Taffus by that statement would one mean that one would out perfom the W or (with the greatest of respect) your motor is that fucked :lol:
dont get me wrong IF.... i was to have a multi cylinder Z it would be a 6 1/2 as it just outstrips its big bro.
There aint no turkey in a W.
go on admit it how many times has your motor been cracked open for "maintenance" :idea:

The W800 does look killer but theres a tad more bling on it than the W650.

Marek thats a killer 6 1/2 :wink:

10K in 30 years =333.3333333333333333333333333333333333333@ year.
Now i would be :shock: if the motor wouldve been cracked open in that time.

I wager i did that milage P.A. on the first weekend i purchased my "W"

A fellow club member and I went to a local meet back in April this year for the older generation of bikers (so was suprised i only saw one Z1 there)

A chap who also owned a "W" but rode there on his KilleR :drool Gold Star scornfully asked me when was the last time i cleaned the "W" :?:

My reply was.....




















































"yesterday when i rode it in the rain."

He roared :!:


:lool

Nice sunny weekend, so been playing in the garage...

... fitted a Baglux tank cover that came with the bike (also has a matching tank bag too).... and another set of bars - Renthals.....

... also fitted an old skool light I got from Netley for a tenner - just cleaned it up & painted ... much better than the huge arrangement that comes as standard :|

Not 100% sure about the new light, so may get an ally BSA unit :?:
