Hiya,
IIRC there's a few ZX9R owners on here (Bear, Sid Squid?) - I'm considering changing the SV and a 2002-ish ZX9R seems like it's pretty much in the same sort of price range that I can expect to get for the SV, but I just wondered what to expect in moving from the SV.
Obviously there's a lot more power, and from the few articles I've found online so far I expect it to be a bit less nimble than the SV, so should I maybe consider a 636 (the A1P i think?) of the same age instead - bearing in mind I haven't ridden a SS600, is the 9 going to be a 'beast' for someone with only 5 years riding under their belt?
I suppose really I'm just generally interested in what people's experiences are who've had both bikes (or the 636 as well). Any comparisons in terms of reliability / cost of DIY servicing etc would be ideal too so I can work out whether I can afford to change!
Ta muchly
