I like the looks of the Z1K, but it's physically too small for me (I'm 6'6"). I haven't tried the older generation, but the current generation looks like a pocketbike under me.

The only problem with my bike is its not a true 800. I cry at night because of it.
COME ON 7TH GEN with yo 1000cc V4 and gear cams and get rid of the useless vtec. Make daddy happy. |
