New bike

[VBN]

So between the toss up for the ZX12R and the ZX9R, the 9 won. Picked it up today, very pleased with it. Its an 02, E2 with 10k on the clock and very clean.

That looks lovely! Will you and your new toy be along to the meet in March?

Yeah sounds like a good idea, I was looking at the thread the other day. I'm in Newbury so the Reading meet up is ideal for me.

Cracking bike! Looks very tidy indeed.

Jealous

Don't be jealous, anyone get one its only cheap!

What made you for a 9 over the 12?

I have a ZX7R and it's a big bike!

The 12 just seemed like over kill for what I want, plus the terrible fuel and rear tyre shredding. The 9's are better priced imho and a similar 12 in mileage and age would have been about 4k.

actually its 60mpg to reserve,ive just never been brave enough to find out howmany more miles to completely empty,still a crap bike tho,the op has a much better machine imo,more comfortable and the fairings are much stronger,mines paper thin

Thanks! I think I did make the right choice. Although not having a fuel gauge is a bit rubbish, even my GSXR1000 K1 had one!

atleast you have a reserve switch(which will be hard to turn) .....

Yeah found that out 30 mins after picking the pickup whilst whoooling down the A31. Didn't manage to quite get to it in time before I had to pull over and look like a numpty!
