Haven't heard of any issues mate.
Only problem is that after you ride a z1000, there's no going back to the 750

Well, I have a Z1000. The nephew is a bit green (pardon the pun) and not confident for a 1000, his choice.

I haven't had any issues with mine at all, once it was setup for me. But I did buy one that already had a fair bit of suspension work done, so I'm not sure how a stock one rides. But yeah, no issues

Only temporarily!
I'll take Kwak back one day, I'm sure. The ZX10R is just a fling / a hot and spicy affair. The zeddy is more like a long-term relationship :lol:

By now I reckon a 2008 bike has taken a fair bit of depn. Youd always expect to lose a little but not as much as if you bought a new or 2 year old bike.

Bought my '08 (bog standard with under 3k km) for $6700 in Sep 2011.
I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..
