SkyJawa Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Traded my FZ6-N in today. Was my first bike, had since Aug to play about on with the idea that I'd trade up around now. Went and put a deposit on this baby today, pick up next week, can't wait!!! http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.ambrosen/ninja/silver.jpg :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 lovely bike....did you go for a silver one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 I did indeed - I love the colour - didn't want the green, specifically searched for silver and its really hard to find as only came in B2H model and they weren't around for long before the all new bike came along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Prefer Suzukis myself (GSXR) but that does look really smart. Glad you chose silver though, have never liked the green ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Very nice Neil I loved my ninja before it got written off Is it brand new?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Nice one lads - glad you approve James - no mate, its a March 2005 bike, last of the side exhaust ones before they changed to the C1H shape with the underseat exhaust (which also has one of the worst rear ends I've ever seen hence going for the earlier one!). It was a toss up between this and the R6 (more expensive too as you need a newer R6 to match specs, Kawasaki were a year ahead of Yamaha with things like upside down forks etc), but the ZX is the bike I've always loved so I've realised a dream by getting one Which model did you have?

Syed Shah Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Very very nice! Give us some riding impressions when you have it! Were you tempted by a 1l bike at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 1 litre bikes are way ott for a lot of riders, its funny when I went to germany how slow all the bikers were going. and my m8 on a KTM was leaving most of them around the corners. His R6 also trounced most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Mine was much older p/97 reg. But not bad for a first bike Looked like this http://www.cyberbikes.co.uk/Kwaka%20ZX6%202.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Not bad at all mate! My bro-in-law had a 98 I think, still wants another, he's got an SV650S at the mo, he's a bit jealous but glad I didn't get green coz thats what he'll have when he gets another! Re the 1l, I didn't even contemplate it LOL! I've only been properly riding since August so I figure a 1l would be far too much of a handful for someone like me (like a ZX won't LMAO!)

Syed Shah Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Ah, I see! A very good reason not to get one! Thought you may have been riding longer. Eirther way, enjoy and ride safe! Especially in the next week, supposed to be very cold weather over UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIL Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Sky I can confirm this is a top bit of kit. A mate of mine has one, we went over to France a short while ago and it was easily giving my `Dynojetted` Fireblade a run for its money. The ride, brakes and handing are superb! Plus it looks the nuts..... Top Choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
