Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

for those of you that dont know, i wrote my honda cbr600rr 07 model off just over 1 month ago.
i have full insurance and there policy is 2 year new for old (swann).

now the assessors have looked at it and written it off, so im up for a new bike as a replacment. i told them kawasaki zx6r is my choice, they got back to me and under the policy its new for old of the same bike and apoligised for the situation but they cannot make an exemption, they offered me $13000 (thats less the excess )cash to go and buy a kwaka or a 2009 cbr600rr.

now my problem is i want a kwaka . so im seriously comtemplating thking the 13large and looking for an earlier model zx6 and poketing the rest and banking it as im currently TRYING to save for a house .

either that or look for a z750 as they have tickled my fancy for a while now, but i do like the 6's so i have a little problem lolz.

any suggestions or pointers in this matter

cheers Tim

Come over tomorrow and give me 13k for my 6 ride away ......

Mine is the MY09 with a Dec 08 build date. I think the only difference between the 07/08 and 09 is the colour scheme.

I did have a 600, the 06 Suzuki GSXR600. A very different bike. I've got Hypes 04 CBR600rr for the track now so I have the best of both worlds I get to enjoy the instant "grunt" of the Zed and I can still have some sportsbike fun. For me the Zed is a bike I can do long distances on without the 'pain' of the sportsbike. I havent had a chance to "push" it yet but with Superbike School in 1.5weeks I'll have a good chance to then!

Be prepared, if you want one make sure you save a few bucks and see Zeno to get the suspension done or you'll be riding a pogo stick. Oh, and you'll need an aftermarket pipe

Have a test ride of the Zed and you'll fall in love. Alto's at Chatswood are pretty forthcomming with test rides but chat to Aitkens for purchasing - they do a good deal!

+1 to ali600
Go the zed and you'll not regret it...

try flywheels at alexandria, good service and they treat me well...

In short, zed, value for money and good fun to ride... just cant wipe off the the smile in me.....

cool will be looking into the zeddy more now what year did they start the green colour
oh i will probably be looking second hand so if anyone goes past a bike shop and sees one give us a hollar so i can give it a gander
cheers for the advice guys n girls hehe

+1 the zedz great

+1 zed too, plus mine is for sale, but mine is z1000, plus what you would get/save on mine would also leave you a nice pocket full of change!

she is a bargain mate!

i think you will be a little dissapointed in the Z750 after a 600 supersport.

the thou would be better.

he never road the 600 supersport
