Has he seen the matt black one in Premier at Askern?
It has DSC stickers on it but dont know whos it is?
Did not have too good a look at it as we were checking the ZX10 out on the stand and the black one on the shop floor, tempting bike.

The sport differs from the super sport in that it has a single disc and unadjustable forks.
Easier to maintain in that it is a duo rather than a quattro...thus servicing costs are cheaper.
You can get them half faired here...Full faired sports are possibly parallel imports, mine is, this isn't to be confused with a grey import. Air cooled...
You can pick one up new for about 5 grand (there was a 900s in matlock brand new £4999)...there was one on fleabay that didn't sell for £2750 (bargain!)
OH!...just changed to twin discs...I recommend you do this!

Almost right Lisa, i think you'll find that all the 600, 620, 750 and 900 models have two valve heads, the 748,916,996 motors have four valve heads.

Leave her alone Paul.

She likes to whitter on, dont matter if its right or not!

She doesnt need to know how many valves it has, just how good it is on the grass?

Looked tidy enough to me, get him a test ride booked then find him one somewhere else, low trade in values at Premier and wont move on prices much either.

Very true, and when they are laying down on their side it doesnt really matter how many valves they have does it?

YES I DO KNOW THAT.....If you read the first sentence I only compared the S and the SS in the fact that the s has unadjustable forks...
