Kawasaki ZX6R P7F

[Fnatic]

Replaced my 2008 FZ6 S2 last month with a 2007 ZX6R. Had done just over 400 miles from new, been garaged all it's life, had serious chicken strips and hadn't even had it's first service.

Bought her from a dealer for £4500 which I thought was decent all things considered as it is practically in the condition of a new bike. Dealer did the first service for me and picker her up around a month ago now. Insurance is just under £300 FC at 23 with 5 years NCB.

It is completely stock as far as I can tell other than a couple of daft stickers on the fairings. As she is going to be living on the driveway, I have spent the first month trying to make sure it doesn't rot to pieces or get stolen.

Have installed the only ground anchor I could find suitable for a soft ground driveway: https://www.groundbolt.co.uk/anti-theft_anchors.html#shermans - the 90cm version

Got an ABUS alarmed disc lock: https://www.abus.com/uk/Mobile-Security/Motorbike-Scooter/Brake-disc-locks/GRANIT-Detecto-X-Plus-8077-yellow

And, an Oxford Stormex cover: https://www.amazon.co.uk/OXFORD-STORMEX-MOTORCYCLE-WEATHER-COVER/dp/B000R593AG

Also gave her a good clean when I got her home, polished her then lathered her in ACF50 which made it look like the bike was on fire for about the first 5 miles of riding. Been an expensive past month or so getting the bike and buying all the above but I do have some modifications planned for the coming months:

Essentials such as tail tidy, smaller plate, storm grip, DB screen, R&G bungs, integrated brake and indicator light I've seen here:

Once essentials are out of the way and provided I haven't binned it by then, then went a carbon front hugger and fender as they look awesome in contrast to the Kawasaki green and then start thinking about a Yoshi exhaust system.

Will be a slow process as I need to save up for the mods among other things but will keep the thread updated

EDIT: Also want to get some fresh rubber on the bike eventually as they're currently the stock tyres and probably 8 years old now at least and if you are to believe some of the stories online, they'll be getting changed in due course. Current ones are decent for the current commuting run however.

Cool, look tidy.

Tidy bike, I had one and loved it....absolutely brilliant on track...Unfortunately I wrote mine off so go steady!

Tail tidy and a hugger are good upgrades but anything else astheticly is pointless for me as it's such a good looking bike.

Decents brake pads and braided hoses make already fantastic brakes even fantasticer!

As with most underseat exhaust bikes you can't pick up a cheap can, you'll be looking at £350 for an Akropovic silencer which is the only one to have....£1500 for a full system. Second hand go for good money too.
I didn't bother as I wasn't interested in more sound and the bike has plenty of power to start with!.

Have fun!

Key to most 600 il4's (supersports) is to be in the right gear, you have to "ride" the bike!
