I figured Id start a thread about my new Zed. Seems I'm the only one, but I won't be for long. I'm not joining any bullcrap H2 forum, so you guys are stuck with me. Besides... its a Z. Had it 5 days now, just crossed the 400mi mark, releasing my RPM restrictions. I will now go forth with looking at the road ahead and stop checking the meter every time things start getting fun. Still only touched 8k briefly, and that's where the fun begins. Next ride I'll see what's what. Probably could have reached for 11k by now, but I'm trying to follow the rules, if not the speed limit. Have the tail tidy and Carbon Fiber can on order last night, tracking says it will be here in two days.
Ill believe that when its in my hot hands, but I'm so very ready to lose bazooka and dingleberry.
For what its worth, the '14 Z was my first road going rocket, and I had it to experience for 5 years before trading up. All my testimony should be considered coming from a relative newb to sport bikes.
So far, the mirrors are fantastic. The quick shifter, display, smooth power and just about every review says the same thing so I won't be redundant. Professional test riders don't throw around the word perfect very often, and Ive never ridden a Ducati Or MV but so far I believe Kawasaki made this bike specifically for me personally. They snuck into my dreams and made them a reality. I miss the snatchy kick of my old Z a little bit, this one is almost too smooth coming into the power, but once I get to 10k I may retract that statement.
