Its got most of the popular bells and whistles on. If you know of anyone wishing to join the fold point them my way.

Cheers, and I will still be dropping by.

Must say the ZZR 14 is a great bike, it looks really good mate, hope you enjoy it.
I'm happy with my mix of Falco and 9R for not too much cash.
The Falco will always be number one for me as it gives more fun at sensible speeds and has more character than any IL4 will ever have. That instant hit of torque is something that really makes the Falco stand out and you appreciate it that bit more when you're on another bike that doesn't have quite as much of it!
The 9R has the fun, but the hit is at higher speeds, (it gets seriously ballistic from 8K) , low down it is very tractible and easy to ride and if the ZZR 14 is the same with more torque low down and even more ooomph at the top it will be a really nice bike.
Hope you enjoy it.

Good for milemunching but how long do you expect to keep your licence considering you could get banned in 2nd gear on the motorway :smt001

Good point well made....but fortunately I live in the promised land where the ratio of fun roads to overzealous traffic plod/speed cameras is heavily weighted towards the former (don't tell anyone :smt002) so I will take my chances! I will of course let you know when my first £60 and three pointer drops through the letterbox :smt003 :smt003
