Re: Oddity
A triple on full chat sounds even better.

Re: Oddity
Oh and the 'tona will be cheaper to insure as it's a lower insurance group to the ZX9

I saw a red one with full carbon gear on it, single sided swingarm etc. 24k but showroom condition....it really did stand out in the shop. Bugger. I always got the impression the 955i wasn't that quick? |

Re: Oddity
the zx9 is group 16 the 955i is group 15
it depends what you class as not that quick? I bottled out on mine at a indicated 160mph (on a private road of course ) and there was still more to come, there's nothing lacking with its acceleration either

Re: Oddity
Hmm. Are we talking SS600 acceleration then?

Re: Oddity
I would say so but you don't have to rev it as hard as say a CBR600RR. It's deceptively quick

Damn you! I thought I had this decision made! Now I want a 'tona. When did they go from the funny front lights (not the curveyesque model)to the individual ones? |

Re: Oddity
I came away from a rideout with a 955 when I was on my ZX7R thinking about trading my 7 in for something with engine breaking.
But that was on Alsace twisties not motorway. |
