Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

My first shakedown ride on what was Wardy's 2001 ZX9R, did the Dayboro, Mt Mee, Kilkoy, Somerset and Mt Glorious circuit on Monday. Lovely ride, for me the this bike has the right combination of power, handling and (for a sportsbike) comfort.

Ya gotta love the 9, especially E and F series, mines a C series but I still love it.

Welcome back Sean. Nice bike too!

Hey hey hey, he is back!

For good?


Anyway, they are a good compromise although aged.

Aged wash your mouth out with bourbon Thers many a nine out there that some modern bikes are lucky to see the tail light in the twisties

That's a great looking bike.
I especially like the colour.

I found out the other day that they don't handle 100kmh crosswinds very well though!

Unfortunately just for a month the plan is I will be back for good this time next year, the 9 does have a reputation as an old blokes sports bike...but if the sh@t fits wear it? Age and cunning with out do youth and skill anytime
