Zs 180's rule

Picked up my first zs 180 at the weekend was sad to see my 120 go but have to say the 180 makes me smile every time I put my foot down and in most aspects I've noticed it's better holds the road perfecty No matter what I put it through :-)

Trust me mate....they have a limit lol.

Get decent tyres on it, and have your wheels laser aligned, that REALLY sets them on fire. Gives you more confidence pushing them too. Also, you'll find the rear will let go before the front end on these...well that was the case with mine anyway.

I've had the wheels laser aligned yesterday. Found something bad about the car tho the fuel economy lol what kind of rev range do I need to be changing for decent fuel economy ?

lol I still have to find it... but then she does get it from time to time esp with the induction and decat ss exhaust. im getting about 28mpg at the min.

Have to day, I'm looking forward to getting into my second 180, even if it is a mk1 over my previous mk2.
Will be a fun drive from Leighton Buzzard to Perth!

Under 3000rpm so the vis doesn't kick in IIRC. Did this for a tank and got about 32-33 mpg.
