Here's a picture of my beast (ZZR1100D6 1998 S Reg), the picture is a few years old but there are only a few changes I have done to it since it was taken:

ZZR1200 Stainless Steel Exhaust
GSXR1000 6 Pot Brake Calipers
Braided Brake Lines
Hagon Rear Shock
Hagon Progressive Front Springs
White Dials with 2 colour dimmable illumination (Blue & Green but not at the same time obviously)
White Rear indicators and tail light lenses
White Front Indicators
Stainless Steel Radiator and Oil Cooler Covers

She is still as shiny now as she was when I took the picture :cool

Had a couple of go's of the new bike now and I have to say that I love it!! :freebird

Had to re-calibrate my riding to suit the bike, as the tu0no turned very quick and this thing requires a touch more input to do the same. Had a few town missions to take care of today and just generally blatting about is so easy (and comfy). Went out to Braemar on Tuesday and really enjoyed it too. Was a bit cautious, as the roads were a bit greasy, but once I had a few miles under the belt it all just got so easy.

I need to get the cans sorted out and a tail tidy is a must, so will take care of that over the next couple of weeks.

Just found out today that you can get a quick action throttle for it!! :eek Why in the hell would you need that on this bike, I don't know.....

I'm a happy chappy. :biggrin2
