Hi Potential Newbie.
I used to have a Kawa ZRX1200s. I took a second hand Bus for a ride and hated it. Could not get it to turn in. Lovely get up and go though. I thought it might be the huge back tyre.
Max then lent me the keys to his and then lent me them again. Very hard to give back. I opted for a new '06 in blue and grey. (it's a metallic paint job) Fitted it with a pair of Yoshi Tri-Oval cans. Niiice.
The 190/50 tyre on the back is no problem. It was the tyre pressures in the second handie.
I ummed and ard about the new ZX14 but I think it's going to be about 22K on road. Out of my range.
Rode the ZX12R and couldn't feel at ease on it. The Blackbird just didn't feel right. The Bus is nice and feels stable. Does need a higher screen though. You really have to hang on or tuck in when you get it wound up.
All I can say is ride a bunch of bikes on your short list, make sure the tyre pressures are correct, and go from there.
Max's black and blue one is faster than mine but he's as twisted as his throttle.
Regards, Busdriver
