Yep, I personally like the look, though I'm not a fan of the Ducati open frame look. The ZZR is not a replacement for the GSX or the XJR but it's a beautiful quick, good handling bike to share the shed with. 😁

I don't think if the frame is pretty or not would be a high priority when you were giving it big licks... LOL!

Agree Tony. Opened my my mouth before and crap came out. So many great bikes with that sort of frame, twin spar its name??

@Grog check out the chambers on that 🤣

Best allrounder I've ever owned 👍

👍 Not sure about cornering clearance but you never are on them.

Headed out for a 200km round trip for a pie. Whilst enjoying said pie I realised I'd forgotten about a vintage bike show another 50km up the road, so it's become an extended ride - roughly twice what I've done in a day since getting back on the bike.

Anyway, this is my pick for the winner.

I've never managed to get there before. Left home early so arrived as the bikes were rolling in. Hung around for around 1.5hrs and it was mayhem by the time I left.

Chatted with a guy on a 2002 GSX1400 that he's owned since new and has ridden it 210,000km. Not Hooli spec but impressive nonetheless. He was quite insistent that Yoshi cams are worth every penny.

Oh God, is that vintage now. :facepalm:

There were quite a few proper vintage bikes as well, but it must be getting close.

A GT750 is still a few years older than me, so I guess I'll continue to be "modern" for a little while  :happy1:

A ride to Williams via Dwellingup on Sunday. 360k of nice Country roads. Morning tea at Vergone Farm Cafe and a bakery lunch at Williams, pie I'd rate highly, not so the tasteless vanilla slice. My wife makes the best so I may be biased.  :whatever:  :smitten:

Sadly, I can't say the same thing. Remember them coming out well.  :facepalm:  :grin:

Always safest to say that even if it isn't true.  :rofl2:

Which I am sure, it is.  :notworthy:  :onya:

Took it got a fang through the hills with 2 mates on MT09s. Swapped bikes a few times, always happy to get back on the 14. Doesn't have quick shift, abs, traction control, dynamic power settings and anti wheelie functions, it's just nicer to ride
