I think the only way that zh is going to look better,is to cover it n petrol and set it alight,and watch it melt...

Ha ha ..u crack me up Lee..🤣🤣
Same here Andy I so wanted this bike to look good.. looks mean a lot to me and I gotta like the look.. I was gutted when I first saw it.. gonna be hard to mod that front end away and 16 grand is I.m.o. over priced ..
I sat on a 2018 SuperDuke 1290 and at 5 foot 8 I could only tip toe .. 😪
On a plus side, no changes to the MT10 this year because something special is comeing out for 2021 ..

Thanks bud... I don't like the yamaha mt range at all to plastic,even for Tupperware,if I had to choose 1,it would be the mt125. Only because it looks good for a 125,but then again if I was to have a 125 it would be the Honda msx125 it looks fun,and not as much money as most 125s out there... And even looks better than that bike made of camel shit zh.. on a serious not,am I witnessing the death of the zed range,they have got it right for so long,and now they give us that pieces of shit,the only thing Kawasaki got wrong,that I can remember was that snake skin,shit seat in 2012 I think,wtf was that all about... Other than that the zeds go way back,but they've drop the ball on the zh, majorly.... Ide pour petrol on guy who disigned it,and his shitty bike,wtf was in his sushi....

That superduke 1290r is a wicked bit of kit,I was talking to a guy,who put a full titanium exaust system on it,with Austin racing cans... And there was no need for him to big it up,what a machine... I'm 6:1 I can ride mostly all bikes,I sat quite comfortable on a top spek Africa Twin,I've owned a 2004 KTM Motorcross.. so I'm lucky in the cense,but I love my zed.. I'm glad that zh is so butt ugly,ide be gutted if it looked like the other pic,because I wouldn't be able to afford it...

well the z1000 has been killed off now... might see a reincarnation in future when the H2Z SALES FLOP... Next bike im gonna jump Marquee .. was only the promise of the supercharger that was gonna make me stay.. im happy with my Z till something comes along that really grabs me, will just keep upgrading my Z... mmm ... maybe Brembos next...  |

It would take some moding,to make that bike exceptable,but I know what u mean,it would help if the front didn't look like a bag of scorched lego... But for the money there asking for it,it would not be viable to pour money on top to make it look any better,and to be onist,it's a tured of a bike....

M4's will go straight on with your master cylinder (my hpk's work perfectly with mine) but if you go to M50's youll need a new master cylinder (RCS17) ive got on my RSV4 - its a lovely braking setup....really is...the feel you get through the brakes in amazing... |

Was thinking M4.. can get a brand new set from Italy for around £480, was wondering if there would be much improvement with the Kawasaki master cylinder? Prob wod have to get spacers on the caliper pins? |
