    Personally wouldn't buy a kawasaki myself cos i'm a honda man but they do look pretty sexy!
    I'd be more inclined to wait till they bring out the EFi bikes too but hey i'm a cheap arse that can't afford new bikes every year haha. Although I've already had three this year.

    Glad to hear the bike has been inproved since last years model too cos it'd make it a more worthwhile purchase. Lucky man buying new~

    Naaaiice!

    What was the reliability like on the 08?

    I was steered away from a KXF towards a KTM by a Kawasaki/KTM dealer

    But they do look good.

    Well i can't speak for all 08's but i had a good run with mine,though im not what you'd call an expert rider.I'd done 70 hrs,had the fork seals done once,waterpump seals at 65 hrs and the valves re shimmed at about 30hrs........thats it
