A ZZR1400!

Apparently it'll be in my sticky mits in March sometime. Anybody want a 1200? One careful owner...

I think you've been reading far too many of S2RRKitty's posts

But very nice bike all the same.......all that 'safe overtaking' power

[Mon Ami Mate]

It's officially called Pearl Meteor Gray www.kawasaki.co.uk/product.asp?Id=3400D556116&Sub=2.

But it looks black enough to me!

Thats definitely the proper colour for that bike IMO...cant' wait to hear a full report on it.

good luck with it mate? im sure it will be an interesting straight line bike and give you plenty of thrills dont forget to post some pics when you get her.

Bugger. Been down to the dealers today and they've said it's likely to be the end of May before the first bikes become available. They've given me my deposit back. Ah well, better go and charge the battery on the 1200...

[Vitesse39]

Is that just a delay, are you still going to get one or will you go for something else instead ?

I reckon it would still be worth the wait, possibly even knock a few quid off for the wait aswell

ZZR1400...... Is that the the baby I've read about that's the either fastest, or the most powerful production bike at the mo?

Gutted for you. Can you not wait untill then?

[Mon Ami Mate]

I'll still get one, but Kawasaki don't seem to know when it will arrive really. When I put the deposit down they promised it would be the end of February. In the meantime I want to get out on the road again (haven't ridden since October after breaking my leg). And I'd rather the money was in my bank than theirs...

Why? The ZZR1200 I alrady have is a better bike in most respects.

[DennisTheMenace]

Hang out for the ZZ mate It does look a bit of a tool OH the blackbirds been around for about 800 years now along with the eyeabuser

[Andymx5]

Hang on.... You can't buy it in Green?!?!?!?!

And when you have, give me a call. The frustrating thing is, despite you having evidently not ridden in yonks, you'll probably still show me a clean set of heels around the twisties

Noone can call me a FWB - I did a trackday in mid-feb, and last week I even rode in heavy snow

It was meant tongue in cheek! The last kwacker I rode was a KH500 sometime in the late 70's!
