S1000XR would be a sweet ride. I'm too short for that bike which is a bummer. For power a little more power/tq look into the ZZR1400. Great bike for touring.
37.8-39.4 waist is what Alpinestars size chart says. Are you interested I can get you a good price for mine. Let me know and I'll clean them up. I use pay pal.
I have a one. Size US40/Eur56. Worn once on a track day and maybe a few times after that for road use. I would say they were in excellent condition minus some old bug kills that weren't cleaned off since 2011. If you think they will fit send me a PM.
This was the first time I took corners aggressively on the bike. This video was taken last year.

And another. I felt comfortable on the bike and was really surprised how it handled on the road around corners for such a big heavy bike.
I was using PR4 tires...
Can't help you with the older model Zed. However the newer model, 2013 ZX-14R is awesome. I don't own my S1000RR anymore as I went down to one bike. The ZX-14R is all I have now.
This is what I used. You may have to call him as the link I have provided doesn't lead to the link. He may be able to make some on request.

I had these on my S1000RR. Easy to fit and look good. I actually had someone wave me to stop so they could verify that's what they were when I was at Snetterton.
