Sorry for the delay in responding. Sounds like you got a better deal than I did--although for the Seattle area, I think I did alright. Mine was 9500 plus tax and title. No issues so far (although I'm still breaking it in as recommended in the manual). Previous bike, which I still own, is a Honda TransAlp (V-2, 600cc) bought new in 1990. To say the Z1000 has way, way more power than my Honda only covers part of the difference--but I love the K's motor! Granted they are completely different rides, I'm learning to really love the Z's power and handling. And I'm not anywhere near pushing it yet.

at last america wins. glad you could afford it. i thought you might type with an accent.(hope you swedes have a sense of humor. they say mine is dry.) how is the riding over there. any curves? can you get good gas? are power wheelies against the law? so many questions so little time. oh yeah my paternal ancestors were dutch, maybe we're kin.
