So, not everyone has always ridden Kawi's. What else you got in the stable?

I Love Honda's as well :)

I had a 2005 Yamaha R6, which was traded in to purchase the new Z. I really enjoyed it, but never rode it. I decided on getting something more comfortable.

The R6 was an awesome bike, but you really can't go wrong with the Yamaha/Kawi/Honda/Suzuki 600's. That bike was fast and everything was tight-throttle response, braking, turning, shifting. It had almost no power below 6k rpm, but that just made it more fun to shift through the gears.

The new Z is a different animal, but there are some things I will miss about the R6. Overall, I am definitely glad I made the switch.
I have an 07 CBR600RR as well. Love the bike... But really the Z1000 is much much better and I enjoy it a lot more!
I'm currently building/rebuilding a 93 GSXR750. Big Bore 907, Keihin FCR Carbs and stage 2 or 3 cams. Should be one fun bike on the track! Will be for sale once it's built!
I still have my first gen sv650 and still love it!
Its a light tourqe monster and still alot of fun,
As for the other loves in my life...well lets see

Got my 99sv650 naked about 3 yrs ago and now ive had my 2010 z1000 almost 3 weeks now.

Can't afford to have a fleet, sadly. used to have a Honda 599 and had an 85 VF500F Interceptor before that. I loved both of those bikes but wouldn't turn back.
i bought a new 06 victory 8 ball cruiser. i still have it. it is a very good motorcycle.
Love the Nick!

I'm from England and thats where the Gix is but my parents live in the states so I got the Z1000 so I had a bike to use when i'm over there.

Also I'm relocating to the US early next year so the gixer will be shipped over and the Zed will be getting some intensive Streetfightering, I wouldn't get rid of the Z1000 it has some awesome potential for a serious hooligan tool :D
are you james bond or something. HA!HA! just kidding sometimes it's nice to see how the other side lives (wealthy) flitting all over the place .
i've heard of mutiple bikes but ( this is my bike for england this my bike for the states.) sounds like a rough life. keep us posted.:eek::eek::eek:
2010 z1000 and 2006 yamaha R1, love em both.

As well as the 2010 Z1000 I've got a 2005 ZX6R C1H, had it from new, it turned 66,000 miles last week. It does the bulk of my commuting to work, 100 miles a day round trip, it makes the journey more bearable when riding a nice bike.
