Following on from another thread....
I haven't looked myself, but suspect its one of the first 10 options ;D
-
10 :y
-
764. :)...................which is what mine did between last years Mot and this years. ::)
-
It's a big powerful machine........and you're not a young man any more. I'm guessing you also have problems with your joints.
So....................26 miles. :)
-
I've defo done more than 26 miles in the last 3 and a quarter years ;D
-
Sub 499......Having bikes or classic cars, I have done both, is great, but do we really have the time?....unless retired........ :( :( :(
-
Voted under 1k knowing that it hasn't really moved this year but it did have several trips out with Tunnie. Work on the theory a reasonable ride out is about 100 miles should put it over 500 :-\
That said, I'm wondering if it might be the next band up :-\
-
It's a big powerful machine........
Er, well, actually no, not really. It's got the same power my old zx6 f2 had back in...what... 1996? Although all things are relative :)
It does need attention in places. Mr TB needs to decide its value. Be that either financial, sentimental or giving himself the best chance to stay alive on it by keeping it tip top. There's nothing worse than riding a bike knowing it has faults. (although that's better than not knowing)
Sadly I'm tied up for almost 3 weeks, or we could sort the little blighter out. It's all fixable and normal wear and tear.
-
I wonder if it's done more miles than my glider? ::)
-
I know it's doneore miles than my fireblade. :(
-
All the stick I get for my bike, at least I've done about 2,000 miles on it ;)
-
Aye? Mines done more than that just pushing it between garages. ;D

125 BHP....I think. The same as my FJ1200 but without the torque. :y
Still pretty healthy for something that weighs less than 250KG....(Without TB sitting on it, obviously ::) ::) ;))

wasn't that the full power version though? Was it Europe or the uk that got restricted carb tops? Or was that the zzr1100?
I bet a portion of those horse powers have leeked out by now though. Plus, as you say, add in Mr Pasty himself... :-X

Yep, Chris. Early ZZR1100's had 147 BHP once uncorked. As you rightly say the restrictions were in the carb tops. I dread to think what the combined weight of a fully fuelled ZX10 with TB aboard comes to. Do numbers go that high?. :D :D ;)

Its got the flat carb tops, so claimed to be 125bhp (137bhp with unrestricted tops and jets). Performance wise, its enough to scare me shitless. I rarely ride into 3 figures - aside from it being old, and me wanting to live, opportunities to ride at very high speed are few and far between, and worse now that many people never had bikes, and lack that extra awareness.
It is, however, really heavy, compared to newer bikes.
I keep it because its easy to ride, nice long wheelbase to keep the wheels on the ground, and is dirt cheap to run - 50mpg if a good boy (yeah, right), £55 to insure this year.
However, its value is £0. It has smashed fairing where I ate some tarmac, it leaks oil from gear shaft, and has a high rpm reluctance to hit 2nd... ...all fixable (fairing aside, mine has an odd colour scheme), but, due to value, in my mind, its only worth rectifying serious faults.
It also suffers from being underused, and worse, being put away dirty :-[
I do feel, when it goes, I'm probably unlikely to replace it, as a replacement 900-1100cc bike would be more money than the use I would get from it, as I rarely use for commuting during non-holiday periods due to either having to use the straight roads, or follow 'tards scared to go above 35mph

All the stick I get for my bike, at least I've done about 2,000 miles on it ;)
Ewan would be so disappointed

Well done to the other 2 picking 1500-1999
The actual answer was approx 1600m since Aug 09

Nearly double what I was expecting TBH ::)
-
That's probably 4 times what my CBR600 has done in the same time... :-[

My SV650S has covered 3500 miles during my 4.5 years of ownership. It's over 12 years old now, and has covered a total of 7500 miles. :y
