If you had to choose: ZRX1200R or GSF1200S?
 
The Fireblade is gone, and I'm considering a bike that's a bit softer, better for two, not as hectic or aggressive... and I find myself deciding between the ZRX1200R and a GSF1200S Bandit.

I've narrowed it down to those two front-runners, but the right XJR1300 or CB1300 could be there too.

If it were your choice, which would it be?

ZRX without a doubt. Saw a couple in Walderstown today, smashing looking proper muscle bike IMO:thumbsup2::thumbsup2:

ZRX. Bandit's nice but the kwacker is the biz.

Heart sez da kwak, but head sez bandit. Much more practical for touring two up wit dat fairing. Try and get one wit a wingrack. I have a spare wun in da garage, might be fer sale.

Zrx is a far nicer looking bike so would win for me based on that... I know nothing else about them though so its prob a silly opinion:lbhbh:

Sure are nice mind you that one in the link has been modded (nicely). Build quality would also make a mockery of both the kwaker and rustuki btw.

Yeah, if I had an infinite budget those CBs are beautiful.

The "heart" vs "head" debate is a strong one. Right now I'm leaning toward the ZRX...

Had a zrx 11, i'd imagine not much in de difference between de 12. Sorriest thing i ever done was let it go. As de lads say its a proper muscle bike wit plenty o poke, brother reckoned it was de most comfy bike he ever rode. Only thing i would advise is not to have it in de usual green blue white, think its de eddie lawson colour scheme they call it. I had a real dark purple almost looked black but in de sun it shone nicely. Go for it. Proper man's bike!!!!!

Sorry if i offended but i meant 9 out of 10 is de same colour scheme. Yeah its no doubt nice but unfortunately pretty common, no denyin it. All i'm sayin is try somethin different colour wise. It sure as shit can make some difference. If everythin was de same then wat would be de point!! Make it ur own.

CB1300 or X11 be my choice, but of the other two I'd have to let the heart rule the head and go with ZRX
