    Yes but what's the price tag?
    Age is too high a price to pay for maturity

    Sigh. There's always one, isn't there...

    ANZA in Palmerston North will probably sell you my old one for $8,500.

    I've ridden all the big nakeds and they're all are good - torquey, comfy, reasonable handling, etc., but I chose a GSX1200 because it felt the smallest and most agile which tipped the balance for me. Moral of the story - ride them all and decide for yourself.

    You know, Palmerston North and all that. Go figure...

    It's comparatively high mileage -- 46,000km on a 2002 model. But has near new Z6s, a Neptune can, Scottoiler, and has been regularly and devoutly serviced by the best Kawasaki mechanics money can buy. I guess big nekkids aren't everybody's cup of tea.

    The GSX is I think about 10 kg lighter than the XJR, and certainly feels a bit more agile. But the difference is relatively small. One other advantage of the GSX is a sweeter gearbox. I never had a false neutral on the GSX, unlike the XJR.
    The GSX has a devoted following in Europe, especially Italy and France - it is sold under the name Inazuma.
