New Z1000!

[Krusti]

Gotta get me one of these.....has to be orange too!

[cowpoos]

The B-KING will be out soon also.....have you seen them?

[meon3]

I cant wait for you to get the new zed Krusti! Cause that means I get the old one!!! hehe:

[Grumpy]

I've been looking forward to seeing one in the flesh but they seem to be taking forever getting them here. Sounds like they've improved on the areas that they are lacking on the old model. Love those brakes.

No no no....... he buys the new one (for you)......... and you get to ride her..
Krusti, on the other hand gets to keep on riding his old bike....

They look the biz alright. Any ideas on price yet.
I think the B-King is OTT.

[meon3]

I couldn't do that to him crashe, He sold his only new bike he'd ever had to get my trike built for me so he deserves to have a new one. Any way it dosen't mean I wont be riding it sometimes lol.
I just have to decide if I keep the trike or sell it as it is not getting used now.

If you're thinking about selling it a KBer who goes by the name Inlinefour could well be interested... there was a murmour a few weeks ago about him looking to get himself a trike.

Ooo, and that Z1000 looks quite nice! Not too sure about the can though.

[meon3]

Thanks for that Deviant Esq. It may have to go. Krusti is at bike shop now ordering his new one. They are meant to be arriving in 30 days.

[meon3]

Oops I forgot the TL will go before the trike! Can't have him having two bikes and me only one.!!

[crashe]

Yep send a pm to Inlinefour (John) as he is going to be getting a trike when he is able to and when he is back in the naki again.

Z1000s are legend. Will be a bunch of people in years to come still treasuring them because of the attitude the bike has. The new Z750 is pretty damn sexy too.

spd:-)

They tell me will be here within 30 days...dep paid...ordered.

Told them ....has to be ORANGE!

$15,995. Dollar is pretty good at the moment. A lot of bike for the money me thinks.

I thought they would be around the 18 mark so was very surprised. I suspect this price is good news for some one looking for a good priced run out special when the new model arrives.

[Krusti]

Had a look at an orange second hand zx10 for the same money but after riding the TLR I have realised that the riding position does not suit me with all the steel in my upper back!

Have thought about other bikes but every time I get back on the Zed I feel so comfy.

I can ride the zed way faster than the TLR and it always leaves me with a smile on my dial.

According to the specs the new Zed has the same power as my present one with the full race Devil system and Power Commander.

Only other option for me would have been a Super Duke but at $6000 more I don't believe it would make me any happier. Having said that my mate who has one says his KTM would rank as the most fun bike he has ever owned and he has had a few!

NZ, I have been told is only getting the black or orange models, not the ocean blue. Not sure if any of the ABS models will arrive. On the UK site they are listed at 7300 pound.
