Nice, so what's the reviews of the 08 model like then? I gathered the mags weren't too keen on recent Z750s, though I am guessing a test ride proved it to yourself either way.

Btw that pillion seat looks awful, haha - it's at a bit of an angle isn't it?!

Apparently it is the suspension they slated them for, saying it was awful and cheap letting the bike down. A few said it ruined the handling etc.

To put that in perspective Soulkiss reckons its better than an SVs suspension!

I have no doubt it is, as you would expect being a little more expensive, and to be fair its not that hard to be better than the SV in that department.

I can’t really comment as I have not ridden the Z, but I would imagine that it’s the journo’s, comparing it to sports bikes rather than to its peers.
