well my old (and miras) gsxr750 only needed to be street fightered due to the torture rack seating position with the bars so far forward and low down... and the 7R is no better

but the 9R..... mate!

just got back from rego'ing it, its sooooo nice! feels so nice and smooth and new! feels really light too... steering is very neutral... just came home to bolt the rego plate on and now im off again for a ride

after a blast through reefton and black spurs yesterday i can say it is definately a sports bike

just a comfy one

with spastic midrange

pulls like a train from about 4k

and these wave discs!!!!! coupled with braided lines, the brakes are seriously strong... i was going into the corners soooo hard cause the brakes were laughing at me

hehehehee.... not bad for a tourer eh

well, after thinking my CDI had packed it in when i got some WEIRD readings, i did a bit of searching. found out that the ZX7R has a bit of an anti-theft thing in the ignition, it needs a 100ohm resistor on the grey wire or you get zero spark. stuck a resistor on the line and wallah, one running bike

and it just feels so much better at lower speeds now! fark i missed having MX bars on my bikes, its staying this way now, only way to ride
