Another hiatus from Kawasaki

Post by dilligaf »

After only owning Kwaka motorbikes, I picked up my Street Triple R this morning. Its a lovely thing to ride. Looked at a few other things but none of the Japanese bikes come close. Poor old Z750 is about 35kg heavier! Triumph forums look crap so I might keep posting here.
Hopefully Kawasaki will eventually base a 600 naked on the ZX6R frame.

If you were charged $1900 for a service, you've been ripped totally and should go to consumer affairs. Are you sure there was not additional parts or work above and beyond a normal service??? A major service for a 675 ranges from $450-750 depending on who does it.

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?
