Hi Snakeboy, not looking to get into a bun fight here, clearly you have put way more miles on your Z than most of the rest of us here and as such represent 1 very relevant data point. Your note on 2009 models and Ted’s on 2004/5 R models are great insights for the OP.
But if we tell everyone asking questions that a particular bike model is rubbish because one example had issues over a 200,000kms life, or there are some weak points for a model that emerge over time, then there’s going to be a seriously short list of feasible bikes that make the grade. This was the point I was making by citing my pals with big DR issues.
Cheers
Andy
