Ha. Thanks mate. You know, I've been a diehard HONDA man most of my life...that was until I started test riding Kwaka's looking for my next bike... Have to agree with you there. Although the green dont do it for me I'm afraid. I'm thinking about a ZX-R 9...I see that you own one. Tell me your honest and unbiased opinion of them.
Be interested in hearing what you have to say before i go buy one
