I really enjoyed the day. I'm glad it wasn't any busier on the Monday, that was about the limit of what I can take before I start getting edgy!


What did I take away from it all?

My sports bike days are done. I just wasn't comfortable in any form when getting onto the better looking bikes. As much as I love the look of the R1M, the new blade, the ZX10 etc, I just couldn't handle riding any length of time like that. I'm weak!

Sitting on the adventure bikes and the XRs etc, that felt infinitely better. So much comfier and I think we're all aware of how well they perform. That's me sold on my next type of bike.


But then I sat on the Z H2! (gah)
I did like that!

What are they feeding the designers at Kawasaki these days... I think all their bikes are truly hideous at the moment !!

Fully agree. My kids could design better with a crayon whilst blind fold (blush)

I liked the new ZX6R and the Z-H2 looks loads better in the flesh.

Went yesterday. Had a test ride on a Triumph 1200 Speed Twin. I would say not my type of bike but great pull and felt special in my opinion
