Hmm yes I agree... but its 10 months till my blacks...
But I was planning on trading it in ASAP when I was off restrictions, so I might just leave it, get my Car P's and wait.
Zx6 sounds nice...
But 10 months without a bike.. :S I dunno.

Also put a question out on findapart.com.auyou might be plesantly surprised.

I think a GPX engine should fit in as well as they are both the same engine.
Check
http://www.motorcycledisposals.com.au .
They usually have some wrecked ZZR's and GPX's.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.

Starved of oil indeed...
Due to my lack of responisiblity for not checking the oil, and a small leak, she was down to 50ml's when she packed it in.

thats a bit low..............mind you, I have let the oil level drop to <1 litre on the Pearl sometimes.......
.........she just gets a bit 'tappety' up top, and that's the reminder to change the oil.......(4 litre capacity with filter change, its the same as a V8 !!
)
