J nandS Northwich bike pics

Post by Dodgy69 »

Still waiting for new bike pickup date so had a drive to jands. Those z650 are a nice looking bike also in ninja form. Also the z900 look very nice including an RS which I wasn't too keen on before.

They got some nice Ducati tourers, speedtriple massive trophy and a even massiver BMW 1800 proper armchair bike. A nice Superduke se in a goldy colour also standing proud. Finshed off with a full English. 👍

I've come to the conclusion the tank is too wide on the Z900RS, it would look a load better with the 650s tank.

Both of those 650s are WAYYYYYY too busy for me.

I hate that scheme of the 1290 SD too, i don't understand why they made that one.

That khaki green Ducati Multistrada Enduro is the bike of my dreams. I might buy one someday.

That z650 in white looked great imo and the RS carrying the retro label wasn't as bad, but would never buy a retro. The non red ducati did look nice and proper wheels. 🙂 probably agree about the gold Sd, a bit too much. 😎 Z900 is probably a cracking bike and very good value but not touching the MT09 imo.

Always nice to have a week day browse. 👍

Quite good fun to ride too and ideal for someone of your height. I have ridden that one (the original 1200 Enduro) and the newer 1260 Enduro which has the QS that i really didnt get along with. Works well at lower speed in the lower gears but up high the cutout on the shift is too long going from 4th to 5th while on full throttle. Appears its not just me as some others on the Ducati forums complained of the same but dealers reckon its all perfect.

Take that issue away and its a superb bike and i much prefer the ally panniers to the ones i have on mine ...... i even took it along some lanes :thumbup:

I don't like the newer colours or the other versions, it's that one model in the green that floats my boat.

Yes I thought the same about a Z9RS I saw at Krazy Horse, the tank is MASSIVE. I think I prefer the general looks of the RS, but I'd have the stand Z9 over the RS for what I want.
