I wouldn't mind tbh but there aren't many around and they have been a
long time out of production.

For both I fancy.

I like the look of the intruder. A few too many fins on the engine for
my taste to call it perfect but other than that it works well.

No. Although, a seriously low mileage one owner factory spec EN would
tempt.

You can get away with taking a bit out of the seat foam if need be.

On the 2000 model the seat height is 805mm.

 

They're about 65-70, depending on who you belive. Smallish tuning
(pipe, filter, ignition timing) takes them to 70-75.

To get them to 80 you're looking at a big bore kit.

 

Lovely tinyurl there Alan.

You looked fucking funny trying to get on Donovan's one last time.

 

Got two that fit the bill in my garage - CB500 (possibly the S if you're
doing longer-distance stuff) and CBR400RR (though probably not your cup of
tea).

Or the 600 hornet. You selling yours then?

 

No, I'm thinking I'll probably keep it 'til it dies, for winter hackage.
Reckon that'll be quite a while, unless I interface with a lorry or lampost.

There were plenty around in good nick between £900-£1500 when I bought mine.
Residuals on them don't seem to be that great, so good deals can be found.

I am not really sure I understand this winter hack bit. If you are happy
with your ride then why put it away just because it gets colder for a
bit.

 

take a look at my bike and compare it to the spotless thing it was two
years ago and then you'd understand.

I have to admit that the last time I saw your bike I didn't really pay
it much attention.

 

My reasoning is that, in slippy-slidey winter weather, I'm more likely to
bin my bike and / or get it covered in crud. My CB500 can survive both far
more cheaply than the ZX6R can. I'm also keeping the CB for commuting -
something that it's substantially more capable of doing that the '6R.

 

I'm thinking about one of these as a winter hack.

So when conditions get more difficult you leave the best bike at home.
The best brakes, the best suspension, the best tyres, the most comfy
ride, in fact the one bike you feel well at home on and have most
experience with you leave at home. I can see the sense in that.

And of course you stop washing your bike in winter.

Gotta do better than that to convince me.
