Hello, I'm another Kawasaki convert. I started with an old 1987 Honda Hurricane as my first bike. It was a fun starter bike, but that was quickly replaced with a 2003 GSX-R 750. I bought it used, which was my mistake. The motor quickly spun a rod bearing, and almost all the other bearings were showing gold, so they were on the way out as well. I rebuilt that thing myself and rode the shit out of it, then sold it.
I had my heart set on the 09 R1, it sounds amazing, looked great, but...then I rode it, and got to sit on it for more than 30 seconds, and it felt slower than my 750 did, so here I am.

This time I bought new, the bike had 1 mile on it when I got it. Now, 1 day later, it has 108 miles on it and counting. So far I'm loving this thing, and can't wait to install the parts I've ordered for it.
