Man seeks forgiving bike

That could be the case but I think he is just overwhelmed by the very
pinkness of it.

So ride round town more often and get used to it you lazy git.

 

Nah not that sort of worn out, more the "shit this is painful" sort of worn
out.

ZR7S Kwak. Have one for sale £2900. Blue, 01 plate taxed.
If you are near Durham you can have a go see what it's like. Light,
upright position, low theft prospects.
I am 5 9" and have 29 inside leg, and can touch both feet on the floor.
My back is also bad, at times, but unlike you, the crouch over style of
my blackbird is more comfortable, queer innit?

No, I think if you read the text it says pink - or more specifically,
flamingo pink.

 

It also says "Customer Endorsements" FFS they must be quick

Not as quick as you on that pink scooter.

 

Jesus, crippled and colour blind. Lets hope you've not got big ears as well.

David Thomas says...

Looks pink from where I'm sitting

I've got one of those, they are very spaz-friendly. Only downside I can
see with the model Bezza and I have[1] is they only have a kickstart. An
electric start version[2] was also sold over here, but the starters are
shit and alot have been converted to kickstart with bits from the
earlier model.

But what about the bike???

 

Insanely Sensible says...

The bike isn't as hard.

 

I've just realised how much so today. Mine[1] went in for a service
today and I was surprised at how much easier the ZX9R loan bike was to
paddle around.

I found the Bandit handles fine when riding but feels top heavy when
beng maneuvered around. I expect to drop it on my head one day when
checking the oil sight glass (no centre stand see?).


[1] '96 600N as above except in red.

 

How about a GPZ500S? Light, fast (for what it is), low seat, fairly
upright position.

I had a Virago, not at all good for my back (YMMV) as I was putting
all the weight on my coccyx. Also a heavy beastie for such a small
bike, especially when paddling it about.

Maybe not lower and lighter but it won't fall over

I think you're all being a bit hard on young David here.

The colour's not going to look right on any of those photos. Just look
at the grass, it's way off. I've readjusted the levels a little to get
a more "natural" colour on the grass. Mak up your own minds.
