Popular Post Keeper96 Posted January 6, 2022 Popular Post Posted January 6, 2022 Well okay regret this as I’m already not sure about the choice but I swapped my 2005 tiger 955 for this ‘99 zx9r today… it was sportsbikes that started the obsession with biking when I was around 5 years old but now I’m through my test I find most sportsbikes too small, the Kawasaki seems to be one of the most generous in physical size so I’ve taken the plunge and hope it doesn’t backfire on me 17 1 Quote

Keeper96 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Posted January 8, 2022 Cheers lads, I’ve just ordered a set of brackets to drop the foot pegs and then I think all will be well! Quote
Keeper96 Posted January 22, 2022 Author Posted January 22, 2022 Had it out for a little run today just to pick a few things up from Seaham, very surprised by the comfort and definitely glad of the extra legroom from the lower pegs. but compared to my old tiger what a beast! I know compared to modern fuel injected bikes it’s lacking about 35+hp but it’s a big step up for me, definitely one to be respected. handling wise it seems very steady and planted but felt strange at first with how willing it is to drop into a corner with the slightest input to the bars and pegs. can’t wait to get out over the pennies once the roads are a touch drier! atb Bob 3 Quote
