1999 ZXR1100. Test rode a VTR1000 and an RF900 - both awesome but just a bit uncomfortable for this aged body.. The REX seemed most comfy and the most mint (and has Road pilot 3's! yippeee)

That's nice! Reminiscent of the Z1R from the 1980s

haha thanks Pete..

I went and took an RF for a ride before I brought that one.. I found the seating position a bit cramped for me.. the ole athritic hips couldnt handle it, so its just as well I didnt go ahead..

I really appreciate your time though.

Anytime mate. Hope you have a great run with the Kawasaki. As an ex Z1R owner, I like your choice!

I tried riding the one on the left, but ended up rupturing myself..
