well as most of you may know, I've been thinking of getting myself another zzr1400 for a while now, well I've done just that :yes: went for a ride the other day and on the way home called into a kawasaki dealer :whistling: there in the corner on it's own was this special edition peal gloss black and golden blazed green (http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m474/02zx7r/zzr14002013.jpg) kawasaki zzr1400 2013 and after a bit of :sweatdrop: ing I :surrender: and bought the beauty :smiley: the dealer gave me £8,200 for my much loved 60 plate gtr which I thought was a fair price considering they don't seem to be selling for that price private. really enjoyed riding the gtr but had it 2 years, done a france and italy trip and 6 long weekends trips and many day trips :smiley: and felt it was now time to move on. I know at some point I will regret selling the gtr, but having said that.. have never sold a bike yet and not regretted it afterwards :nono: "shame we can't keep them all" I've made many good friends through this forum and still intend on being part of that :yes: and even still go on the odd bike meet and ride out if the zzr1400 is welcome :grin: I do have some extras have removed from my gtr which include the following.. I will give anyone on here first refusal then whats not wanted will go on "evilbay"
full kawasaki "what the dealers use" exworks "paper" genuine service and maintenance manual cost new £65.00 from the states
skidmarx headlight protector cost new £29.99
bagster/baglux tank cover/harness for the magnesium grey gtr "still the best colour" :grin: cost new £104 plus post
also have a spare main ki pass fob, theses cost new £275.00 supplied and programmed to your bike. if you want a second fob it would only cost you £30.00 from a dealer to have this fob programmed to your gtr.
do have a beowulf radiator gaurd and a kawasaki genuine low gell seat, but won't know if I'm selling theses till I see if they will fit the zzr1400 if they won't fit I will offer them on here!
all in as new condition :yes: open to reasonable offers, if interested in any of the above accessories just private message me with what you want :smiley:
Well done 2kwaks, think the ZZR is a beautiful bike, have liked it since I first saw it at the NEC show the year it was launched, I'm a bit to fat and heavy to ride one though so I had to go for the next best thing... the GTR.
Health to enjoy it.
Al.
You've shocked me there Dave. How much did you tell the wife this one cost, was it on sale at 50% discount. :mfr_lol:
Shame really, I used to enjoy your company on the GTR meets :mfr_lol:

what are you saying steve..! my zzr1400 is not welcome :cry: but there's really no need to worry :nono: I will still wait for you :grin: but now, I will only need to open the throttle on the zzr a millimeter or 2 at the "very very" most :yes: to keep sight of you in my mirror :mfr_lol:
Very Jealous......
Shame about the green flashes though.....

it was the green flashers that made me decide to buy it.. H0..! :yes: the all green 2012 zzr1400 is nice but I think it's to green, the other option is a vary dark blue which I don't think it brings the best out in the bike, so this special edition gloss pearl black and golden blazed green is a excellent alternative and hits the spot right smack bang in the middle :yes: :yes: :wink: p.s I assume that boss looking zx10r you had as now sold.. :yes: or :no:?

I've always said that GREEN is the best colour :punk:
Congrats on the new bike, told you that you would miss the thrust !!!
Are you gonna keep the 636? or will you be one kwak oneyamahonduki ?
Coman
nice one 2 kwacks, looks great, but i do like the green also. out of curiosity have they managed to do anything to quiten down the clunk into first gear yet, that was the only thing that spoilt my zzr 1441 ?

I've not ridden my new zzr
1400 1441 yet :cry: because it was still in the crate at the time I said :yes: but all kawasakis clunk in first gear. I remembered my df8 model doing the same but I soon got used to it, infact don't think I've had a bike that doesn't clunk when first gear is selected, infact even my gtr1400 clunk in first gear. did take the 2012 zzr
1400 1441 :smiley: for a test ride when we had one on demo at work. but I didn't recall the clunk when first gear was selected, but that may be because I was use to my df8 zzr1400 doing it. infact even my 2012 zx6r clunks when first gear selected. anoying.. :yes: will it do any harm.. :no: suppose it the nature of the beast :smiley:
Nice bike but better in all black, dont like the green flashes, bit of an after thought, who was the dealer you purchased from.

it's not a 636 :no: they stop producing the under seat exhaust model 636 in 2006. it's the 600 model which have got or should I say had! since the arrival of my new grandson in june 2011 :smiley: I now tend to mind him on my rest days through the week on the days my daughter and wife are working, so only really have enough time at weekends to enjoy just one bike. I happen to mention this to my kawasaki dealer and due to the zx6r only being 6 months old with only 1,200 miles on the clock and the preformance edition he said he would be willing to take the zx6r in as p/x as well, he also offerd me a very good price for it :smiley: so the fact I will most likley be riding the zzr most of time :smiley: the zx6r would be getting even less use and also be worth alot less next year :yes: so after much consideration :grin: it seemed the wise thing to do :smiley:

yes i agree most bikes clunk a bit into first gear,my other zzr 1400's had a clunk,aswell as my gtr 1400 but i used turn my tickover speed down slightly by using the throttle thumb turn adjustment,which brought the clunk down to an acceptable click,i have always thought that if my gears were clunking it would be doing a bit damage somewhere ?? unfortunatley i couldn't turn down the tickover speed on the 1441 as it does not have the manual adjuster, so unless i started it in first gear i found the clunk on mine really harsh a lot worse than the 1400's. you think kawasaki would be able to do something about this on such an expensive prestige bike. but like you say all the kwacks do it, it just used to bug me a bit, i used to get loads of people staring at the bike when it was at a standstill at lights ect, but it was a bit of a let down when i put it into first to pull away with the clunk.never mind you are obviously used to it,i found it to be a terrific ride with much better handling than the old 1400 good luck with it and enjoy,all you need is some descent weather.

ha..! but run it into what!! geoff with the greatest of respect :yes: I've got enough respect for you and my old mans request to run in the zzr
1400 1441 :grin: and for this reason alone, I'm afraid I will need to decline your request and my "old mans" request :whistling: to have ago :smiley: but by saying :no: to you and my old man :grin: we all can still enjoy both your hilarious and outrageous requests :mfr_lol: but I may let you sit on it, the next time we meet at devils bridge :grin: providing you don't take us of the beaten track again :whistling:
No no no :no: I dont want to sit on it, because I just know that I would think that maybe I should have one of my own :whistling:.
Aww.. So close to becoming 3Kwacks

hi kwack!!!!!!! i see the dealer your got got your new 1441 has your old bikes advertised on e bay.goes to show you how a dealer can ask high prices for there bikes and we know what to expect if we try to sell them private, he's certainly not shy putting on the price tags!!!
dam they were bloody quick at listing them on ebay :yes: they only collected them from my house at 16.00 hrs yesterday afternoon :shocked: I've started a new post in General Discussion under... well they never waisted any time :shocked: the price their asking for my gtr is sure to raise an eyebrow or two :yes:

agree with that :yes: but you know as well as me, it's highly unlikely he his going to get that price for my gtr with out a p/x to take in :no: he's allowed for offering the customer a better trade in price for their bike, if you were to go in with cash and no p/x I'm sure he would knock off £500 which is would then be about the right price for a 60 plate in immaculate condition with under 8,000 miles on the clock from a main kawasaki dealer.
