AMCN has a write up on them in the last issue. It has ABS as standard fitment and is a bit "softer" than the Z1000 but based on the same frame, engine and suspenders.

You should probably take it up with them and tell them to pull their finger out. Our local dealer has two on the floor plus a demonstrator and they've been there at least a couple of weeks.

It's just a shame they don't come in the proper green. Nothing a spray gun and a few new stickers wouldn't fix I guess...

I'd love to have unlimited funds, the 2010 Z1000 was a ball of fun and I can only see this being better.

Sorry boys, i dont like too much fairing for a "naked" and too "toury" for a muscle bike.

If i can afford it my next upgrade will be a Ducati Streetfighter :twisted: , Fuck that pains me to say it but i think that that hits the mark. :oops:

I like Naked bikes thats all. ;)
