Hi guys,

This was my ex bike...

Thanks guys. No I don't have any sisters. sorry about that.

My 'ol bike was a CB400. Rode her for about 4 years. Was deciding between this and a busa and ended up with this.

I'm short 5foot 5 and with a 29inch inseam it was a struggle at first. Decided not to cut the seat as well. Now I'm managing pretty well daily.

You picked the right bike. It may be a bit tall, but is so easy to ride smooth. There are a few different ways to get around the seat height if you ever need to.
What are the roads like where you live? Is the traffic crazy, or not too bad?

@jimmymac its heavy traffic lights and speed cameras everywhere kind... However the bike comes to life only when I cross over to Malaysia. It is the land where the "Asian autobahn" is as well as great roads for corners...

I always wanted a CBR. Tried riding one then I felt it was too "sporty" in the position. Busa was good but I didn't want to pay top dollar for an "old tech machine" than I found the ZX.

Only downside is parts for the zx are needed to be shipped in. Everything else is great.
