Demoing a Z1000SX and ZZR1400 at Seastar on Saturday....if the ride and price is right the Ktm will be traded in against the 1000cc sports tourer I think....

The ZZR1400 would be too heavy for a Mr Punyverse like me, but I did look at the sx1000 in Orwells a while back.

Ditch that 'orrible exhaust though

That's pre 2014....

here's what I mean:



The photo perspective doesn't help which is why I need to go have a proper look but you can see that the panniers are much better moulded into the bike design unlike the pic you posted from a pre-2014 z1000sx

When the panniers are not fitted you wouldn't know they can be fitted....

Was thinking more the scorpion pipes
The Mrs likes the look of the Green ZX when we spotted it at the London Bike show.
Her favorite bike I used to own were the ZZR's we had back in the 90's!
But they were Black and red back then.
But as she staunchly refuses to get back on a Bike.(Shes got a full Bike license) .
I only need the Tigger
