Its been at a bike shop getting its thunder back with a complete engine rebuild..so if you see some almost 50 something y.o.guy doing wheelies all over town next week...give me a wave

Here it is! I'm his twenty year-old son, we have owned this bike for a few years now. It's an absolutely amazing machine.

As for me, I have had my motorcycle license since age 16. Currently I have the Triple to enjoy along with my 125cc Yamaha scooter; Off-road capable, 65mph and 85-100mpg!

Gotta love those old Kawasaki two strokes. Looks clean.

I hit 90,000 miles on the odometer on my 01' ZX9R last week. It's presently wearing it's 21st set of tires, 8th set of front brake pads, 2nd set of front brake rotors, and 5th chain/sprocket set. Maintenance and wear items have almost eclipsed the original purchase price of the bike.

Those are great bikes, and the fact that you have 90,000 miles on it shows that point perfectly. A good friend of mine / college classmate has a '01 ZX-6R that he absolutely loves. The Triple will launch equally and almost hang with it through the gears.

Love to ride, but gave up the bike for the boat so would not have to finance, do not like to finance toys, but working my savings up for a street glide (used of course)
