Re: 2017 Kawasaki Z1000SX
... just don't see a lot of those types of bike in CA. I remember the local Triumph dealer telling me that they struggled to sell three Sprints in one year, but were obliged to 'carry' them. Nearly everything here is either a cruiser, or a sportbike...there's not much middle ground.

Re: Kwacky's biking plans
The zx6r has a slipper as standard, the SX doesn't (although I think the 2017 one does)
I sent a couple of emails off yesterday making initial enquiries. One company said they would get back to me, the other hasn't responded.

Re: Kwacky's biking plans
I don't do logic.
It's a nice bike and I'm tempted but I'm in no rush. Sales are slow this time of year and will be for a 2 or 3 months so I can wait to see what else comes up.

But all through my teenage years I did lots of cycling, and the year prior to joining the Air Force I wa doing 300-400 km a week. Then the first week of recruit course we had ...

Re: Kwacky's biking plans
I suppose I was looking a year or 2 ago now but still, the bike is unchanged besides paintwork..
My local dealer had them in for £7990 on 0%. Only in white though which was the downside

Re: Kwacky's biking plans
Kawasaki Direct will be doing some deals later this year, currently it's £8799 on 0% for the KRT. I've not see one advertised for less that 8.5k and I've looked, a lot!

Re: Kwacky's biking plans
Cheapest I've seen the KRT brand new on the road is £8,700.
There are used 2016 zx6rs going for more than £8k.
But I'm in no rush so I'm happy to wait to see if there are further deals in the new year.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Sun reflection is a pain at this time of year, even with a sun visor on. It can be very distracting. Your levels of concentration have to be 100% because you've got very little time to react to something if its on the road.

Re: What you watching?
Hmmmmm....given the time of year I guess it's no surprise....the hilarious Ben Affleck comedy film "Pearl Harbor" is on the TV at the moment.
It's a yawn-fest of truly epic proportions, which is a good thing, as I think I'm ready for my post 2nd breakfast nap.
