I'm curious, as much as I don't want to, I have to sell my VFR800 by the end of this year, because of the bloody ULEZ charge in London. And I'm not paying £12 a day to ride to work.
Currently the other option I'm considering is a ZZR1400, but the insurance will probably kill me.
yes I brought one in 2014,its a great bike ,I also had a VFR but the old 750, the Z1000sx will do everything in a more modern way off your VFR800, insurance is not expensive and running cost the same has your bike ,get the panniers ,they are one key click away from removal /refit and no frames around bike
Hi Christian, A mate of mine picked his one up a few months back and with all his years of riding different bikes, he said he's never had a bike like it. If you like the look of it, it's worth thinking about.
Cheers Ninja/Rag. Actually pulled my VFR up next to one today in a car park, and the Z looked small next to it, which concerned me. BEing 6ft 3, I don't want to look like a bear on a circus bike, but equally prefer the sport/tourer riding position to an adventure like the Versys or Crosstourer.
I guess I'll just need to ride them and find out, but good to know they're well received bikes.
Buy one!... bought one in April last year... went from someone who did a couple of hundred miles a year to nearly 5000 in 6 months, great bike, love it... oh and 3 of my mates bought them after having a sit on mine, 2 shortys and a lanky lad... lol
