I'd take the Z too. The lines are almost as flowing as the original.

The Z900RS has a slightly odd riding position, then again so does my 1982 Z1000J

Re: I'm not in the market for a new bike...
I'm not either, but I'd probably go with a 890 or mt10 or maybe a tuono, possibly. I spoke to a bloke with an rs and it wasn't doing it for him.
Then there's the gsx1000gt...

A V85TT or a GS.
I can't see me buying a brand new bike until maybe that electric Speed Triple actually goes on sale though.

Love the look of the Z RS really nice looking bike. It'd also have the go with the show which isn't always the case with retros.

What he said.
I looked at all of the new stuff the other weekend @ the MCN festival and there's nothing out there at the mo that gets me even a little excited, so my choice is something left field, although with a poxy 100 mile range it could never be an only bike

Also not looking to change but I did go and have a look at one of these last week. It was utterly lovely but Just didn't seem worth ten grand, at least not to me. And it would probably break.

I'd get a test ride on an R Nine T and probably end up hating it. I'd also like a mid size sporty twin but have so little interest in new bikes I wouldn't know where to start
