I even considered the naked version myself before buying my Z800. Fancied a bigger engine in the end as I was hoping to do a bit of touring in the UK last summer but constant restrictions made it harder to plan anything. Make a great cheap to run commuter/city bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditch them and fit R&G crash bungs, they look far more classy and weigh a fraction of the weight of those bar's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maipenrai Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I can recall years ago seeing a tiny Thai girl regularly riding in and out of Walking St. on a full-sized Fireblade... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my early 20's in late 80's /early 90's, an old girlfriend of mine had a Suzuki GSX1100R, the old early slab side model, and she was only about 5 foot 2 and about 8 stone. And they were quite heavy old things as well. Edited December 30, 2021 by galenkia 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also recall seeing her, in a distinct lack of 'protective clothing' too. Hopefully she is still about and not bearing the scars of her prior antics... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those were the days, the little 400cc imports like the CBR, GSXR, VFR, FZR, ZXR, etc. And the 250cc stinkwheels alongside like the RG, NSR, KR1, RS, TZR etc. Some of the best times ever for me regarding bikes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Stinkwheels" i love your terminology, and so very true, but who did not love the smell of Castrol R !! That era also holds many fond memories for me too mate..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
