ZX-9R E1

[Darth]

I have owned this for very nearly a year and 8500 miles (the longest I have ever kept hold of any bike) but have decided to go back to cars for a while to help lower my wifes blood pressure!

Currently showing 25711 miles on the clock
Full major service carried out approx 2K ago in February inc valve clearances (checked and adjusted), carbs balanced and adjusted, new plugs, all filters and fluids replaced with quality stuff, brakes overhauled with new pads, everything under the plastics cleaned, checked and tightened - the works basically!
Recently replaced front wheel bearings and stripped off the stem to give the head bearings a clean and grease
Brakes recently upgraded to Nissin 4 pots in lovely condition
Nearly new Michelin Pilot Power tyres
All work done by myself as its the only way I know things have been done properly with a level of care. I can be quite anal when it comes to looking after my bikes!

Modifications include:
Penske shock
Reworked forks by Reactive Suspension (Revalved, Ohlins springs)
Harris exhaust hanger
DID Gold X-Ring Chain
Scorpion Stubby race can (original included in sale)
Stainless bolts.
HEL Stainless brake lines Front and Back.
Fabbri Smoked screen
Stompgrip tank pads
Undertray and tail tidy with mini indicators
Pyramid Hugger and solo seat cowl
Bexmoto Bar ends
Alarm and immobiliser

Bad points
Bike was dropped before I took ownership so RHS fairings have some scuffs and scrapes.
Seat cowl and Hugger have only been given a quick coat and are not a perfect match/finish.
Front wheel is showing some light corrosion/paint flake.

These things really aren't that bad though and as you can see in the pictures the bike still looks very good! Other than the above the bike is very clean, it always gets plenty of comments! I am happy to email high res pics to any interested parties.

edit 31/5/11 - Now with 12 months MOT, 6 months tax!

In no real hurry to sell (would ideally like to keep it for another couple of weekends!) so no insulting offers thanks.

Bike is located in Aberdeen.
