    Well me and the wife took a test ride of a 2009 kwaka zzr1400 yesterday. Nice and comfy 2 up and also on my back I had no pain whilst riding compared to my blade. Loads of power as youd expect, not sure I'll get it to the red line:D
    Pick it up on Friday. Will be sad to say goodbye to the blade but I've had fun with it. No pics sadly but will get some up on friday.

    I've gone for the fastest colour this time, black! After a litre sports bike I couldn't drop any power so ultimately had to be the zzr. Will still frequent this forum though.

    My Brother-in-Law has just bought a 2014 ZZR1400 and it's just yesterday been in for it's 600 mile first service.

    He's coming with us to Ireland on our 5 day Tour so I can't wait to have a Thrape of it on those deserted Motorways! :D

    Just been to the Ring with a mate on one. It's a rocket ship ... quite good on the fuel as well. Good choice, Hope you get on with it.

    Was at Silverstone yesterday, and one of these left me for dead down the Hanger straight.
