Introduction, upgraded bike

Hi, I'm not new to bikes, but new to my new bike.
Upgraded from the GPX250 to the Z1000.
I know it's a big step, was only looking at 750's, but the price and opportunity of the z1000 was too irresistible.
* Orange 2003 model
* ZX9R 4-1 exhaust system
* Corbin seat.
* A dynojet power commander, but not yet dynoed.
* Sub Throttle Disable - mapped
* K&N air filter with airbox mod
* Mirrors with LED indicators in them
* Brake light with LED indicators in them
Only use to commute to and from work, but can't wait for a nice sunny day to see what it can do

Welcom mate,
I like the choice
still a year off yet but been tossing up between the 750 and 1000 myself (ideas could change completely in a years time though).

Everyone told me to get a 1000, but I was only interested in the 750 because I didn't want too much power as it was only to commute to and from work.
But after taking the 1000 out for a proper ride, I'm glad I got the 1000 instead of the 750.
