I saw one in France last year with an aftermarket seat and a decent set of cans, looked the dogs (but it was a naked...)
Twin seats on the naked - much more 'nad-friendly

Seastar Superbikes and it was as advertised £4495 - which for a brand new one is not bad at all, plus what made it far too tempting was the 0% finance... Oh and it was only £65 more a year to insure than the SV!

Cant wait!

If the Zed's brakes are so much better than your SV, then your SV has a problem - they're the same brakes.

PMSL! Well, something must be up then because they were much better! Hey ho!

Have slept on it now and am wondering if I have made the right decision, I am sure that will all be forgotten come Friday

Yeah it is...same horsepower but much cheaper.

100bhp for £4500 is a good deal in my book.

Looked at the Z750S meself but it was when it first came out so Kwak were asking top money. The styling didn't grab me either.

Certainly a top buy...is it better than a SVS K6?....
