It justs looks old and dated . I have had several Donzis in the past and always will appreciate them, but, this particular model just doesn't do it for me. And, I would put Phils new 700 Glad up against the new 700 Zr any time of the week. Anyhow, I have always said, buy what YOU like. Either way, you can't go wrong.

As for Phil's new 700, I would like to run him with my old (2003) Comp. It might be faster in a flat out drag race, but let's do a nice run say Miami to Islamirada in Feb:rolleyes: and see who wins!:drink:

I don't think this is true with these models. I see a lot of gladiators priced at or below the ZRC's. Course a couple of the ZRC's I've been interested in over the last 2 years are still for sale.

Maybe it's numbers but you can buy a gladiator cheaper than a ZRC at least based on asking prices.

Plus with the Cigs you get the "free spin" possibility everytime you drive it! :angry-smiley-038:
