Meh - I made the mistake of giving her my word and stuff...
I've thought about the black strip thing, and it's my plan to ask her - but I recently asked her again and she got in a major flap about it, so I'll have to wait a while and try talking her around again!
I'll get it eventually!
Then it's the ones of her in her underwear holding my Desert Eagle...

I baught my new baby last night. Thouroghly enjoyed it untill I learned a few things
Firstly the light bulb was missing on the Speedo, although I don't really care how fast I ride. The police on the other hand seem to have something to say about it. So I can't take her out past late till the dealership sorts it for me.
Secondly the bike isn't bloomin taxed! So I will have to wait a couple of days to get my cover note before I can tax it.
Finally... it doesn't like dirt tracks lol. I took it gently down my track and it flew straight out from under me and bend the gear lever... a short attack with the plyers and it's back and running again but I learned a valuable lesson.
Apart from that the bike is wonderful and I can understand why you guys are all so dedicated to it. Oh and bloody hell does this thing shift !

you can tell the speed by rev's ect, i only just put a new drive cable on the 750, and the crossers never have them (keeps the millage down as well

)

Are you talkin about a ZXR or a crosser, if its the ZXR stick to the tarmac much better. but they are good beasts to take on the twisties.

Wopps i ment speedo cables. On the crossers they snap off all the time getting court on stuff so i dont bother with them any more
The 750 one went a while back and only just replaced it, i dont really bother looking at the speedo. When your turfin around twisty back roads you dont get time to see what speed your doing
though town you can sort of judge were 30-40mph is

True i see what you mean there. one thing i have noticed most ppl on this site hit the 750's after the 4's are they much more expensive to insure than a 600?

I think your average VFR750 is actually cheaper to insure than a ZXR400!!!
Actually, most 750's were, if I remember correctly... YZF750, ZXR750... I think the ZX7-R was a bit more in my quotes.
I think the main reason for going to a 750 is that 600's behave pretty much the same as the 400, and there isn't much speed difference to justify a step-up without getting bored quickly (apart from the 600's in the last 4 or 5 years).
1000's are just overkill.
A 750 is plenty fast enough for the roads to ensure you can keep up with anything, and also has all the torque that a 600 lacks, so you can do long journeys without stressing the engine.
They just make the most sense after a 400.

Yea iv noticed quite afew ppl are on 750's not i wouldnt mind a ZX7 when iv done a year on the 4 but im not sure if the insurance would smite me for it. hmm but they sound like a reasonable choice. i keep lookin at bikes an thinkin if i get a 6 will it become sh@ quickly!
