Second fastest zx9 on zx-9r.net

*That went to bruntingthorpe with ride mag*


Is owned by me & tris
Ride magazine invited us lot from zx-9r.net to come to bruntingthorpe today for abit of a play and to do a magazine article, i had to work so Tris took the 9.
Ben the features editor took each one of the 9's for a blat in turn, ours was second fastest at a PROVEN 171.1mph , not bad for a standard (except for full akrapovich race sytem-no dynojet etc and standard filter) 9 year old bike
Beaten by a 04 F zx9 which was only 0.03mph faster .
Tris is grinning from ear to ear now and im pretty pleased to, article will be on next months Ride mag.

Cool! Love the ZX9s espescially the B1 version.

Many moons ago I was a pillion on one at approx 165mph on th A3!

Nice, gotta be a good thing to use when you come to sell it, a fast bike is a well running well maintained bike.

The C and E models are far nicer bikes to own and ride. The B was always a lot heavier and slower to steer than anything else in its class at the time. Brilliant mile munchers though.

Before I had my Gixer Thou I owned a W plate red ZX9R C2, the same as Tris's with an Ohlins and Quill can etc. It was a really nice clean bike and it would show 185 on the clock (probably about 165ish true speed.), but I just coudn't get on with it on long distances so I bought the Gixer. My housemate has owned a blue ZX9R E1 for the last 3 years and she loves it to bits.

What I like about them is they are so effortlessly quick.Top gear roll on gives warp speed before you know it.

Correction:
Ben from ride has posted up tht ours was thae FASTEST of theday, reading was actually 171.7mph.
