i'll have a new bike my next ride

Post by jefflthomas »

i'm about 42 kilometers from my speedo turning over to 00000.0

coincidentally i've recently gone over everything...new brakes & tires...

& when i changed the plugs there was some oil on top of them so full tune-up when i change ALL cam cover rubbers shortly

it may be Hideous but it's been a good Barge!!!

Time to trade up to a low K 08 model, good luck finding one though.
"Hideous Barge" Maybe, but they create huge intrest were ever you go, so they must have something going for them.."Hideous Barge", I never!!! :lol:

Met a guy last week with an 08 like mine. He lives around the corner from me and has 93000km on his. He has been using it! :D Got 40k on mine. Hope to get 200k out of it.

i'd bet most blokes who ride ZRX's would buy a new one if those stupid cunts at Kawasaki would sell them one FFS!!!

slightly more horsepower & torque with an upgraded suspension & my chequebook would be jumping out of my pocket!...LOL
