Re: Show us your 'other' bikes!
I have taken my SV off the road for a few weeks for some rebuild work, but this leaves me with out a bike. Well it just so happens that if I slap the wife about a bit I can steal this...
 It is the wife's ZRX1100, it is a heavy old bruiser and I wont be ridingit very far because it kills me with the weight and the lack of nimble steering. If that does not work, there is always this wreck...  It is only when they go off the road that you realise how much you take it for granted that you can just run out to the garage and go for a blast.

Haha, I'm pleased to report that the breasts (cat) have now made way for a full system along with a load of other winter mods.

Re: Show us your 'other' bikes!
Here's the VFR I've replaced my beloved SV650 for.
2002 VFR800 VTEC. 16k on the clock Came with... Hugger Double bubble screen. Fender extender Immobiliser (only bit i dont like. Never had one before n im never having one again!) Ive managed to get hold of a 3rd generation (around 1990) VFR 8 spoke wheel for the back, and had both front and back powdercoated. It sounded abit like a sawing machine with the standard exhaust on (especially coming from an SV with Beowulf) so I've put twin Delkevic end cans on to unleash the V4 growl! Oh and I've splashed out and fitted a Garmin Zumo 390 and Oxford heated grips. im happy with it so far. Got everything i want on it now, looks good IMO, goes well, comfy and handles pretty well too. So its everything i want. If only it was as good on fuel as the SV.. Havent got an proper pictures yet. I'll take some when the weathers fit (:

Only 16K on a 13 yr old sports TOURER! I hope you plan to make up for the lack of miles!! Great looking bike for the age!

Doesnt sound as deep as an SV with decent aftermarket can tbh. Sounds alreet though. More of an induction roar when the VTEC kicks in at 7k rpm tbh. Fair picks its feet up though... Aha (: |
