Title: So, how many of you still own a Ninja ?
Post by: ash on May 22, 2018, 10:11:23 AM
I've got a couple, and they are still great bikes IMO

I acquired Ninja Al's J1 18 months ago, and use it as a daily runner, hope to do some track days on it at some point when my frozen shoulder settles down... it was in a bit of a sad state, but got it up together after a few weeks of fettling, New battery, stripped and refurbished the calipers/new pads etc,  Did the valve clearances and major service stuff, stuck new tyres on it, Powder coated the wheels, retrofitted projectors

Still got my B1H, Done a lot of mods to it, always work in progress.

Nope. They seriously lost their way after the B1/2 6 and 05 10R.

I've been thinking about getting a 2016 zx10r, although it might be a bit much as a daily.

No ninja anymore.  :(

After 5 zx6r's and 1 zx10 I decided I had itched the sports bike itch and wanted a naked. Kawasaki are way behind in the sports naked department and so I had to take my money elsewhere (bmw). I would get another kawasaki if they brought out a naked as good as the s1000r though.

Afraid so, couldn't justify keeping it as i wasn't riding it. It looked great but it really did feel 13 years old, was leaking everywhere and i needed a new car - being grown up sometimes sucks

I haven't had a Kawasaki since my Z750 and I parted company on Regents Street 6 years ago, after an American pedestrian decided traffic lights and paying attention were for locals only.  :(

I had that for about 2 years after my last Ninja ('05 ZX-6R C1) was stolen. Well, most of it was...  :shocked:

Went back to a ninja after selling my 675R, had a ZX6R A1P for 10 yrs, then got the Triumph. 4 years of that wonderful machine when I had to sell due to lack of work, managed to scrape funds together a few months later and got myself a 7R, which I love, next newer bike will be the 30th anniversary 10R, well unless Triumph bring out a Daytona 765R, but will always keep my green 7R, love it too much, frigging heavy though.

Last Kwak was a 2012 Z1000SX sold in 2014 to put towards future retirement house in Spain and now have recently bought a 2015 Triumph Street Triple RS to return to biking.
