Does your "use Rainbow" sign mean its a Ulyssess to be doing the Rainbow road or is that making a too big a connection? Big Dave selling his and going with Victory?

Lol, just tired from cycling 160km yesterday. Though when I was in Wellington he was getting a little over excited by the BMW F800R they had at Motomart.

Great deal for someone looking for a bike that handles well, has 100 HP and is 100% totally reliable.

Weighs less and has more power than the current model, and id perfectly capable of mild-mannered commuting or keeping the weekend warriors in sight.

Come on, peoples. If you want a great sport-tourer this is an awesome deal.
Extremely well looked after !!

As far as the new bike goes,...I love the smell of pushrods in the morning.... ;)

James Deuce
1st December 2009, 07:33
What pushrods?

Makes me cry seeing how low the price gets so quickly.

Yes, a very good bike. Will be keeping mine for a while, I reckon.

Definite bargain for anyone.

(
P.S. There's a complete PDF of the service manual of this bike available.

This bike is a peach and a steal at James' giveaway price.

Yes, it's a UJM but it's got all of the mods that make it an extremely practical and exceptional handling rider's bike. James has done everything to this that Mr Kawasaki's bean counters wouldn't let the engineers do to it in the factory.

And it's only just run in.

Absolute bargain here. Buy it quickly before someone else does !!

Will someone please buy this already so that I can come down and blag a ride on its replacement?

What that guy above said!

If none of you lovely folks want it, it's going on Trademe, and we all know what happens to bikes that go on Trademe.

Just to prove they aren't total pigs, check out the Kawasaki US advert. Mine goes better thanks to the suspension upgrades and better breathing than stock.

Everyone says they want a sportsbike. What you really want is something with broader capabilities and enough power to lose your license in 2nd, all the while laughing at your silly mates and their ginormous chiropractor bills.

Bump.

This is a slobbery Labrador of bike, 100% reliable and always willing, whatever you're up for.

Girl's Bike? If you want.
Tourer? Easy.
Hillclimber? If you don't buy it, it will be.

It's been nothing but a joy to own, rain or shine. Reliable transport or a fun, entertaining scratcher for those with nothing to prove.

Gets another 12 month warrant of fitness tomorrow and has 6 months rego to go.

You know you want to.

I'd much prefer a KBer to buy it. It would be a shame to see it go outside the "Family".

*Bump*

The Zed flew through the WoF this morning, so if you act quickly not only will you get the benefit of a year's worth of WoF, there's still one more year after that of 12 Month wof checks. Only one WoF to do until the end of 2011.

Could somebody please buy this bike. It's a bargain! In fact Mr Kawasaki should buy it and copy it -- it's a splendid example of how a Z750 should have been built.

Sold. Or rather, traded. Wellington Motorcycles for viewing. Speak to Pete. Tell him I sent you. Take Steinlager. Or Red Bull.

It's currently sitting in Wellington Motorcycles' showroom with a big "for sale" sign hanging on it. You won't find a better Z anywhere.

Ah, so it is (checking their website). Unfortunately, it's two grand more expensive than it was on here which kindof prices it out of my range.
