		I wrote this a day ago and the number of helmets was changed from what I originally put, so I will try again:<br /><br />
<br /><br />
I have had my Z for 3 years now and love riding it. This is my 2nd bike (1st was a Ninja 250). I wanted a bike that I could ride all day, had performance, style and versatility. It was be<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">tween this, the FZ6 and a new one year old Honda 599. This had the largest engine, most comfortable riding position, newest technology and best wind protection of the 3. The bike rides great, power comes on smoothly, except from a stop. If you are accelerating away from a stop it has to go through a dip in power first. Once it hits though, hold on. <br />
<br />
I did replace the cardboard covered in vinyl with a corbin seat and I raised the handlebars up an inch. The bike is ride all day comfortable now. <br />
<br />
It handles well, not supersport caliber, but good enough. It has been extremely reliable and is extremely unique. In the 3 years of owning it I have never run into anyone else on one.<br />
<br />
I have never thought twice about my decision to purchase this bike and I do recommend it for the casual rider, commuter and for someone that wants something different.</span>

		I have had my Z for 3 years now and love riding it.  This is my 2nd bike (1st was a Ninja 250).  I wanted a bike that I could ride all day, had performance, style and versatility.  It was between this, the FZ6 and a new one year old Honda 599.  This had the largest engine, most comfortable riding po<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">sition, newest technology and best wind protection of the 3.  The bike rides great, power comes on smoothly, except from a stop.  If you are accelerating away from a stop it has to go through a dip in power first.  Once it hits though, hold on.  <br />
<br />
I did replace the cardboard covered in vinyl with a corbin seat and I raised the handlebars up an inch.  The bike is ride all day comfortable now.  <br />
<br />
It handles well, not supersport caliber, but good enough.  It has been extremely reliable and is extremely unique.  In the 3 years of owning it I have never run into anyone else on one.<br />
<br />
I have never thought twice about my decision to purchase this bike and I do recommend it for the casual rider, commuter and for someone that wants something different.</span>
