K4?

As far as I know there was only ever B, C, E and F models.

A lof of it is the attitude. If he's happy to take it seriously easy there probably won't be a problem.
It's six months down the line where he's getting a bit more confident that I suspect he's more likely to be flying through the air (presuming he's not going to go out and rag it on the first ride and is going to be calm.)

The ZX9 can be ridden very sedately if you're of that disposition... it can also bite rather nastily if you're not.

Thought the K series was just post2000

Don't see the problem myself. Why not? It will only go as fast as he makes it go. He is the dangerous part of the equation, not the bike.

Problem is you did hear an awful lot of bollocks from blokes when they've had a few beers. Don't think I'd fancy something that powerful yet, would'nt trust meself

[Hennessy]

[Craggles]

If he's planning on riding with no licence and no cbt, then he's a plonker whatever bike he gets!

Otherwise, he's going to have to get through DAS etc before he's let loose, so good luck to him I say

Suzuki is the only company to majorly use K on their bikes model designations at the moment I believe.

[plugger147]

you don't say how old he is,is he gonna take a test and be restricted to 33bhp?(if he's under 21)
if not he'll soon learn how much respect he's got to give the bike or end up hurt.

i can see him being spat off at the first corner or looping it the first time he pulls away


i remember my dad having a go on a cb250 as you could ride them on a car license

and me laughing at him riding along at 5 miles an hour with a very scared look on his face


probably the beer talking as someone else said

[Kickstart]

[Visitor Q]

He was about 30, pretty sober, and hes viewing it tomoro off of a mate.

From all accounts he is mental/idiot enough to fancy his chances

And also... NO bike experience... AT ALL

Hes NOT doing his cbt

hes NOT doing a licence

and YES he is a plonker

And kickstart... nail on the head there. But its more like, i wonder what a planes like to fly... i know... me knowing nothing of how to control a plane, ill get into this unprotected tomcat sitting here...

He'll loop it, garaunteed

[Going2fast]

He's mad, if he hits anyone hes in the shit... if he dont he prob overcooked it and in the shit anyways.

People like this we dont want on the road, sorry.


By the way, from experiance i found flying easier than riding a bike lol. Honest, though it was only a small plane Best 50+ hours of my life, then told i can not join the forces due to eyesight... bugger

I worked with someone who was talking about getting a bike, again like the first posting, the guy's first bike.

He did his research and read all of the bike mags, Looked at power to weight ratios, etc.

And he said "I'm getting a CBR900RR-SP" (I think)

HaHa, I said "don't be a tosser, buy something to learn on then kill yourself", it's a race bike with lights on.

He left a few weeks later and still drives a car!! Did I put him off?

People don't understand the power these bike put out. They think its as safe as a car. Thats with my mate thinks when he gets his GSXR600. A little too much in a corner and your off. Throttle it on a straight and flip.

He will get on that bike being cocky and trying to show off, have no idea of the power. Open her up and hello front wheel going past my head.

Please record it.

[dainesefreak]

It's generally fairly difficult to flip a bike relatively speaking. Most accidents occur on bends and junctions, that's where experience counts, IMHO of course.

I beleive in natural selection anyway, so good luck to him.
