If it is going to supercharged, then expect it to be in the $25,000 range...just like the previous supercharged model. Ack!

This pisses me off. Whenever Im searching Z1000 or Z750 on the interweb now,I have to churn through pages and pages of transformers.
Now its going to be the same with Z900s. Theyre new bikes,why cant they think of new a designation for them. There are plenty more letters in the alphabet!!!

Good thing I can't afford one. Hard enough keeping a rear tire on Bossie as it is. Couldn't help using the power and getting into trouble. :woohoo:

Guess I'm pretty old school. Those renditions did nothing but turn me off.
YUK!

I would need a sazall, a 6 inch lower mono shock, weld a set of wheelie bars on, airshifter with all the DYNA goodies, put a big pizza size sprocket on the rear, put a 7" x 17" M/H slick. Then beat it up at the local dragstrip. Faster and quicker than I ever went!
