Nice - i spy tuned suspension.... A local chap does the bouncy bits for a good few of the road racers,he revalved the forks and allowed me to get what I was after. The original Ten had a rock hard rear shock and soft forks,it also came without a steering damper. It weighed around 180kgs wet.Thus the 'widow maker' reputation. Once sorted,it was a sweet handling bike.

Yeah - i think im stuck in analogue world now.....im not saying i wouldnt buy anything brand new, its more of a case of not having any money to actually buy anything brand new!! Just hanging on to my old stuff is hard enough - im not joking, if i sold a bike, the money wouldnt even clear in the account before she booked a holiday, then, poof....its gone....

260 bhp.. wtf,that's insane my God,well at that speed u will be seeing God... I'm impressed,but although the engine is ,the look isn't,and unfortunately it's the deal breaker for me,I'm not sold on how it looks which is a shame,I was hoping it would have been something that looks as good as it goes,but not for me.... I'll keep what I've got,maybe when u get cracking on the mods u may change my mind.... Let's see what u do....

Not for me but insanely interested to see how the modding goes....for me....providing ive still got a job itll be fork cartridges - 146 brake in a naked is enough power for me - i just want the sublime handling that i got with my rsv4 - i want that again on the zed...

Congratulations Trebor4460 on your new bike, it looks the business and I see you have changed the pipe and tail tidy already. The front is growing on me but the engine is certainly something else. i have both a H2SX and a ZZR1400 (2nd gen) as prior to Covid-19 I do a lot of touring. The H2Z has my eye however......

Thanks Max, it was with a heavy heart to let the z1000 go but it's gone to a good home I hear and the new Zh2 is just a beast, I'm still running in but the pull on the motor is just addictive, and I'm getting there with the looks.. never gonna be Beauty but deffo is The Beast 👍 and you got a nice collection of bikes there 😎

There hasn't been a dry road here for weeks and now that the salt is down,that's me done until the Spring. A half hour run and 4 hours of cleaning isn't for me!
