Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

For the first couple of rides I thought i would have no trouble with the break in period..but I am already finding it hard to stay at or under the suggested 4 thou rev limit!

It would be nice to remove the rear fender but I am a little hesitant after reading that most fender eliminators are illegal ...

Thanks all..yes she is a lovely looking machine for sure..and I don't think they come much "blacker".. I was a bit tempted by the new orange colour scheme but although its appealing I'm not sure I would want to live with it. new_rainfro.gif I do like the polished rims that they have on the prior ...

I think it has only been a few months since RR has been under new management. smileinbox.gif

I took my last bike to RR back in about 2005 and had no complaints.. this time around I was very impressed with everyone I delt with. :supz:
Also the very pretty young lady in the accessories area was ...

I am only new too the forum.I have returned to riding after a few years away and taking it nice and easy on the new 2012 z1000.

Thanks..

Yes Ronnie and Brad from RR were super helpful to deal with.

I shopped around..so I know I got the best deal possible on a new zed.

Brad even dropped the bike off for me (and filled the tank) .not a standard service.

They may be incorporating a bike pick up and drop off service at some ...

Thanks chaps..new bike is now in my possession ..I got to take it for a 5 minute spin just before dark and impending rain this evening. Its been a few years since I last rode so I intend to show this machine respect..take it slow and steady.. and get my skill level up to par.. while enjoying my new ...

After a lot of looking I am soon to be the proud new owner of a 2012 z1000

Mid next week should see me back on a bike after a few years absence.

looking forward to becoming part of the forum and I'll try not to ask too many "dumb ass" qustions..although in all probablity there will be a few as my ...

Yes a 335 is worth a fair wack..

Still hanging on to my 75 strat my Jimmy page les paul and a few others I will never part with..

Had to sus out what the insurance was guna be for the z..quite a bit more than the cb1300 which I guess makes sense and pretty much a must I think..

In the process of ...

After talking to my local dealer (Race Replica Kawasaki).. they have offered me a deal I cant knock back (seems I picked a good time to shop for Kawasaki's) ...so..within a week or 2 I will be the the proud owner of a blacker than black 2012 brand spanking new z1000 !!

I am still on the hunt.

Luckily I really enjoy this part of the buying process and have time to do go through all the ins and outs....because.. it seems bike hunting is a tricky business.(if your a fussy F**K like me). The prices are all over the shop even at dealers..some dealers have some models ...

I found a nice z1000 to have a sit on..and after looking around at some other options (the bike was at a suzuki dealers) I still want the z1000. It will pretty much just be a matter of finding one at the right price.

Its was lovely to sit on ..I felt right at home and was surprised how lite it ...

Thanks for the replies so far. Good to see this forum is very lively ( I went on the cb1300 forum and it seems a tad slow i think because there just isnt a great deal of them around)
A "happening" forum with enthusiastic owners is another good reason to by another z bike.

I called into my local ...

I have the bug after not owning a bike for a few years. I have narrowed my choice down to two bikes I really like.
One is of course the new z1000 the second is the Honda cb 1300. Two different bikes but both with a lot of charm.The honda has old school looks is a cheaper to buy but on the other ...
