    I have been thinking about what if I put a CBR954 motor into a CB900 Hornet...

    That'd probably be a good thing. Just don't put in the cams from a tractor, okay?

    Saw the 2007 Z750 & Z1000 today

    The new boys on the block have reached our showrooms. I had a gander at the interesting shade of metalic green 750 which looks pretty damn smart. Shop also had a black and an orange 1000. Personally I think the stylist did OK.

    I think the stylist was my three year old. Made some pretty similar shapes with Play Doh today.

    Just read the June UK Superbike review of the 2007 Z750 they rate it again as a great buy. Apparently it's been the biggest selling bike in France for a few years? (Guess that would be due to the HP restrictions there?) The 2007 has a bit less HP, more torque, nicer suspension components and brakes but is a little heavier. Price is same as the previous models.

    I think I'll stay with the one I've got.

    Yeah they look great. A mate bought an orange? Zed Thou. They look great in that colour...much better than black. The green 750 looks cool too...

    Woohoo! Brakes fixed! Vesrah scintered pads and new brake fluid and she's all go. Not even the slightest vibration. That lovely hiss is back, and there is real feel and power and the "grabiness" has left the building. I think the pads were fluttering in the calipers because they weren't perfectly true.

    Do NOT take up the free brake pads offer with the Metal Gear disks, the pads are nasty. Nasty with a capital "N". The disks are brilliant but the pads are ghey.

    Saga closed.

    If I'd had a choice of colours, I'd have gone for the black. Sorry if these pictures a crappy quality - pinched off an ebay auction.

    The orange does look ok I'll admit. But only on Thursdays. I think I'd find it harder to live with long term.

    I see you have the older model in your pics.
    I was referring to the 07 line up.
    But hey...each to his or her own. My brother has the 06 Z750 and wouldnt be seen dead on an orange or green bike.

    Mmmm. Unsure about the 07 until I see it in the flesh. Definitely unsure about that green...

    Seen these vids?

    I have seen one in the flesh and in "that green". I liked what I saw. I also liked what I saw in its big brother, the Z1000, despite its "funky" cans.

    Breaking news!

    I've finally installed my Christmas present.

    Huge difference to the riding position and a much more natural bend to these Renthal Streetfighter bars.

    Plus the look cool

    There's some Bikestore Bar Ends on the way. I rode around the block and down the motorway and the steering feels so different! Much lighter and more precise, possibly because there's no unnatural bend to my wrists, and I have a slight lean forward to the bars. Might help the arse ache a bit.

    Check out the difference in bend angle and appearance!

    It is difficult to judge from the photos how much higher the bars are. Only indicator is the relative position of the brake fluid reservoir against the faring. How much higher is the bar?

    BTW - didn't realise so much has been done to the bike. Great project.
    Here for the ride.

    It's actually lower, believe it or not. The Kawasaki bars bend away from the clocks and up, while the Renthal is flatter and a less aggressive bend, so the reservoir ends up closer to the fairing.
