@@alexstewart2247 I have the best colour/livery lol, Lightning blue and Violet Y2k E1, whish they done an F2 in the same design and colours for me to buy, going to be a very sad day that I have to say goodbye to it. And they are good for 0-60 in 3 secs and 170-180 top end, and that is stock. Mine is awesome to ride, so much power and torque as soon as you touch the throttle, despite 144bhp(+now) and 101Nm torque(+now). People focus too much on the power figure (higher power only means a little more top end). Still it does also depends on gearing (and weight) on all bikes, through to final drive, these keeps with bikes with quite a bit more power and a bit more torque.

@@HalfdeadRider yup awesome bikes 👍 Also you need to remember the zx9r was the first stock production motorcycle to run the 1/4mile in under 10 seconds running a 9.9 seconds @136mph. It also used to beat the R1 from the same era in top speed test runs in many cases despite being 100cc down! So underrated for the time and even today that's why I love it and never getting rid of mine, love the nostalgia, looks and analogue of the bike to much. I wouldn't swap it for any of todays new flash stuff anyway. I think these are cooler and more of a talking point and in the real world can hang with new bikes no problem. Wont find another bike that will give you this much bang for your buck anyway

I have been riding it on track and road last 2-3 years and its fantastic bike for the money i paid, around 2.1k euros or back in the 2014 2.8k$ (today 2.2k$). One thing is shure, this bike eats brakepads, i'm running softer pads to increase disc life.
