I also read a pretty good report from one of the Pommy mags which one of the guys had up at Jindabyne over the weekend. It was very complimentary about it!

zx12 to zx14 to versys....I can see that
The 12/14 idea was to replace the 9! But as I am not going to offload the 9 then I don't need a 250+kph sports bike. What I really need, is a simple, reliable, cheap to buy, cheap to run, mile munching, gear toting, super comfortable, grunty and fuel efficient touring bike, which is still happy when the road turns loose!

So my thoughts are back to things which fit that design brief. I really have to buy this bike with my head, not my heart! It's going to be the mile eater which I use to go tripping about the countryside during 2008!
