    That's "you're", unless you forgot to finish the sentence?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yes, Robert.

    Why don't you go the whole hog and describe for us how an FZ1 feels for you when you're pushing into corners under brakes?

    Was it during your first test lap that you had your revelation about the FZ1's performance, or did it take you a while to gel on your 'abysmal' conclusion?

    Changing bike ain't gonna make people take you more seriously as a motorcycle "instructor" Steve. Stick with the Hyosung - it's great entertainment

    DB, go and check out the new FZ6R (labelled as the XJ6S in NZ)

    Seriously good bike for the money at 13.5k new. Much better than its lower quality counterparts (suzukis and kawasakis) and Honda dont do a semi faired middleweight) Goes like stink too., 100hp. I love my FZ6.

    I dont need to elaborate to suit anyones hints of condescension as I have ridden them in a variety of circumstances, and you dont even need to push the bike to its low limits ( or mine! ) to emphatically realise theres an issue. And Ive had a number of people send me forks off these for modification. All of whom complained bitterly about how poorly they performed
    Having had a number apart its dead obvious why they dont work well. Simple.

    Rule #1: Don't bite.

    He knows damn well that if someone sent him the code for an embedded navigation device he'd be able to tell at a glance if it was written by script kiddies or professionals, and the same rules apply to your work.

    It's called "experience".

    Well, fairy muff then!

    Just the first-generation FZ1, or does the second-gen model suffer from front end quality issues as well?

    I can't say I noticed anything particularly terrible about its handling on the road, but then I am used to riding around the limitations of a GSX1400, in comparison to which the later model FZ1 feels like a toy.
