Wouldn't you know it, walked into Red Baron to see if my jacket I ordered was ready........ No ..... BUT I saw a bike so beautiful I had to have it. Better luck the pillion on seeing it made me buy it.
So what did I buy? :ride: :whistle: :banana:

Wanted one for ages. Wasn't really in the market to buy but it was a steal and in better than mint condition! :Punk:

Well I reckon about the only thing that wouldn't look like a 250 would be a ZZR, so that's my bet. :ride:
Congratulations on new bike ownership, whatever it is BD.

Congrats from me too on the new wheels.

As a fellow westie id like to think i know how Big Dog thinks, and know his style...
ZZR? They make 1200's ? thought they were 11's... hmm so maybe not...
or maybe i dont have a clue? :P

Doing my networking exam and working out my notice at my old job (I had to catch up all the work I did not do while on sick leave if I wanted to leave three days early to start my new job). Started a new job today.
Should have a lot more time now that I am on a roster instead of on call.
As to the second part let others weigh in before I go spoiling the surprise. :2thumbsup

Hints,
Carbon fibre look gel seats.
Carbon fibre look dash.
Difficult to see speedo / Tacho unless riding so enthusiastically you are unlikely to have time to look.

Some interesting results so far.
Some of the bikes I thought would be movers only have a single vote, the sp2 does not surprise me.
Some of the choices are more obviously influenced by the preferences of the respondents than any knowledge of my size. lol. One of the faster moving lines would mean I would need to take up yoga for a couple of months to not do myself permanent injury.

The answer is in the subtext. It is not what is said but what is not.
Until it is given away by what resides in my driveway I'm not confirming or denying anything it is too much fun seeing what people think I need.

ok I'm sticking with a ZZR12.
Because;
A) they are big and amazing
B) perfect for a pillion
C) I know you wouldnt go be silly and buy a suzuki

Hmmm Suzuki TLR 1000.

The reference to pillion comfort narrows the choices considerably. I reckon it's the ZZR.

OK, ive changed... it isnt a SP2... so it must be the ZZR-1200 if it isnt the GSXR1300

My pillion Sreamed "WHOOOO, we made the right decision!" as soon as we slowed down enough for her to be heard on the first ride last evening. :banana:
Nothing beats a pillion that SUPPORTS spending stupid amounts of money on a whim / passion, the same week you change jobs to go to a lower salary. :love: .

I never said you were wrong I hinted you were prolly right and that the kawa was wrong.
Love the kawa but 1 pipe just looks wrong unless it is underseat.
Sexy bike but it just did not have the sam raw animal appeal.

Hmmmm. Bussssa.
Nice bike, but possibly a little small for a man of your stature.
Possibly you could have been better off welding two ZZR1200s together ;)
Anyway congrats from one new Suzuki owner to another. :niceone:
