Re: 2012 Orange Z1000
Orange isn't a popular colour. I bought one of my orange er6ns new in 09-it is an 06. Sat on the showroom floor for 3 years. Got 8 orange bikes here. Will be fun if I decide to sell them. 

2 X ZRX1200R 4 X ER6N, GT550, 1988 ZX-10, 4 X GPZ250R, 4 X GPZ900R and GPZ750R
Yeah I like Kawasakis.

I think Jetpilot bought one in this colour. Its my favourite and if I were in the market for a new bike this would be it. Congrats

Yep, Rod's is this colour and looks pretty slick I must say. His has the full "Carbon Col" range of performance mods including Full Akra system (4-1), Power Commander, FCE, mirrors, screen and seat. Seems to go quite well too

Re: 2012 Orange Z1000
Fair enough.
Nice bike by the way. I reckon the orange looks ok too, but given the choice I'd have to go green.
