Bought the bike 7 years ago and couldnt bring myself to sell it, moved over to Spain last year and the bike is now finally on its way to meet me.Heavy bike but i love it, Like Carsten says, painful riding position, not recommended for long long journeys(Like Spain), Swapped for a day with a mate, he has a ZX-9r, he was well impressed with the performance, he thought it was going to be a plug being as old as it is. lots of poke!!!! Had the valve clearances checked after 35K and very little adjustment reqd.
