[So-Crates]

Oh man....a few too many...

My first was a 1984 Ninja 600R.
then.... 1994 ZX7, 1995 Ninja 250 race bike, 1996 ZX7RR (one of 350 imported to the USA...unfortunately, the guy I bought it off had blown the engine, so it had a stock ZX7R motor, but was otherwise a RR model). Then a crashed racing and broke my collar bone - and couldnt take that "monkey f**king a football" riding position any longer. So I got the 2003 Z1000 in black. That got stolen, so I replaced it with a 2003 Z1000 in orange. Just sold that (along with my Honda Shadow) to finance the purchase of the 2010 Z1000 in white/orange.

So, this is my 7th Kawasaki.

Yeah, i bleed green

This is my second Kawasaki. My previous bikes:

1983 Honda Magna V45
1988 Honda Hurricane 1000 (CBR1000)
1983 Honda Nighthawk 650
2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250
2010 Kawasaki Z1000

I have been very impressed with Kawasaki lately. They have a great lineup of motorcycles. They are one of the few manufacturers to offer sport bikes geared towards *street* riders (e.g. Z1000, Ninja 650). Their bikes are also fairly inexpensive, when compared to, say, Honda. I went to a motorcycle show last winter and noticed that Kawasaki's fit-and-finish on most models is excellent. My $3,999 Ninja 250 had a higher quality look than many more expensive sport bikes.

The Z1000 is one of the best motorcycles I have encountered. So smooth and easy to ride, yet wicked fast.

back in 2003 when i got back into motorcycles [ 93 honda 750 night hawk] dont laugh it was a very good bike [for somebody else] i was looking at a suzuki 1200 bandit. i used to be a loyal suzuki owner. well sitting next to it was a ELR 02 ZRX 1220r. i kept looking ant the bandit and the ZRX. that was my first KAWA. i dream green now.

My Z is the first Kawasaki I've had. Always been a bit biased against them, though I guess it's mostly a styling thing. That, and the first guy I knew who was a big Kawasaki fan is a complete idiot.

 

[streetmaster]

Same here. My Z is my first.
