Thinking of selling already...
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. |

Re: Thinking of selling already...
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

Re: Thinking of selling already...
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.

I wish everyone would stop getting new bikes!!!
I'm getting really jealous, I've had my SV for 2 years. |

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!
