Black's is that the place in Ormskirt/Southport :?: Had some stuff of them in the past good service but slightly exspensive.

As an x zxr 750 R thrasher, and avid luster for a '12- I can only say that you will not be disapointed in the twin- I even travelled 5hrs to go get mine all those years ago- ok you miss the out and out top end rush, but its sooo easy to adapt to the gentler thrust ( not that it slows you down on any road that has the slightst turns on it)- Surprised that the rest of you have not oppened that can of worms yet on Teal being the slowest colour :Argue:
Price thing is always an issue when you still have one to get rid off- best to look at how much its going to cost you to change rather than the top line costs!

We Guys its like this great forum but the Kawasaki won :D I tried but was tempted by the ninja dark side :twisted:
Its a 2000 ZX9r in the predicable green :mrgreen:
After alot of deep thinking I don't think I would have been truly happy with the twin and the dealer would not budge over the asking price of the VTR :( (bet he,a still trying to sell it by the autumn) So if you allow it I will post pics sometime soon when it's stopped raining :x

Congratulations Rick in getting yourself sorted with a bike, even it wasn't a Firestorm in the end.
Not quite a ZX12R either :wink: but still an inline four Kawasaki none the less.

Someone on here reckons the ZX9R is meant to be really good on fuel :?: so you'll have to lets us know what yours is like once you've had time to find out.

By all means post up a photo or two, it would be good to see what you've bought :thumbup:

Chris.
