Thinking of getting another bike

[Dazzle]

Anyone own or have owned a zx6r B1H in particular? I've found one at a good price and its my dream bike any tips on things i should be looking for when buying? and any riding experience are they any good? i can't imagine there poo! Thanks Daz

[masterofinsanity]

my mate had one and said they were shite and didn't handle, personally i think it was his ridin, i would go for one, think they are the nicest zx6r they brought out.

[Vard66]

Pretty thing, that.

IMO, not as pretty as the A1p, but the saddle height on the B1h and C1h are far more suited to someone who's comfortable on a ZXR400... i.e: a shortarse like me.

i've never ridden one .. but i want one.

[simmo]

my mate has 1 and ive had a go on it, i thought it was awsome, and handled well. and they sound awsome with a race can on, they proper scream high up in the revs, sounds awsome,

[rene]

never ridden one but everyone who i know who owns one raves about the handeling. Not sure why your mate wouldnt like it baz.

They do say its nothing like a honda, you have to properly take it by the hairys and force it to do what you want not stroke it and ask nicely.

iirc they have a masive service every 15,000 miles or somthing that costs a boom so make sure its been done before you get hold of it!

The only thing i've heard about them is they are one of the best handling 600's money can buy.

mmmm i'm definalty interested now i've always loved the looks of the bike i think it's the best looking 6! May have to go and have a look at this one then and see what its like. I like the handling of my zxr400 so want a bit more power but don't wanna loose the fun! Thanks for your info guy's

I havent ridden one but my brothers got one, he has had it for atleast 2yrs and swears by it!

Absolutely awesome bikes, but I've heard of gearbox complaints. Lad on 125 forum killed his gearbox within 9k from new irrc, might be to do with his riding more than the fault of the bike though.

Absolutely AWSOME choice. Definately not for the faint hearted. Only problem ive had with mine is a missfire at 12.5k rpm,, which apperas to be caused by the alarm (Datatool System3), seems to be interfeering with the fuel pump.
Body panels etc are STUPIDLY expensive, £752.88 for a fuel tank!!

I was gonna get a shiny blue B1-H in 2005 and when I went to the bike shop, they had already sold it, but they did have a green 2005 C1H for just £500 more with 1200 miles on the clock.
Yeah, watch out for that 15k mile service though. It's why I got rid of my C1h for the P7. £800odd for the service and stuff, or just swop it in for a brand new bke...

I thought the B1H were best until they put the exhaust under the seat. I like underseat exhausts.

There's a chap that still uses one as his stunt bike, Mark Griffiths, I think he's called.

ive been debating a ducati monster - need something a bit more comfortable than the zxr as looks as though I am going to be using it for a 30min commute everyday in the near future

that said, i do the the zxr, wonder if i can get away with having 2 and not being sensible and buying a car !

I've been looking at Ducati 748's for when my 2 years NCB is up.

Anybody know what they ride like? Servicing etc?

[wonderpupp]

Do it. Have 2 bikes.

Then get a car.

I have 3 bikes and a car, and it's ll affordable.

Ha haaah.

(I've always had 2 bikes as I learnt to drive a car waayyyyyy after I had ridden bikes for years.)
normally 1 offroader, 1 racer.

I have a ZX6R and a ER6N for my daily commute. Ther ER6 is a lot of fun. Try one. And it's dirt cheap to insure. If you keep the ZXR400, you can interchange tyres. lol.
