This is a joke, right? No only is that not a two stoke, it's not a Honda either, it'll end in tears
Oh well whatever floats your boat (or in the case of the ZXR750 probably sinks it Shocked ), enjoy the workout Wink

I know I know!

Well, I had a ZXR750L1 about 6 years ago, and regreted selling it. That had alot of work done to it and was very quick. Close ratio box, trick cams, race system etc...

Dont worry, the hugger is going. Its got rearsets, quickshifter, full micron, braided hoses.

I just love big 4 strokes. My last 750 had Ohlins shocks all round too, this one will be going the same way! Wink

I can think of a few bikes I'd rather than than the NSR, but that one certainly isn't on the list!

I'm sure you'll have though!

Ill swear by it! Barry, its shame you couldnt keep the NSR as well youll miss the 2 stroke. When its done give Fontyy ago Laughing Bet it changes his mind!!!!! GO ON fontyy hav a go !!!! Very Happy

I'm going to keep my eye out for another NSR, but I love big 4's. Wink

Dave, I can also think of a few bikes I'd rather have than an NSR too, and I like a road bike with plenty of power. Maybe I'll have an NSR next year as a track bike. Wink

At last I can sit here with a smug grin on my face, having an MC21 and a ZXR750J2 in the garage!! (Oh, and a very sick looking RVF400). There is no sweeter sound than a ZXR with a "fruity" can!

Not alot then! Laughing I find it very hard to belive UNLESS you are a complete and uter 2 stroke nut that the Blade, 748 and RC45 didnt impress. they blew my mind awsome bikes 748 being the best on the track. and you havent tried a ZXR750? Very Happy and as for sinking and being heavy, you ride a transalp!!!! and didnt the 28 just sieze? Very Happy serious mate try a sorted ZXR750 its as plannted as they come brilliant bike.

The 'blade was heavy, the 748 was heavier and felt it until it got going, Steve's RC needs the clutch slipping at under about 40mph (awesome bike though, far far too fast and didn't feel it, filtering at over 150mph anyone?)
They are just to easy to go fast in a straight line and too hard to stop and turn, that's not what I want in a bike presuming I'm just out for a fun time.

In my humble opinion it's the weight that causes all the woes, to say they are so similar sized and powered, even down to the same brakes my NC35 is light years behind in handling and braking (or so it feels) of the '28 and the likelyhood of any modern bike suddenly breaking 130kg is low indeed so the '28 stays at least until I get an RS. Twisted Evil

The Transalp is just a tool, it gets me to work with zero fuss in the minimum time possible, it's perfect.

As for the '28 seizing, yep it did, that ZXR at the trackday wasn't too heathly either Wink that's what mechanical stuff does, works for an indeterminable amount of time then breaks. All two strokes break more than 4 strokes as a general rule, they also tend to cost less to fix and it's easy to do. If you run a two stroke you deal with it, it will happen.
And if we're on about reliablilty we're back to Honda again, I know of several v4's with over 100,000 miles on the clock and no problems yet. I doubt many Kawasaki's are that long lived.
