The only problem is that the bike is a heavy piece of equipment and the performance does lack slightly due to this, but none the less the bike is epitome of quality.

Pros
If you want a reliable, comfy, fuel efficient and all round decent bike look no further than the ZR7S it does everything a bike should do and is a great first big boy bike. I use it everyday and I trust it implicitly, as long as you maintain the usual stuff the bike will keep going and going.
Cons
Lower tax bracket

Vibrates at certain revs in certain gears but once you are familiar with these you ride through them
750 quad carb old school, 0-60 bout 4.5 seconds tops out at 140ish plenty quick enough for a tourer
Lower tax bracket
Old school built solid
Could use an aftermarket upgrade to braided hoses but twin front brembo disc and twin pot calipers are more than capable of stopping the bike quickly
Pros
Comfortable, great all rounder and extremely practical along with cheap running costs and an easy to maintain engine make this the perfect bike for me! I love my bike and wouldn't change her for the world. Easy to maintain, comfortable to ride and with the added top box hugely practical! The ZR7S was designed to eat the miles up and it does it well.
Cons
The bike could come with better brakes along with stiffer stock suspension.

Smooth enough, however a very heavy beast, doesn't enjoy a corner too much!
Powerful enough for day to day use. I enjoy the usability of the power.
The bike could come with better brakes along with stiffer stock suspension.
Very impressed, no issues at all!
Brakes could be better, I have upgraded the lines and pads which made a huge difference and comes highly recommended.
