Im loving it (sorry) Ive just got back from a 1500 mile tour of west coast scotland.

here we are on the top of baelach na baa on the way too applecross




mine is the black tiger remember

In my opinion therer is no other tyre better for the R than the Z6
I tried dunlops & bridgestones before the z6,s great mileage & grip 7000m looking @ on the rear but I sold it before I had done that mileage.

When I had my R I got no more than 3500miles to a set of dunlop d207,s but I later found the shock was knackered so I swapped it & put a pair of metzler z6,s on & what a difference they are a great tyre for that bike & I expected well over 6000m but I swapped the bike before I got to fin...

My uncle dropped his 200 mile old 1300fjr yam(his fault so own insurance claim) earlier this year in a 15mph spill on a roundabout (engine bars were fitted) Looking @ the bike in my opinion (round bikes for 17 years & mechanic for 10)it was mainly cosmetic damage but pricey & worth doing on ...

Whats replacing it the new 800 twin

or an all new 1200 R

Even though I swapped mine for a tiger I think its a real shame about it being discontinued its a really underrated bike that does everything well.

I just hope the s/hand prices dont drop a deal for you lads who still have one.

cheers Malc
