Just about to buy a new ZX10R and was looking over the bike again....I assumed I would get the rear seat cowl as I don't intent to carry a pillion. It's an extra.....not only that...it s a 450 quid extra!
Whilst it shouldn't be a deal-breaker, it has p!ssed me off quite a bit.

I thought these things were given as part of the bike?

I'm sure a dealer could either throw it in free or at least massively discount it, if they think they'll make a sale.

Look where he lives. Won't happen!

Just buy it from US, and ship it.

Cheers Chris.....$220...or AED1,080.

Feel like telling them to forget it.

Yes, a hands off approach to theft seems to work

Yes, but imagine all that "bottom action" I'd get!!!

How's Tricks Tony? All good I hope mate?

It's nothing new for Kawasaki, I bought one of the very first ZX636-B1Hs in the country in 2003, and had to go back and buy a seat cowl when they had one as an aftermarket extra.

Hello you! Hope you are well?

No pics unfortunately....still smarting about the 400 and something quid they want for the rear seat cowl...bloody liberty!
Still, it's over 4 grand cheaper than the R1, so guess you can't have it all!
