Been waiting ages for the right one to come along and finally this one turned up.
ZZR1200 on an 05 plate with 9606 miles from new, full Givi luggage set and scottoiler.
Heres a few pics from the ride home and a couple from a ride out a few days after i bought it.

Looks well looked after - how much did it set you back?

I paid 3.5K and it came with a full years MOT, 6 months tax, 12 months engine and gearbox warranty. The mileage is verified by all its MOT's and also has service history. I am pretty pleased with the deal I got.
The previous owner was also a mature owner, like myself, and has clearly been well looked after. Its very quiet, smooth and ridiculously fast!

I have only ridden it for about 500 miles so far, so its a bit soon for even a mini review, but I can say that I am very impressed so far.
Its incredibly fast, yet predictable. Fuel economy has potential to be pretty good, but I am still 'having fun' at the moment so just about scraping 200 miles to a tank. Its very smooth and easy to ride, handling is very solid and the bike feels planted and inspires confidence but I must admit its a very heavy bike in traffic. I will post more in a few weeks once I have got to know the bike a bit better.

Non taken nick - I refer to the bike as 'she' and from the power she puts out, i can only assume she is fueled by pure PMT!!! A pussycat at a low rpm, but wind the throttle open and she turns into a proper angry bitch!
