ZZR-1100 / VFR-800 / CBR-1100XX



Hi all (again)

The dealership selling the ST1100 I was looking at are stuffing me
around, so I'm looking at other bikes.

Particularly, I'm looking at the ZZR-1100, the VFR-800, and the
CBR1100XX - does anyone have any comments to offer about these three?
ZZR1100 - Good bike - Heavy steering, rather dated.

VFR800 - Good bike - (the VTEC and the DCBS are uneeded and add
complexity and expense for no reason).

CBR1100XX - Good bike - DCBS ditto above, buy a fuel injected one.

G-S (bike summaries in 25 words or less).
Cant go wrong with the CBR. Take one for a ride..you wont be disappointed.
None of the other bikes has ABS, which I wouldn't be without.
I think the fact that it can be disabled easily on my bike (R1200C) is a
good thing. There may be times when I wouldn't want it and know that in
advance. Most of the time, it's much safer. You have to be a top class
rider to do better than ABS in an emergency.
