I owned a ZX-9R E1-Foxeye headlight version. The ZX was deemed the bridesmaid of the 1000cc super-sports at the time, but in real world riding it was by far the most comfortable of the lot. The only thing I disliked about it was the fact it had carbs and as such didn't like bitterly cold weather as it suffered carb-icing.

Still rates as the best road bike I ever owned. I did 100,000klms on mine. Sold it and years later bumped into the guy who bought it. It had 170,000klms on it then and he had no problems with it. I've got a friend with a 2016 zx10r that has over 250,000klms on it and has never been rebuilt. Still perfect compression.

Love my ZX9R E1 and my XSR900, but I still prefer riding the Kawasaki. Great video and just shows that older bikes can be more rewarding to ride.

I have a ZX9R, and it's not going anywhere. I'm keeping mine for life. Great bike. Peace.

I think you're being unkind to the ol' girl - she'll still be kickin' ass way past 50k on the clock.

My older riding friend back in the 2000s switched to the z900 off sportbikes. It was popular for that. I was still sort bike only at that point. I started the decade on a 01 zx9r and finished it with a new gsxr1000 in 08.

Really enjoy my budget zx9r great value for money only paid £1350 for a 98 model with high miles, my only issue as someone whose not mechanically capable I'm a bit reluctant to do longer journeys and wary of having a carburetted bike, so I would have to go with the z900 for peace of mind. Cheers GR

Idk why you'd even try and compare them, they're completely different things

@KentRoads 5 ай бұрын

the only similarity is that they both have 900cc :P

@kingvtec100 5 ай бұрын

You can tune the z900 to 145hp
