    Sacriledge! Still, didn't Kawasaki and Suzuki try a joint venture program recently? Didn't work out for them, either!

    Then I don't like people putting Chev motors into Fords either...

    Now, a Hyabusa engine into the GSX-R Thou chassis... That would be interesting! Or a Hyabusa into a GSX1400 chassis...? Probably be a better fit.

    I agree the ZRX is not much of a handler where the GSX14 or even the Bandit is better. That Busa engine is one powerful, torquey and robust piece of kit that would do any bike justice I reckon.

    Maybee but I would think that with the modifications that he has done like the busa front end and the mono shock rear that it would prolly handle better than a stock ZRX

    Have you ever ridden one? I owned one for 36,000km. I reckon they handle brilliantly -- fully adjustable suspension front and rear -- way better than Bandits. Sheesh!

    Kawabunga!!

    My experience has been positive. They are a great machine and heaps of fun. Only did 2000ks on he one I had but found it a rewarding experience both around town and in the country. Great 2-up bike which had lots of lowdown grunt which is all you need. Miss the underseat storage it had.

    Sheesh back to you. Yes rode one from Brisbane to Sydney it was an 'S' model (with the fairing). Long enough to get a rough idea how it handled don't you think. Oh and I rode ZRXers a few times and also rode with him a lot. Yes more adjustable than the bandit but thats where it ends, it still didn't handle as well. A bit porky and the rear end is just plain old technology. Apart from that I quite liked it especially the engine and it could wheelie quite well too.
