New Z1100R Owner
Hi all
After literally years of agonising, I’m very pleased to say that I’m the buyer of Tonka’s Z1100R ( http://z1ownersclub.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=45018 ). I know it’s a fair bit of money, but it seems like such an excellent example that I jumped once the previous “buyer” disappeared and it was relisted. I just couldn’t see when a similar opportunity would come around to get a bike I've been after since my 20s. It’s being transported down to me here in Sussex later this week.
My usual ride is a BMW K1300R and I’ll be keeping that.
My riding buddy has a much-modified Z1000R that’s nearly ready, so very much looking forward to some laughs.
Jon

Welcome. A very desirable bike you have there. Glad it is going to a good home.. Enjoy it.
Re: New Z1100R Owner
Thanks chaps!
Having fun trying to insure it with an agreed value and no NCB. One company wanted £15 to agree the value, but then wanted photos which they would submit to an "expert" for their opinion - and if it was less than I would accept, they would refund the £15. Others seem happy to accept my value for £12 a year, which I guess is reasonable, can't possibly take the risk of it being underinsured.

Re: New Z1100R Owner
Welcome!
That really is a lovely thing, and the second rarest of all of the Zeds. If I have one tip for you it would be to leave the aftermarket swinging arm right where it is. My Davida was the most-noticeable change I made to my J, which was a revelation compared to the stock one. It's a bolt-on item that can be swapped in minutes, but I wouldn't....

Nice bike, I was very tempted to buy it myself.

A good number of us on here use Peter James Insurance for our classics. Agreed value and no claims doesn't count with classic insurance. No charge for agreed value etc.
