... my ears beautifully, imo... https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1555/24849863745_ba5a861e95_z.jpg ;) It's also waterproof (resistant) and windproof. It looks like good bit of kit but I really do fear it won't do me any favours lol!!

I would seriously consider getting shot of the Bridgestones? and getting some proper tyres on it. I have never felt the front is right on Bridgestones.

I've got two sets of BSB take offs in the garage that will be going on when the temperature hits double figures

Very nice bike. Looks mint.

Looks good, Monty.

Looks a great bike in great condition.

If your worried about the handling just check it's all back on stock suspension settings and tyres are correct pressure as a good starting point. We can have a good play when we go out for a ride if you want.

Looks mint that even if it is still upside down. Enjoy!

I'm pleased you liked it. But that didn't fit in with my joke.

Not sure in what way it looks less transformer than the MT10, though. In fact, not as nice looking to these eyes.

The Z1000 looks ace and is like a bmx with an engine strapped to it to ride ,its seriously fun

... MT10, shockingly. But I've ridden the Yamaha CP4 engine and I know what it does compared to a standard IL4. ;) Of course, I was talking about on looks. One of those bikes I like the look of FAR more than the other. Sorry if that was hard to follow.

Take it over a Z1000 all day, every day.

have you ridden either?

As opposed to the Z1000, whose major selling point is being green.

It's a bit generic. Let's pick a few things we like and stick them together. To be frank, the limited z1000 for 2016 looks better

... with, what I would class as, the best of everything. Comfortable seating position, agile handling, sufficient power, characterful engine, great looks, great sound The old ones did suffer with reliability issues though... QA was not something Ducati had heard of I believe

That looks fun.

My SX looks really good. A couple of bolts have been attacked by the road salt but they're low down where they've been exposed to the most water such as rain, standing water and flicked up mist.

I'll take some photos at the weekend so you can see the condition it's in.

Looks like the 16 model might be driving used prices down as this is an absolute bargain.

... so what exactly do you do with it? $_1.JPG I bought one of those a while ago with the spray bottle but never got round to using it. My new bike looks mint and I'd like to keep it that way! I've got a set of black bodywork to put on to keep the white bodywork mint so while the plastics are all ...

... do a brief post now and flesh it out later. I've got this as a bike for the day while they work on z1000sx. First impressions - it's no beauty but looks sturdy and practical. That seat looks very tall, which is confirmed when I finally sit on it. I'm just shy of 6 foot and I can just get both feet ...
