lets count 'em up shall we ??
Initial post - 24th April at 3.24pm.
1st BUMP - 24th April at 8.39pm. Barely 5 hours later....
2nd BUMP - 25th April at 6.23 pm. Less than 24 hours later...
3rd BUMP - 26th April at 1.26pm. Again, less than 24 hours later.....
4th BUMP - 26th April at 5.27pm. about 4 hours after the previous bump....
5th BUMP - 27th April at 7.45pm. A little over 24 hours after the previous bump....
6th BUMP - 30th April at 3.21pm. Less than 72 hours since the previous bump....a slight improvement...
7th BUMP - 4th May at 12.28pm. Well over 72 hours since last official 'bump'......a bigger improvement....
8th BUMP - 4th May at 2.54pm. Less than 3 hours after previous bump. Slipping back to old habits....
9th BUMP - 12 May at 4.03pm. Over a week since previous bump !! Big improvement.....
10th BUMP - 15 May at 9.53am. Less than 72 hours after previous bump...
11th BUMP - 20 May at 11.19am. Almost a week since previous bump. Starting to improve on bump regularity....
12th BUMP - 23 May at 8.40pm. Only a bit over 72 hours since last bump....slipping back to old habits...
13th BUMP - 30 May at 6.39pm. Back to a full week, although this bump is an unoffical bump, as you didn't actually say 'BUMP' in your post....
14th BUMP - 4 June at 10.36am. Less than a week since last unoffical bump, this bump also unofficial as once again you refrained from using the word 'BUMP' in your post. But its the thought that counts.....
15th and all subsequent BUMPS - Any of the ongoing bullshit from about the 9th June onwards.
If that isn't bumping up your bike on a regular basis, well I would hate to see what is....
Deni - Good luck in selling your bike. Its the middle of winter mate, not a good time to be selling bikes. This is not Strika's fault either, its just the pattern of the seasons.
In less than 6 months time, your bike will be a model that is considered a 3 year-old model, regardless of how old it *actually* is. Its a 2005 model. In 2008, that makes it 3 years old. This is probably why your initial asking price was deemed a little extravagant by others in this forum who have experience in the actual industry of bike sales.....
The market will determine how much your bike is worth. At the moment, in the middle of winter, 2nd hand bike sales are a bit slow. If you hang off until spring, your chances of getting over 11 grand for what in the buyers eyes will be a 3 y.o bike in less than a few months after purchase is SFA.
PS - Kawasaki HQ Australia is in SYDNEY spell it S-Y-D-N-E-Y, and has been for quite a number of years now, in fact since 1986 when it moved from Melbourne to Sydney. It sure as hell isn't in Queensland....

where did you get the impression that the HQ is in Qld ??? thats just weird

......
btw, the first Aussie write-up on the '05 model ZX6R was in AMCN Vol 54 # 5, Sept 10-23 2004. I can photocopy the article and post it to you if you need stigmata.......
Good luck selling your bike mate, and as Phil has rightly pointed out, this thread is looking good for a nomination for the coveted '2007 Thread Of The Year' title.....
Peace & Love To All
