    Also, I'll throw my 2c in for the ZZR1200 being one hell of a sport tour bike. Infact with suspension set up right it is a cornering machine!! It _always_ amazes me with how easy it tips in and how well it handles at slow speeds. At 54,000km and only a head bearing needed changing, it's still going strong with no signs of giving up.

    There is notable buzz at 4 - 6 rpm but it can easily cruise at 2 - 3rpm with significant pull in any gear so you will experience it if you're getting a bit serious in the corners, playing with the gears etc.. however with an ER6F parallel twin in tow, the buzz is nothing! haha.

    Only gripe is the seat, boggles the mind why they have such an awful seat on such a great sport tour

    I was that close to buying a ZZR1200 when I got my FJR. Almost a toss of a coin decision it was. Barry New's smile was the clincher.
