Gee, didnt realise so many people log in to this thing everynight, its like a fundamentalist religion.
Im probably going back a bit here and showing the age, but my Kawasaki interests stem from a very young age, the glorious 70's, superfrog Yvon Duhamel, then Mick Grant, Bary Ditchburn, and of course Kork Ballington (remember the 500?), and even though I was from the Northern Hemisphere, I was a fan of Greg Handsford.
Mick Grant was my all time favourite Kawaski rider, and many times I watched him race at the pure road trakcs in Northern Ireland such as the Ulster Grand Prix and the North West 200.
All time favourite pure road racers are the late and great Tom Herron and Joey Dunlop (OK Im biased), circuit specialists Kenny Roberts Snr, Mick Doohan (even before I had the operation to become an aussie) and Vale Rossi. Riding bikes is only a bonus to wathing the racing. Previous Kawasaki owned include an AR125(death trap), GPZ600R (Pogo Stick) and ZX6R (Samurai Sword).
Ive ridden a ZX6R from Sydney to PI in one day, the ZX9R should be like a Cosmos coach bus in comparison, but I'll drop into see you guys at turn one, guess you'll be the ones wearing green.
