Am thinking of getting rid of the Z1000. Maybe even this year......

They are just far too common these days!

Seriously, I LOVE the look of it but when ridden hard they can seem a little wobbly (the windblast at 160 is interesting). I have been riding my Hornet more for fun lately and I feel that as a naked that bike is probably almost as good. Okay it's lacking midrange and top end on the Zed but it's still heaps of fun! So I ask myself why do I need 2 naked bikes? So I have had a look about and think I will go for a ZX-6R next, the 2006 model. Might be this year maybe next, I miss that feeling from a supersports.

How many bikes have you had in how many years? Plus didn't you get rid of your SV because of the riding position?

But the SV is just not committed enough of a sports bike to put you off sports bikes for the position. Plus you'll have the Hornet for commuting so I say Do it! I knew you didn't get a green helmet for a reason

So a ZX-6R isnt common?

I thought you talked about a ZX-10R a while back?

I love Ninja's always have and always will, as long as they are still mad bikes. I think the ZX10 would be a little too expensive, both cost wise and insurance wise for me just yet. I got rid of the SV because I was commuting on it and it was uncomfortable. I have the Hornet for commuting now so it doesn't have to be so comfy. Besides, the SV was not quite a SS600! The Zed is one of the prettiest bikes around and that's why I bought it (plus the fact that I pretty much knew I could make some money from it) but now I want the mad performance of a modern SuperSportsbike again plus the fairing to keep the wind away! Going to look at a lovely '06 Ninja this week.

OKay, well just had a talk with the boss (wife) and have decided to keep the Zed for this year and sell it on next year. So it's safe for now!
