I like the red part under the seat, but the one on the radiator looks out of place, it would look better flat black. plastidip.

I like the looks of this non-R model. Seems simpler. But if you have track days in mind the extra braking, faster steering, and suspension adjustability of the R can't be ignored. Just my $.02.

Almost perfect. Lose the bags and grips, redo the seat in black and add superbike bars. Done.

The price difference for the better bits on the R is more than worth the extra money. I guess I will have to see which I like more once the bike is fully assembled. It was hard to get the full picture when it was partially disassembled in the crate.

The Z1000 is the same way, It looks much better in person.

Keep the bags and grips, lose those godawful tires.

Also, plug the holes in the frame with something. Scotch corks maybe?

Blinkers maybe..

Agreed on the tires... they're fine if you want to have a center piece in your man cave, but if you want a bike to ride the bike tires designed 1950's would be better suited.

I'd almost rather have those than fucking spitfires though. My GOD are those tires a pain in the ass to put on / get off.

Also in VA your signals have to be 9" apart.
