Mind you, he also said: "Hmmmm. ZRX1200R..."

I went from a 250 to a 1200 (well, 1164 to be precise). Apart from having to spend money, it was largely painless. It was almost exactly a year ago as well.

Have fun on that Honda!

Whoa! that's crazy...

Ah I can't wait.......

But I have too :sneaky2:

oh yeah... bikes i've had
few 250s...a 1200ish... a 360... few 400s... 2 900s... a 750... a 900...
over the years roughly in that order... 1200 was a HD tractor tho (rigid, sprung seat)
last 12 months a 250, 400, 600

good choice!! not really a honda kinda guy but they are a useful piece of kit. just be careful when buying they do have a few gremlins in the timing and induction. nothing that a quick read on the net wouldn't fix.

my history is a bit rocky, started riding in 1999 i have had 5X 250's 1x 600 and the 1X 750. yeah... about the 250's, just say i was a slow learner

started on a 350 S2 tripple
worked up from there
still own the second bike i bought an 500 H1 tripple
have had a few over the years, nothing smaller than a 500 though
if you get the chance take a ZX10R for a test ride,
may change mind about the honda

Yeah, the SP's not bad.
I started on a CB350, then a GT380, RD400, GT550, Kaw 900, Z1R, GSX750, Duke Darmah, GSXR750RR, CBR1100XX, Hayabusa and I'm currently considering my options.

In answer to your question......list below...
Started when I was 15 with a 125, and progressevly (or regressed) moved on to bigger and wider things - i'm now riding a 1400, and it has plenty of everything, and rides it's self pretty much, I just tag along on the seat and point the bars in the direction i think I should be going -

Good luck with your new mount...when you get it!
