Funny that the salesman said in riders while i was looking at one waiting for my mot "go on...sit on it, try it out..." i told him id rather sit on a rusty fork...
Have been out on both today as my dad owns a speed tripple r 14 plate and my uncle has just brought a 15 plate z thou. The z's bars are ever so slightly lower as the seat height is but you feel slightly more hunched on the z than you do on the speed IMO. Both sound great the z has the akro full single system and the speed has the arrows but where the speed really sounds awesome is on overrun as you are approaching a roundabout,junction etc the way it pops and bangs is truly addictive. I can't as of yet give a true or fair comparison as the zed is only on a 100 miles so couldn't give it any beans what so ever but it dose feel a liverly little number even at low rpm. Still prefer the looks of the speed when there side by side tho, and also the ride position.
I do t have any of the zed on my pad but will get some through the week. Also have a few more of the r if you need
Well, twist of fate led me to get a Zed, burnt orange in colour.....had a go on the s1000r on the weekend and it left me underwhelmed, so decided it wasn't for me....so, although currently I don't have a duc at the moment ive just started laying the groundwork for an upgrade to the rsv4 to a panigale....although if everyone will have me ill be sticking around...
Well....about 9 months ago our neighbour across the road bought the house next to us (Downsizing as he'd retired) but it needed renovating...when he told us he said " I want to do the roof first....want in...?" and I said, "yeah whenever you want to" - he came over last night and said "3 1/2 grand for the roof, scaffolders turn up on Friday" - so my BMW choice was kind of removed....but I will say up until last night I was undecided...still...so the roof kinda made the choice for me!
and kitchens are kinda rubbish without a roof still can't decide to sell or keep the SF so I will keep for now
Are you enjoying the MV a lot more? I can see that having 2 fairly similar bikes might well mean that one of them is redundant.
Got a pic of the new bike? Is it one of the older orange Zeds that had the shotgun pipes? I like them. They're far less cluttered than most fours now and they look the dogs blinged up.
Not yet...getting it Friday....this is what I've got in red.... I think it looks pretty cool....chunky...
The 848 SF is a good bike, as you know I have the 1199s plenty of poke there, I took my SF out on Sunday and had a thoroughly awesome ride, even though it has less power it is a brilliant bike and IMHO it can be just as much of a hooligan as the 1098. Have you considered the MV Brutale, you can pick one up new the 921 for £7,499
It was just a thought. I have looked on autotrader a total of 14 SF 1098 for sale nationally some are S some not. Does it have to be the S version There is a std 1098 with termi's and FSH for 8k
