My

Hi All.

Thought i would come and introduce myself - i am Dave, live near London UK and am 30 years young (my grey hair may suggest otherwise though lol!)

I finally past my bike test last year after having had 50's and 125's when i was a kid, and bought a CBR600F2.

Did my years "learning to ride properly" on that if you will - and have just bought a ZX9R.

This one to be precise......

1998 C1 model, blue, 40,000 miles, 3 owners from new with some history, years MOT (TUV/roadworthiness test) UK £1600 - good price!

Sorry for the rubbish ebay pics - i collect it on saturday :D











Would love impressions on the bike, whether theres anything to be aware of, anything you see that looks wrong or not stock etc :D

All i know is when i said to my brother (who has been riding for 10 years non stop) that i wanted a bigger, faster bike, he said "ZX9" to me..........he rides a played with GSX600 with a GSXR9 engine in - but he reckons the ZX9 has the BEST power delivery of any bike, ever!!!!

My thoughts were its a Kawasaki and therefore the engine will be awesome, the handling probably less so - but i am not worried about that, the bikes limits will be higher than mine! :D:D

Great looking bike from the rubbish EBay pics!

One of the most under-appreciated sport bikes Kawi has produced...I love mine, and you'll love yours!!!

Have you picked it up yet?
