Hi Rob

it felt like I was coming home the seating position and riding position are almost identical I will let you know more on the riding styles and characteristics of both after the weekend as I’ve only ridden it round the car park at work where it is stored till Thursday when I ride it home

Hi Rob

Well all I can say is The ZXR handles just like the KR1S it's very nimble changes direction with ease and stops on a 5 pence piece very happy indeed and it is great fun keeps up with lager bikes through the twisty bits just like the KR did

Also handles like a dream in the Wet too I got a little wet this afternoon got caught in a torrential thunderstorm but the ZXR stuck to the road like glue even in the bits where the road was more like a river I was always nervous of heavy rain on the KR1S as it was so light however the ZXR felt planted on the road

now i'm hoping for a little sun this week so i can enjoy the bike a bit more before i go back to work
