Kawasaki 2009 Z1000?

*cough* one wonders whether in light of recent events the OP might be doing his riding by himself for a while...

That is probable, now that you mention it.

Sigh. I know that I don't like bikes with only one headlight when they're dipped, and meagre range, no main stand, and mirrors that only reveal one's elbows, neither am I fond nor desirous of bleeding piles, but shit this Z is gorgeous.

....it is indeed, theres an 08' on TM for $7500, but alas, its a big swing in the opposite direction from your previous bikes.
Could be a good thing?

Could be a good thing?

... given that in that last bin vs truck, if it'd just been our man Hitcher on a Z1000, the outcome would've probably just been a gentle stoppie several meters short of harm, yes... yes, I think it could be a good thing.

Rode the 1000SX the other day. The ride was far too short but the engine was just lovely...Also love the paint and finish.

Ask mr ted, he had one for a bit. I've given these a bit of a consider meself......

The original Z1000 remains the only bike I've ever wheelied off the throttle entirely by accident.

Street Triple.......

He may not have had a passenger ...and/or traveling as slow.

For fuck's sake, stop with the conjecture already and send him money so he can buy it!

I'm not getting anywhere near him until his "Woodyness" dies down ...

Last night I dreamt about a Z1000. How bad is that?

Depends what colour the bike in your dream was...

Whatever it was at the start it sounds like it ended up white.......

[FJRider]

At his age ... more likely one of the fifty shades of grey.

But as long as it doesn't mark the paint (and is easily washed off) ... who cares ...

You guys are uncanny at times

It is expected ...
