Advantages: Fast, Economical Disadvantages: Heavy, Stock front brake calipers
I bought a 1992 H reg from Ebay last year. I initialy wanted a V-Max, but the Scottish Weather is really not good for that. I wanted a torquey bike that took off when you asked it to.
Well the Big Zed does that perfectly. It is fast, nippy and still looking quite fashionable. I managed to do 54mpg on a trip ridden at National Speed Limits (60mph max.) But if you have fun with it you can expect about 170m before the reserve (15l) the tank takes 21l
With correct tires, this bike handles perfectly on corners, but I agree it's not a 160kg R1!
You'll be in complete comfort whilst you'll see all you mates stretching their legs and lifting their butts off the saddle he he he he ...

I bought this processor for £145, for the E4 stepping, which is cheap for the same core as what is put in the FX series of processors (San Diego). This features a whopping 1MB L2 cache which enables the processor the slight edge in games. The chip operates at 2.2 Ghz, however the AMD Index rating rates it at 3700+. This is the equivlent roughly of a pentium 4 or an Athlon Thunderbird at 3.7 Ghz. AMD rates this at 3700+ because it does more instruction per cycle (1 cycle = 1hertz) than the other two processors.
The new San Diego cores use the new DSL ...
