there's TWO at MidTown Jibbers!!! a green one and a blue one!!! $15,190 the dude told me! I went in today looking at helmets, etc... and there the blue one was...... absolutely farkin' beautiful! I've never seen pics of the front, and wow, it is gorgeous!
sat on it, and it does feel "LONG" as Smitty said, and that underseat exhaust is a wide-ass muffler (like a car!)
anyway, sign me up for one, plastic 1/2 gas tank and all!

r they alot more forgiving on the wrists than the 04's? in the seating position arrangement? in that review and the Kawiforum blokes seem to say so.

slipper clutches are good, believe me, damn good... tried em on two different bikes at the track last weekend - an 04 R1 race bike and an 04 zx10 roadbike..
farrrrkkk, not about the power but about the downshifts being so easy to handle without rear wheel sliding about.
my next bike will/MUST have one, period.

Finally got to sit on a green one yesterday. The exhausts isn't to bad in the metal but it still doesn't float my boat. However a nice aftermarket twin pipe system would look good. The very first thing I would do is fit a bubble screen. I have to squat right down to see the instrument cluster. Other than those little niggles I love it. Make mine a blue one.

So, if it's not too much to ask, what are people managing to pick them up for, if that's not being too prying?
Anything like full-retail, $16,000-and-a-bit, is a bit insane next to the mid-$12,000 the B-models have been going for recently.
Smartest move Kawasaki made was bringing it out in the candy blue they've had as their own since the C-model ZX9. They should sell hundreds of those alone.

Damn, Adelaide is the back water of OZ, we don't have any yet and as far as I am aware we now only have one dealership (Boltons) since Bills did the dirty on kwaka with the MV Augsuta mob, he now sells Yamahahahas. Cant wait to see one up close and personal
