Value for money Z750 thrasher!

Well the first part of the EOY Review process has gone ok, the NAB made a record profit in 2006 and the bonus multiplier is 120% of your individual target (plus a free $1000 in NAB Shares)

.

...I'll find out the Mick-specific part of the process this coming week or so. As I may have mentioned in another thread it sounded like my boss' boss was setting everyone up to be disappointed. However, I've had another look at my review pre-Boss and it's pretty strong so if it's marked down it's purely personality and nothing else.

At the end of the day it's not ALL about money. My bonus for just doing an average job is looking pretty healthy, and at the end of the day anything extra is not cash, it's just a number of NAB Shares. It may be immature but I just want SOMEONE to acknowledge the fact I've done a bloody good job this year, and not try and fob me off or piss in my ear

.

...and I think I'd prefer a ZRX1200R to a Hornet, nothing like old-school

If Kawasaki didn't exist i'd be crawling over one of these...

Very tasty, just a bit expensive for what you get

Ride the ZRX1200r Mick you will love it. A little bigger than the z1000 but finished off better and seems to have more class. Dont be afraid of the size you will be suprised how well they handle.

Why would you say the ZRX1200 is more classy than the zed thou.
In my eyes the thou shits on the 12 in the looks department,that is unless you like the 80s retro look?I know the 12s go ok,but really not as classy as the thou IMHO.
And yes i may look like ghostrider,but he pinched the look from me.

Getting to the end game, final decision will be made tomorrow...

Due to circumstances beyond my control, the budget has been slashed and the Z1000 is now out of the picture (can't find one less than $14,200 on the road)

.

Due to the fact the NAB is a pack of slow bastards when servicing their own staff's finance re-arrangements, there are no Z750s within a two-hour ride of Woodend (in fact I can only find one in each colour out in Ferntree Gully). I can't be arsed riding to Ferntree Gully, work is farking mayhem, and I don't have the time

. I AM still waiting for a few stragglers to report in whether they have a Z750 or not, so if anyone knows if Brighton Kwakka have one on the floor let me know ASAP.

There is a ZRX1200R out in Shepparton Kawasaki, but it's a couple of hours the other way (and just as far back). There is another one in Cosways, but they shit me severely

.

So if no Z750 then it looks like the red 2006 Honda CB900F in Peter Stevens wins, I decided against the SV in the end...

Thanks all.

Macedon to Williamstown

Race Replica have a Z1000 ex demo they are wanting to get rid of, and a z750 too....

Up to you though, nothing wrong with a honda....

I live about 25-30km the other side of Macedon.

I rang them just now, they don't have a Z750, only a demo Z1000 and a new Z1000. The new Z1000 is $13,500. The demo is circa $15,000 in its current state. They were unwilling to quote me for the demo one return to its original state.
