OK, what a weekend lol.

Saturday morning, me and my mate hit all the dealerships in parramatta and sat on everything with 2 wheels and a seat lol. We are both coming off P's soon. We did this for a few hours, checked out new bikes, gear etc as well. Got back noon-ish, a very nice man came and picked up my Balius (yes MONEY wooooo). Sad seeing my first bike drive down the road. BUT, the old has the make way for the new. Because my mate and I were still in bike mode, we decided to hit more dealers lol. We went to Castle Hill, Blacktown, Lane Cove then out city way. By now he had his favourites however I was still lamenting the fact I hadn't come across an 03/04 ZX-6r yet. BTW I sat on everything, and I mean EVERYTHING (ok maybe not cruisers) and found all bikes to be comfortable. I concluded that I have been blessed with long limbs (I can sit on the latest R6 and both feet touch the ground flat, with knee bend). My inspector gadget-esque arms mean I can sit pretty upright too with arms relaxed. w00t Anyway I sat on an 05 zx-6r, 07 zx-6r and preferred the 07. However in my heart I knew I wanted an 03/04.

So this morning, doing usual web searching...bam...04 zx-6r, only 5 mins away too. 12,000kms!!!, 1 owner, IN GREEN (omg WIN), full logbooks, absolutely bog stock = great, in great great condition owned by a mature guy.

I just went and saw it, and put a deposit on it.

Now just waiting for Tuesday to come around when she will be in my loving care!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOO EXCITED!!

He didn't look 'old', he was mature?....never know though I look like I'm 12 but I'm pretty mature lol.

Congrats on the new bike!

woooa no not quite...I do get my ID checked regularly though, weather it be Bunnings buying some spray paint, liquor stores etc. Even when my mate buys booze they check my ID cos they think my mate is supplying to a minor... WTH! Im 23 for goodness sakes...

Don't blame 'em though, if you guys saw me you'd think I'm some kid who stole his dad's bike and going for a joy ride lol

Looks good mate, nice pickup.

12,000k's in 5 to 6 years and with huge chicken strips like those I'd say it has never been ridden hard. Did you get to test ride it or did you buy it on sight? Looks very standard and pretty tidy from the pic. Right colour too.

12,000 k's Thats a nice pickup for the right price.

Congratulations on the new acquisition
