Bike Valuations

[2kwacks]

just a thought Mr wolf! while Mrs wolf is in such a generous mood, why don't you suggest a second bike maybe a zzr

[SirToU]

The ZZR is my absolute dream bike...... But need the GTR, could have had both, but thought the GTR and ZZR are too close it terms of design....

So, I have a GTR and a ZX10.......  I also have a Z750R for Motogymkhana but do you not think the ZZR  and GTR is too similar?

Hi SirTou,

the GTR and ZZR are worlds apart in design, performance, handling and "intention" but your ZX10 is even further from the GTR so i think you have the best variety of bikes. If you swapped your ZX10 for a ZZR I think you would miss the sharpness of purpose that the ZZR cannot match(even after MCT tune up) as always, just my opinion but i do have both GTR and ZZR and a FireBlade, and none of them do as well as what the others are focused on. Yes you can tour on a Blade and you can wheelie a GTR, but horses for courses where possible

Oh ZX10 isn't standard. :-), but I think the ZZR is positioned as a half way house between the ZX10R and the GTR...  All three are top of the range flagship bikes, just with different purposes.

ZX10 = 2011 non-ABS, with Carbon fibre Wheels, PCV and Austin Racing Exhaust..... 192bhp at wheel, 0 miles on the clock.  Needs remapping to get that little extra.....  And a smattering of carbon, hugger, fender, seat pod, screen, - see fast bikes mag issue 250 - summer last year.

ZZR will happen at some point.  Just got to save some money... :-)

Mr coman I woudn't go as far as saying "worlds apart" must admit I do find theses 2 bikes to be similar in everythink except acceleration and of course! top end speed. in my opinion, the big difference is how the zzr feels like your arms are being torn from their sockets when opened fully up both bikes are tourers, the sport tourer and the sports hyper tourer. after all, the gtr engine is a detuned zzr engine, both have similar stopping power, both can tour all day with ease, and even have similar m.p.g when cruising. in my opinion, if you were to add panniers and a top box to the zzr1400, then theses 2 bikes wouldn't be "worlds apart" but more like "neighbourhoods apart"

Well the deed has been done

I am now the proud owner of a new (ish) GTR in Magnesium.

Early doors tomorrow I will be heading down to Dorset to collect the beast. 

Thank god you finally put us out of our misery....

Hopefully Steve will be posting soon .... I told him earlier today the weather down here was wet and 'orrid and he should be prepared... not ideal for collecting new bikes .. but Dorset of course was lovely and sunny ! Clearly the Bike God was shining on him .. let's wait and see
