    Cool, a stretched limo, you'll be able to take the missus and kids on that one.

    What's that? Do I hear the sound of an FZ1 rolling on in top gear and slowly disappearing in my mirrors?

    The reason you are hearing that harmonious and somewhat arousing tune is cause my zorst is level with your helmet.

    Enough bullshit.
    Congratulations, a good choice there sir. Score one more for the nakeds.

    I knew you really wanted a naked muscle bike. Probably the best choice in the range, after a ZRX1200R...

    There's something about stump-pulling torque on demand. Get your friendly Suzuki dealer to change the rubber to Avon Storms immediately!

    Givi does a really nice fly screen for those. And TBR does a great loudener. Heated handgrips and a set of throw-over panniers and you'll be in business.

    Good skills, Sir!

    What a bland, ugly, pointless heap of retro shit.

    Congratulations on the new bike purchase. Christmas is a grand time to be buying new bikes,
    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.

    And I can get a new one.

    Virgin.

    No screen. I much prefer the way the wind behaves at 160kph on a fully naked GSX1400 to the way I've felt it behave on various bikes with various screens. Smooth, untroubled flow. Fine by me.

    Sorry, there was no 'Yoshimura' in that sentence. Please repeat in a more understandable fashion.

    I'm thinking more along the lines of a packrack and a giant mutant 500-litre thing to hang on it. Heated handgrips for the win, of course!

    It's just a big Bandit, right?

    Enjoy it
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Not really. Different engine, different suspension, different geometry. Heavier. More torque. Lots of torque. 120Nm by halfway to redline kinda torque.
