| Superbiker   | So I narrowed it down to 2, Insurance said NO to the ZX10..... 2003 Katana with less than 2500 miles.... $3600  2007 Kawasaki Z1000 with 5xxx miles..... $3800  I'm liking the Katana myself.... Anyone have any thoughts as to why the Z would be better? Last edited by varment; 03-01-2012 at 09:23 PM.. |

I thought about fuel injected vs carbs, faired vs naked, 750 vs 950, read a few reviews on the both of them... Last edited by varment; 03-01-2012 at 10:38 PM.. | |

The katana is much older technology, worse suspension and heavier as well, but offers better wind protection. |

| Shredder  Joined: Nov 2008 From: Myrtle Creek, OR I Ride: A big silver one | If I was having to make this decision, I'd go with the Z. The ugly exhaust is fixable. The short coupled, fuel injected fun-factor on wheels is priceless. It isn't even the orange and white one, so not a tweak to the male ego. Though I'd ride the other colored one, no problem. It'd just need an OSU sticker on it to be totally awesome! The Kat would mean less drool from me, and no harrassment about letting me take it for spin around the block... After-all, I haven't bugged you about that battery charger, so you know, a favor could be called in...  |

| Superbiker | The Katana sold so looks like next Sunday (crossed fingers) I might possibly be the owner of a Z1000... Found a lot more deals today though.... My intent is to pull the trigger next Sunday.... |
