Test rode this yesterday:



Very impressive and decided that after 3 years of owning my K1300S HP, this should replace it. They had one left for delivery next month so I'll get it in time for our BBOT European Bike Tour starting August 15th.

If anyone has read the review in Bike magazine, which gave it a 5* rating, all I can say is that they were spot on on how good it is.

What are you testing? ZX-10? Or something else?

Without being biased I would recommend test riding a gixxer 750.

Unless you are going to take it on track you are not going to notice a massive difference between the 750 & a litre bike.

When I swapped from an R6 to an R1 the only difference I noticed was that I changed gears less ...

Try a 1300 - You don't need to change gears then !
