did they feel heavy though?

i was soooooooooooo tempted with one of these, or the kwak z1000 ( ready streetfightered ish )

i love the nakedness its like having a blank canvas to create a master peace..

[chuxsta]

i was put off by a few horror stories about them been bland and crap to ride....
the looks was what attracted me cause they have so much potential to make them look bad ass....

[sirch345]

I've ridden one of those too, although it was a blue and white model.

Quite some bike and as you said Mike is does not feel like it's a heavy bike. It must have a low center of gravity as it's very easy to maneuver when going slow, which you wouldn't expect from such a beast.

I felt it to be a modern day Suzuki GS1000 (as I use to own before the Firestorm) with a bigger engine, but not for me. Now I have the protection from the wind with a fairing, unlike my old GSThou, I realise how much I'd miss that

I think they're a great looking bike. I love the 80's retro look and modern suspension and brakes must make them so much better than what they were. If I was after something for comfort and fun I'd probably go for something along those lines......Only problem is.....I'm not old enough yet!

Agreed, I think the look cracking.

The big Yams look nice too.

Ive got to say (sorry all... ) if I was to go for a big retro it'd be the ZXR1200 Lovely bike.









...and waits for Timbo

[Jbrebel]

Its a ZRX, not ZXR

Saying nowt else

Lol! Thought I might get a bite!

Still is the best looking big bike imo though what kind of tank range do you get on yours timbo?

FSM, that is a good deal!

[biggus]

CB1300 is what you want

I have an 03 one great bike

[RedStormV]

Think you're right with the GSX14 Mike,

Mate of mine at work has one and does shed loads of comfortable rides on it.

Does, bike rallies about one a fortnight and used to commute the other weekend to see his woman in Glasgow!

Now she lives with him down here, they're 2-up everywhere!

Mind he does like his big bikes, did have a CBX at one time, and was member of FWE Club (F*cking Wide Engine Club), sadly demised now.

[adfski]

Hel yeah - good bike!

I bought an XJR 1300 when my mate bought the brand new GSX 1400. I went down to have a look at it with him and decided to try the yam for a spin over the mountain with him. Traded in my NTV 650 (first bike) that day!

Very similar - the GSX has more beans and all that but I really enjoyed my yam. These bikes are sweet!
TBH the only reason I got the storm was that I love bike racing and as my confidence grew I started to wear front tyres for fun. So missing the V twin and needing to feed my rossi fantasies (er not like that ) I got my storm.

[Beamish]

Now she lives with him down here, they're 2-up everywhere!

I am currently looking at an XJR to live alongside an off roader (if the Storm goes to Zipper) ......I love the look of the GSX and XJR.

Get a ZRX, knocks spots off the GSX and XJR

Not biased there are we?

[Beamish]

I have heard that Timbo but you dont see ZRX's for £1200 on ebay
