Here's a review: http://www.motobke.co.uk/ go to the bikes section and look for Kawasaki Z750S (2006)

Here's a list of mods:

Ohlins Rear Shock
Traxxion Dynamics Constant rate fork springs
Micron Muffler and link pipe
DNA Air Filter
Oggy Knob Crash Bungs
Braided Brake Lines
Oxford Race Stand Spools
Ventura Pack Rack System (L Brackets Only)
Ventura Headlight protector
Stebel Nautilus Horn (all bikes should come with one as standard)
'04 ZX-6R Rear Hugger, slightly modified
Metal Gear front brake discs (because I somehow warped the front left stock disc)
Strip of rubber beneath the instrument cluster to kill the vibration noise from there
Piece of rubber to protect the shock from road muck.

Original shock and muffler supplied with the bike.

Avon Viper tyres are both near new.

My wife deserves a new bathroom, and one of you lot deserves a bike that is better than you'd guess.

I've looked after this bike like a child and I expect whoever buys it to continue in the same vein.

The price is negotiable to a point, but I think it is fair given that it is one owner, garaged, pampered, serviced, and tastefully modified for better overall performance.

WOF due December 23rd, so I'll get that sorted as part of the sale. Rego runs until the end of March 2008.

No bites and it goes on Tardeme.

[MidnightMike]

Damn.

These look like mint bikes.

I dont know why they seem to be so cheap though, especially one with as many extras as this.

Beautiful bikes though, this is one of my considered options for a full licence bike.

One more thing, you might want to change the 'triple' up the top, since its an IL4.

[Paul in NZ]

I've ridden this bike - it's bloody AWESOME and Jim has really looked after it and improved it beyond belief - $8500? Hes GIVING it away... Swoop on this before he comes to his senses...

[Coyote]

Me wanty

18 soon, eligible for loans soon

[skelstar]

Damn good price Jim2. Very sharp. Good luck with the sale.

[DMNTD]

WTF???? :eek5: A crazy good deal for someone!!

[MrMelon]

Yeah great price, would have been just what I was looking for if it wasn't the S model! :)

Good luck with the sale.

[James Deuce]

What's wrong with the S model?

[MrMelon]

I find the front of them hideous to look at compared to the z750. That's the only issue I've got with them. They sound like a great bike otherwise.

[MSTRS]

What's wrong with the S model?

Some people think a pipe'n'Slipper model makes their penis small??

[James Deuce]

I find the front of them hideous to look at compared to the z750. That's the only issue I've got with them. They sound like a great bike otherwise.

Thanks for pointing that out in my "I'm selling my bike thread".

[MrMelon]

Sorry! I'm sure not everyone's as superficial as I am.

It's a great price, someone will be sure to snap it up.

[limbimtimwim]

I've ridden this particular bike.

It's good fun.

[jrandom]

I'm shocked that nobody has made the obligatory dig about chicken strips coming with dipping sauce yet.

Could be because James Deuce is actually quite a sharp rider with very respectable-looking tyres, of course.

;)

[limbimtimwim]

That'd be a good bike for you Mr Random.

[SPman]

And at the price with the mods done, a bloody steal!!!
For a very competent, real road weapon.

[James Deuce]

That'd be a good bike for you Mr Random.

See MrMelon's post and swap MrMelon for Jrandom (See MrMelon, I do have a sense of humour! :) )

[Str8 Jacket]

Nice bike Mr J2! It looks mint! Not the RG or the price of an RG that im looking for, but best of luck with the sale!

[jrandom]

That'd be a good bike for you Mr Random.

Yes, unfortunately the aesthetics get in the way for me. We all, I'm sure you will agree, have our very personal and entirely irrational views on how we want the bike we ride to look.

Jim's Zed is, though, a very fine motorcycle at a ridiculously good price.

[Hitcher]

I too have ridden this bike. It is phenomenally good fun to ride and probably a way better bike (thanks to Jim's mods) than Mr Kawasaki ever had in mind.

[Swoop]

$8500?? Surely this is the deposit?

Are you MAD? A bloody bargain with all those mods.

This bathroom MUST be important.

[James Deuce]

Going on Trademe tonight.

As a classified @ $8.5k ono to start with.

[James Deuce]

On Trademe now.

[riffer]

Why are you selling Jim?

Upgrade time? Surely the Katana's not so good that you only need that bike...

[James Deuce]

No I'm not upgrading and the 400 will do for now.

[EJK]

omfg thats my fav bike.
Damn, only if I had $8,500....

No bites

I may put the original shock and pipe back on and sell the aftermarket gear on Trademe.

I'll leave the good fruit on for KBers, but the reality is I'll get the same with the stock stuff still onboard.

I'd really like a KBer to buy it folks.

[crazefox]

Far out mate great price.Will the shock fit my 1000?

[James Deuce]

Probably, but you'd need to talk to Robert Taylor to make sure it would and also get it resprung to suit you.

I have to come and see you - I've still got that can of stuff you lent me!

[crazefox]

Cool mate let me no if you want to sell it? who is robert taylor?

[James Deuce]

Cool mate let me no if you want to sell it? who is robert taylor?

Ohlins Distributor in NZ - He's on KB as, wait for it: Robert Taylor.

[crazefox]

Cool mate good luck with the sale.Someone is going to get a mint bike:beer:

[James Deuce]

I'm withdrawing the sale item. My apologies. Something's come up.

Edit: Actually the "something" that came "up" was the Breville waffle iron when Heather found out I was selling the Zed to fix the bathroom up.

Now I just have to seek out my betrayer......

[janno]

Wait 'til she's tired and grumpy then offer to sell one of the children. I'm sure she'd see sense. . .

[RantyDave]

I'm withdrawing the sale item.
Yeaaahhh!! The mighty Zed LIVES!

Edit: Actually the "something" that came "up" was the Breville waffle iron when Heather found out I was selling the Zed to fix the bathroom up.
With a loud "clonk" as it hit you under the jaw? That kinda thing?

Sounds like a good sort this Heather.

Why did she sell herself to raise the money to save you from selling the bike?

[Fatjim]

Thanks for pointing that out in my "I'm selling my bike thread".

Well you did bloody well ask!!




Now I just have to seek out my betrayer......
