Never liked the 1100 - far too heavy for my liking - my 750 comes in at around low 190 kg dry minus poxy HEAVY twin exhaust (@75 HP) apposed to 242 dry for 1100 and 8 spark plugs and not much more power ! Styling is slightly different. The Z's are worth heaps more of course but i will be staying with the ZR750. I have it to ride - not for what it is valued at. Was offered $10,000 recently at the racetrack for mine - $560 more than what i payed new.Hard to tell from my avatar what shape it is in.Thanks for the Video Steve - very interesting - but magazine reviews etc piss me off - they dont live in the real world
The 550,750 and 1100 swingarms are all different so you have a chance there fitting one - possibly.

I was joking kinda. :whistle: There's one at a local bike shop in his bone yard. I'll take a look at it and take some pics. I thought it was a Z1 at first.

Have had the "nice 9 before" quite a few times and then i tell them have a closer look ! If you could get one for a couple hundred dollars would reckon that a bargain and then strip all that awful paint off and polish ,oh and dont use that messy bloody chain lube.Have used 90 w Diff oil for years and is far superior as far as i am concerned
