a LOT less torque ! lol

i borrowed a mates ZZR1100 for 15 minutes one day then when i swapped back onto my zxr it felt awful, revvy, gutless, shite ..

was ok 10 minutes later when my brain re-calibrated itself ..

looks a nice zxr though .. any pics of your EXUP ? ive always fancied one of them.

i do like the paint on your bike, not quite OE, but V V nice,

is it metallic/pearlescent ? cant quite tell from the pics.

yes very nice paint, get rid of the www. sticker and the 400r and it'd look even better! :smt002

Yes the blue on the bike is metallic and whoever did the spray job did a good one :smt003

and i totally agree with you about the 400r and forum stickers....the last owner had them

made up and he put them on but i did think that they don't flow with the lines of the paint

scheme if you know what i mean.....they could well come off today :smt002 and cheers

for the input guys :smt001
