Cheers, seems not much will surpass the might of the ZX1100

ZX 1200???

[yod]

what is the top speed of those things? heard lots of good stuff about them!

i've heard theyll do 240 2-up with a ventura pack on and 265 1-up

120hp (there are 135hp models out there tho)
200kg
21 litre tank - I can get 385km out of her
mines got 52000 MILES on it and still runs mint
I've replaced rear disc, chain and sprockets and the alternator drive is being recon'd as we speak
good sports machine and bloody good 2-up as well

Dude bang for buck--Try a 90-95 VFR750 -
you wont regret it

Bit too "retro"

What is your take on the RF & VTR vs ZX11 ?

[flame]

You'd probably be able to pick up a pretty tidy ZX9R for that money. And closer to a 2000 model too. Dam good all round bikes, with loads of power, well under rated bikes and I don't know why. Great for touring (300+kms on a tank), cruising, commuting, wheeling, or just going balls out! I knew of a mint 98 model going for 6500 a few months back with lots of after market bling and low kms. Could try and see if he's still wanting to sell it.

What ever ya buy. Good luck dude

Hmmm

One of these?


Looks good, but would have to have a "wrist test"

yep...the one in my sig and the one in my profile and you'll find shitloads in my attachments

[FROSTY:Me]

What she says. ^^^^^^^^^
The RF compares pretty well with the 1100kwakka in my opinion.
Do get it set up well and all will be good in your world.

trust me...it'll pass a "wrist test"

I ride with a guy on a C1 ZX9 and it embarasses the RF for pace

20 odd horse more and 20 odd kilos less

very quick bike

Yep, one of them. Ive owned a couple and regret selling my 1st one

If you get a chance to test ride one then go for it. I bet dealers are still asking minger dosh for them though. Private purchase would be much cheaper. Sold my 98 for $4000 but the kms were up there.

Pace wise....mine was clocked at the sprints flying 1/4 at 273KPH......not bad for an old nail eh , and still slowly ticking up on the speedo as we went through the beams.

[Morcs]

Yeah, the TL would have the grunt but the lack of fairings!!!!!!!! No offence, but they just look a bit odd.

Lower fairings dont cost much and look awesome too.

A bellypan looks good too. Should be ordering mine soon.

[Madness]

Having owned a ZX-11 for 4 years, I'm constantly looking at ZX-9's (and 12's). Owned many Suzuki's, since buying the 11 (first Kwaka) I'll not change colours in a hurry.

Have to pay of the Missus's dog-mobile first though (security on loan).

[Taz]

Maybe one of these......

I have the GS and love it.
114k is low mileage for one of these.

ahhh... Suzi... my first mounting a Suzi I got half way down the road before I realised it was in MPH and I was 60... I put the kwaka into submission I have a thirst for them...

Now that is nice, but the amount of time I spend telling my co-workers how many bmw's there are on the shore compared to west.... ....then theres the frequent comments on needing a corgi under your arm just to drink coffee at a café...

...I am fond of them though.... *sigh* nice find!
