Instigator...I dont know what book price is but I would have been dead happy paying that price for it. It looks great, the black suits it so well. A very under estimated bike you have there and with a 1000cc motor that is only just about loosening up. Get the tyres and suspension sorted to yourself and you will have miles of smiles!

Ok so tank range isn't brill but when is it ever on a Vee? Enjoy my friend!

4th bike from ebay

Only travelled from glasgow to hull this time!

The engine is lovely and it's actually a lot lighter than I thought it would be. Quite thing too, the zx6r is a whale compared to it. Headlight is diabolical but apart from that, I'm very happy with it.

The suspension and tyres at the moment are as good as I need, I have literally jsut finished removing the stickers off it, now it's jsut plain black. The red/purple fairing bolts will be replaced with standard black/silver ones and the iridium screen will be replaced with a tinted Db screen.

Stainless steel screws still to come.

Stickers only took an hour to remove with a hair dryer.

Remove the Number Plate...easy clone job.

And a ZX-6 too!!! or is it a 9?

Oh this just gets worse

Hey I've seen that art deco garage door before I'm sure!

17-12-05, 06:57 PM

There's always one that mentions the garage door. You come up and paint it!!

The ninja is a zx6r, tried to sell it but I know I'd only lose money on it. Going to try and keep it and add it to my insurance company. Nice bikes for a 'skint' student.

As much as I like the vtwin, I'd use the zx6r for the days when the weather is a bit cr*p or when I feel the need for red lining the engine (find it more satisfying on an IL4)
