In the end had to be a kawcker.

Post by Fireball »

Hey guys I tested a Z900 today and loved it to bits. With a price tag of £8599 paying over 4 yrs at 0% finance deal works out a good 2 grand cheaper than the triumph 765 which isn,t 2 grand better in my opinion. The Z900 is quck, sporty, agile, s.ooth, brilliant on corners. Beautiful and powerful enough bike for road riding and occasional trakdays. I,m very happy with my decision with a bike that easily gets up to 130mph with lots still to go. I,ve chosen my colour scheme too a dark grey with green tubes. Lovely jubbly. chickenstrips

That looks very nice, happy new bike day! when do you take her home?
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

I did test a 765 too but in the end I decided that for me there wasnt enough in it to warrant a 2k difference in cost so in then the kwacker Z900 won. ;-)

Great choice. Happy New bike day have fun with it

Could you do me a favour please. I arranged a test ride on one a few months back and the Speedo was stuck in KPH but none of us knee how to change it back. I would seriously recommend finding out how to do that before picking it up as not one person from the dealership could do it so don't get stuck in the same situation

Surely someone of your generation would’ve consulted Google Rossgo???

Basically select ‘ODO’ mode, the pushing both buttons at once cycle through to which units or measure you require (nod)
