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   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:


getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

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.

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:

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:?
