    I looked at one before I bought the ZRX. Seemed a bit bland by
    comparison.

    I looked seriously at a 2002 model ZRX1200S, but it seemed a little too
    ponderous and bulky for me. The depreciation on most Japanese stuff is
    putting me off too. Triumph prices don't seem to be quite so badly
    affected by higher mileages and I'm bound to put quite a few on the next
    bike. The ZRX I looked at was roughly the same money as a 2004 Sprint
    RS, but I just know the ZRX will be worth half of what the Triumph will
    be in 2 years time with the same mileage.

    I'll counter that argument with suggesting that only the likes of Harley
    Davidson owners buy a machine because it has low depreciation.

    Yeah, but they're all middle aged accountants playing at being Easy
    Rider, so it's understandable they'd be worried about depreciation.

    Cue jokes about Loz not being ethical too.

    I've never owned anything made by Nike.

    Actually you're not. But them I'm doing about 600 miles/week commuting so
    oddly enough I do care a tad about the fuel consumption.
