Re: XSR vs ZRS
Size was ok, physically smaller than mine but not in a bad way. It just felt a bit errrm shopping bike. But maybe that had a lot to do with it being virtually new and not mine. The clocks I hated lots.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 8:56 pmISTR you didn't get on with the size of it?weeksy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 8:55 pmRidden Trickys RS, I'd take the XSR all dayMr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 8:53 pm For nine grand I'm definitely having a Street Triple R over any of those.

Re: XSR vs ZRS
I like that a lot. I think they do need a little bit of "customising" to finish them off. I think those lower bars would really work too.

Re: XSR vs ZRS
Neither of them would make ne want to change my 1200 Monster. my Late 2015 sub 10k mile version cost a fiver under £7k. If I swap it for another naked it would probably be a newer 1200S or a Triumph speed twin.

Re: XSR vs ZRS
Its such an epic engine though. With some touring coming up, I suppose a Multi is more likely.
I will get a test ride on a Speed twin once we are allowed out though.

Re: XSR vs ZRS
Have you had your eyes gouged out with a rusty spoon and all sense removed, not only is it ugly, it's got a Chinese built Husqvarna engine, it'll shit itself big styleKungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 8:26 pm Lets mix this up a teeny bit.
So the RRP of a new council spec ZRS is £10,699
The XSR is £9,499.
How about this for £8,995?

Re: XSR vs ZRS
Perhaps it's my imagination,but,reading between the lines there,I get a slight impression this bike may not be right at the top of your list.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 5:55 pm

Then you've also got these to choose from and more (if you want new)...
