    zrx pics 020.jpg zrx pics 016.jpg zrx pics 020.jpg Just quick intro I bought a 2011 triple on thursday getting delivered by 23rd,I'm about 12 miles outside Glasgow and seen several white and black models even a burnt orange 2010 but waited out and got diablo red one,bog standard (no modding for now done too much to my zrx1100) and seems a nice one got it from raceways in Fleetwood in case anyone on here knows last owner,look forward to getting used to it as I traded in my 2000 r1 in the deal roll on the better weather got soaked on drive down to testride bike. (this has had few mods hence triple standard for now)

    bike rides well nice handling and pokey enough only wee niggles gearbox takes bit of getting used to,neutral hard to find after its warmed up (have read a bit about this),temp gauge at 5-6 bars on gauge runs fine but fan pops on and off in traffic but fine on open road may give it coolant flush and renew coolant (also read about this),not sure if engine ice would help on that front gears much easier to engage if i blip throttle not a complaint as such just different still like bike its 2011 just over 9000 mls fsh.
