z750 v sv650

My brothers first bike was a K1 Sv650S...ok, but I wouldn't want to own it He has a FZ6n now, which is ok, but the Z has more presence.

The Kwaka leaves the Spezi for dead in the looks department alone...

hey fellas after ur opinion. I want a new bike. a supersport is out of the question. financially due to insurance.

firstly wanted to know the difference between an 03 - 04 model Z750

If their are any common problems i should know about and what i should expect to pay.

Also has anyone got any negative info on the z. only thing i can think of is the weight. but hey its not a super sport 195 aint too bad!

I'm one of the fortunate one's to own a Z1000, a very simalar bike to the 750. The one big problem I have with my bike, and you will have the same if you decide to buy one is, you'll have too much fun riding it!

Z750 all day. No contest really.

Dare to be different ; get the Spewsuki . Despite the fact that the Z is better , the forum needs someone new to hang shit on .

Also has anyone got any negative info on the z. only thing i can think of is the weight. but hey its not a super sport 195 aint too bad!

I've never ridden a SV650 but people do rate them so get yourself a test ride before they replace it with the rumored 'butt ugly' 07 model.

I have ridden a Z750 though, very nice little bike for the cash. The handling is a bit strange if you're used to a super-sports as it tips into the bends very quickly and you seem to sit on top of the front wheel....almost like a trails bike. Also as mentioned the suspension is a bit on the soft side and the brakes are nothing to write home about (still great for the money though). My only other reservation about buying a Z750/Z1000 at the moment is that they *may* be updating it next year with a better spec (fingers crossed for upside downers and radial brakes!).

Also take a ride on an ER6F as it's received some rave reviews
