Been looking at this thing for a couple of weeks,spoke to the owner on the phone an finaly got round to taking it for a ride this avo'.
Anybody under thirty may as well stop reading now.
It's a ZR750 Kawasaki,one owner,27000 kms.
First impressions weren't very good but,to quite,to smooth,no tourqe.
Then I realised I wasn't riding it,hav'nt had a four cylinder for six bikes now.
So I drop a gear an wind it on,suddenly doing more speed than my licence would approve of,but still no noise an so smooth it's spooky.As for tourqe,well it is a four I guess so I'll get used to just smoothing off into the distance at a far greater rate of knots than the XS could dream of.
So very happy,but Custom Chambers are getting a vist from me once the other half get's over this bit.
:niceone:

Nice choice, Jack.
Hope the new pipe will be a megaphone, not a tractor muffler canister thingy.

It's bright red so I might end up writing my own "how do I get out of this ticket thread"
A new exhuast would have to be a 70-80s style four into one.
Anyway work again.
