Title: A Kawasaki owner again
Post by: Manic636 on April 03, 2016, 05:19:06 AM
It's been a couple of years since my B1 went and I've been without a Kawasaki but as of yesterday I have had the joy of adding a Kawasaki back into my garage.. Some of you know I've been really keen on the Z1000SX for a while (years really) and I have been test riding something for more comfort for long distances since last year at least. Well a little devil  :evil: just gave me a bit of a push and in very short order I managed to find a 14MY bike with Kawasaki warranty remaining that was just about within my budget

(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/Manic636/Mobile%20Uploads/received_10208022328028496.jpeg) (http://s730.photobucket.com/user/Manic636/media/Mobile%20Uploads/received_10208022328028496.jpeg.html)

Goes well, stops well, has traction control and ABS, is comfortable and looks great in Black. Different to ride in so many ways from the FightR and a great stablemate, so now I've just got to find enough opportunities to put miles on both bikes....

How dare you put a picture of a Kawasaki on this forum...if only I had the ban buttons.





Looks okay I suppose.  ;)

Nice bike, I test rode one when I changed bikes last year, but then made the mistake of test riding the BMW S1000R.

And buying a Red slow version was your second mistake.  ;)

My dad picked up one of those in green last autumn, I've had a go on one myself and quite liked them. Just not in my budget.

Happy riding!

Bike magazine had one on long term test when they came out and made a lot of changes. Can dig out the article and scan it if you are interested.

Niiiice! You know I really rated the one I hired a couple of years ago. Such a flexible engine and great all-round bike. Now I'm regretting not hiring one again this year.  :evil:

Yeah that's right encourage me to spend more money on it ...it's not like my eBay watch list isn't full of stuff for this and my FightR already lol...



Oh go on then, thanks Dom
