A proud day for me and Sophie. She was rated No.1 for handling and suspension.

She was also rated 80 for wind protection Rolling Eyes

Basically this thread is about bragging rights how did your bike(s) do?

The top 10 overal where all either Honda or BMW, and honda had 9 out of the top 10 for reliablity.

I read something about the Z750 being one of the worst bikes ever in RIDE.

Sort of, but they did say that £280 worth of shock work completely transforms the bike.

Not at all. It's a good all round bike, ecpecially since i went to J & S Assecorries yesterday and they where selling them for £3999.

However the suspension is a big let down compared to everything else about the bike. It was rated the bike with the worst suspension, which I wouldn't disagree with. It has a very strong motor, is cheap to buy / run, offers a sporty ride position etc so people expect more from the cheap budget suspension it comes with.

I have got myne sorted now and it is like a new bike. I was going to sell it, but now i'll keep it and probably run it into the ground.

It doesn't like winters though, mynes used daily in wind / rain / snow and corrosion has started above and below the bottom tripple clamp on the forks. The calliper pins where also seized and had to be cut on the service last week, the steel radiator pipe has also started to corrode. This is on a 04, stored outside under a cover.
