Hi Biker Buddies,
I love my Z1000, she is silver with blue (RS Blue) stripe down the centre, has shortened pipes and pazzo racing levers (black with gold adjusters).
I find her easy to ride (for someone new to biking), but as everyone knows she does vibrate a bit a high speeds.
Does anyone else like Z1000's?

Yes,

I test rode a 2004 Z1000 and thought it was fantastic!

Only reason I didn't get one is because it looked like a moped underneath me.

And, terribly sorry to bring this up on your first day and all, but your username does have chick in it.




So why the complaint about high speed vibration? Saves you sitting on the spin dryer in the utility room.. hehe

mostly joking - welcome to BB

I had my 2005 year Z1000 for two years and loved it! The Akrapovic pipes sounded lovely and in black it looked great. It always felt like a Tonka toy as it was small, a bit chunky in style and slightly mad!

I sold it only recently . . . for a Superduke, which is even madder! And of course, if you like vibrations, then the KTM is the way to go . . . !!!

Glad you like yours - have you down-geared it? If not, then do it now! I went one down and three up which was pretty extreme, but it made for a cracking town and B-road thrasher.

Enjoy!

PH recommends www.webshots.com All you need to do is take your pics of your bike. Register free with webshots then upload and make a note of the URL where your pics are saved ie www.webshots.com/yourname/564746etc then use [pic] url [/pic] within your text on here to link to your picture on webshots. Try using the formatting Help above the screen when you type a message on here.

Makes sense? Sounds difficult but once you get the hang of it its okay.

One thing that I got stuck with was the resolution. I was posting pics but they where poor quality so you have to set the res to the max on webshots before you copy the link into your text.

Phew. Need a lie down now! lol

Ah, that trip! Gonna have to leave it mate...Expecting to have an op any time soon, so will be out of action for a while. I've told Ali. If there's a change of plan though, I'll see if I can get there. You're not riding up/down then?!
