What I've read about the 1200 is that it handles very well with some massive poke. Should be a tad different to my divvy 600. 1200 will be good for when me and the missus go 2's up.

Yummy!
Only minor differences made on Tuesday
- Altered the angle of the plate - a temporary fix till I fork out on a new tail tidy and find some way of bending a piece of metal to the right angle.
- Sprayed the intake ducts gloss black. Again, a temporary job, as it's already starting to crack.
- Removed the grab handles from under the fairings. I don't plan on taking pillions for at least the first few months, so I don't need them, and they spoil the lines. No more!

Kawasaki's should be green, everyone knows that!
Plus, I win ten points because mine is green. I then lose five of them because it's not quite the right green, it's too pale. You can tell by looking at the wheels (particularly the front), and then the fairings. They suddenly look paler.

On your air ducts get some rubber style paint. There are all sorts of flexible paints that would probably not crack.
I wouldnt worry - Kawasaki change their shade of green regulalry. I personally love the much darker shade they have been using recently. Looks great with black decals/trim
My dads and mine Harley 883 Sportster, and my Suzuki TL1000R with Yoshi system + power box and ohlins all round
My dad has got a sportster as well(1200 Nightster) and I love riding it. Totally different animal from my zx6r and I wouldn't mind one myself
My zx6r and my dads 1200N
Rilot mate will get some pictures when I go out to garage next. I should've been more clear, it's an Ohlins rear shock, and original front fork casings but Ohlins internals. Handles mint but needs setting up properly cos is set up for previous owner who was a good few stone lighter than me!
Touge, nice ZX! Can't believe you like the sportster riding style?! I tried it and compared to the Tiller it's so wierd lol, it doesn't feel like anythings connected to anything else and it just plops along lol!

Loving the Tiller, no bike has so much road presence.. mine blew up but here is what she looked like...
bling yoshis way forward (and make small children cry lol)
not sure what happened, started clunking then siezed.. crescent couln't find any cause without total engine strip so I sold for scrap
, it had done over 40k hard miles though.

not all mine but they might aswell be i'm marrying the owner
Flukestar that sounds naff haha! I've got a 180, but thats only cos I'm a ***** and get all me tyres off ebay. 180s just lot easier to come by. Did you really find it makes that much difference with the 190, or just people giving it the biggun reckoning it makes soooo much diff?
