I'm not sure they ever were that popular, as such, they just had a good reputation.

They appeared around the same time as the Fireblade and 916 so the big-capacity game had moved up a notch and lower end of the market was on 600s.

Cool! I'll look forward to seeing that!

So where was the juddering coming from? Was it forks or brakes?

I sorted the fork issue which improved things but eventually had to bite the bullet and buy new disks. F**k knows how the last owner had done so much damage in so few miles of ownership. You should need a licenece to ride bikes...oh hang on...

I know what you mean, mate. I have days like that when you just seem to be home long enough to sleep and then your back at work. Seems like you never left!!

Is anyone doing the FOT this weekend bearing in mind it's a bank holiday? I'd like to see what all the fuss is about.

Er maybe. Will all depend on the Mrs - but we could give the ZX's a run out I guess. What day were you thinking?

EDIT - can't do saturday afternoon as I've got a gig.
