That's a sharp ride!! Been thinking strongly about trading my ss off on a newer bike with a warranty so I can just drop it off and don't hafta worry bout fixing it myself with the very little extra time I have!! Nice bike though!! Ride safe!!
Sold the zx10r (which was the plan all along).
I found a leftover 2013 Ninja 1000 abs for $7999. I picked her up today in Troy, NY at Troy Cycle Garage. It was a 5 hour round trip plus an hour at the dealership but worth the ride.
Literally ZERO miles on the clock.

Oh hell yes! my buddy has a 2012 Z1000 and I rode it just the other day and damn! I thought the Buell pulled hard. A Z1000 will very likely be my next bike. You can wheelie in basically any of the first 4 gears. He has a full Akro exhaust and a power commander. Lots of torque everywhere!
Alien...nice ride, joining the same feeling of not belonging here much longer. looking at the FZ-09 as soon as I can get the XB sold.
awesome choice!! I went the same route. picked up a 2015 ninja 1000. but I still have the buell couldn't get rid of it.
much more comfortable and the 6th gear is going to be great this year when I do my 7k mile trip. last two years doing that on the buell nearly killed my body.
Alien,
Your thoughtful and often entertaining posts were always welcome.
Be sure to check back once in awhile!
BTW, I have been looking pretty hard at the new Versys 1000 as a second bike, so let us know what you think of the Ninja...
