According to the 2012 Model Listing the Nija does come in green again this year, different to the first one but still green.Benno wrote:My biggest issue with the Z1k - I can't seem to find the latest model in green!

Re: New Z1000 im temped..
Yeah, I did see that - but the only ones I can seem to find are black (which is ok) and orange (yuk!). If they had a green the same as the 11 model I could almost be tempted back to a kwak...

I owned a Z1000 08 model & a ZRX1200R @ the same time , the ZRX1200R always was faster "but" the Z1000 felt more aggressive & quicker seat of your pants even though it wasnt quicker than the ZRX . my opinion "dont sell the ZRX" for a Z1000 , you will regret it long term .

Re: New Z1000 im temped..
Oh now what to do?? I really like the Z1000 Ninja, but I realy love the ZRX, But I want a new bike. Im not racing anymore so I think I deserve a bit of spoiling. Plus this will be my last bike, im 55 this year, so my riding days are getting fewer & fewer, as I only like to ride on nice sunny days. So I want to give myself a retirment present, theres nothing wrong with that. But man its hard to take the leap..But If the ZRX doesnt sell Im not gonna cry about it, I love it & I'll keep it, & im not gonna trade it to a dealer that will give me pennys & sell it for thousands, the scabs.MIKER wrote:I owned a Z1000 08 model & a ZRX1200R @ the same time , the ZRX1200R always was faster "but" the Z1000 felt more aggressive & quicker seat of your pants even though it wasnt quicker than the ZRX . my opinion "dont sell the ZRX" for a Z1000 , you will regret it long term .

Steve, are you trying to use logic to make your decision - can I suggest you just do what you want - dont try and justify its man wrote:Oh now what to do??

I can see nothing wrong with your reasoning, all sound like perfect reasons to me. It is much the same as what I was going through when I was tossing up getting the forks, I had always wanted them - so I got them - some poo poo'd the idea............... I have to say I dont regret my decision one bit.
You want a new bike - you get one.
And make ZXR750 a happy man
