Z1000SX Tourer ABS mini-review

It fucking rocks... that is all.

Versys 650 Inter-Continental Hyperbolistic Missile , CBR600F-W racebike

BMW E46 318iSE (it's a car, not one of those 2-wheeled pieces of shite
they churn out)

 

Has it got as much low down grunt as the mags say?

Just how 'sporty' is it?

 

I saw the Facebook pictures. I don't like that shade of green but I see it
comes in black too. I could be interested in such a machine.

I see they are bringing their roadshow to within 2 miles of my house. Shame
their nearest dealers seem to be 40 miles away in Bristol or Welsh Valleys
[1]. Not quite as scarce as Guzzi dealers but not far behind.

[1] at one time S Wales Superbikes in Newport had 3 of the Jap franchises,
BMW & Triumph. Seems they are solus Yamaha now. Shame.

 

Those are fuggly exhausts. It must be me, but a nice straight chrome,
or titanium setup imho always looks best.

So. How fast does it go?
