hide behind!

Has a bloody nice kick of power about 7k too Very Happy.

And the screen is being replaced by a powerbronze flip up sports touring screen that will hopefully suit the bike better Smile.

It was all very confusing I tell thee, even the fact his name is Craig ZZR makes it even more difficult to comprehend! Razz
