Anybody got one?

Looking at 2006-2009 models

Anything I should know? Issues, model tweaks and changes.

ABS worth going for?

Don't have a clue what there like but I sat on one at the mcn bike show and I know I would love one

Just get one...they're lush

Might be worth a pm to pegasus (dizzyblondes other half) as hes had one for a while so may have some useful info. HTH

Thanks to those who replied here and PM'd me - I'm in touch with DB and Peg...

Anybody else have an opinion?

Not got one myself but anyone I've spoken to about them have said they're an ace bike. If I could afford to buy, run and insure one I'd have one tomorrow. I'll just have to make do with a shock for now!

I had one last year along side the ageing ZRX with a view of replacing it. Undoubtably a fantastic machine but not my cup of tea. Sold it & kept the Rex.

Reminded me of a Honda, had all the character that a bike should be engineered out of it.

It's more like just playing a playstation game. You can pass anything on one of these with ease.

200 RWHP sounds like fun and it is at times but in real life??

Apparently they are faster than the police helicopter, not my words but somebody who knows.

Giz a go Mista.

I would love one of these, as mentioned to you this is the only current/recent bike I would buy if I won the lottery.

It doesn't need character if there is one on top of it
