Kawasaki ZZR 1200 cc from 2003, 54,000 miles

Hi everyone!
I'm looking into getting a Kawasaki ZZR 1200 and wanted to hear your thoughts.
Is it worth it? Reliable? How hard is it to work on or find parts for?
Any info or advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Very reliable. The only weakness I am aware of is the starter chain tensioner, and there is a simple fix. --  www.kwick.biz/tensioner-tamer-install/
Kwik makes a lot of cool stuff for the ZRX that also fits the ZZR.

Plenty of oem parts here--  www.partzilla.com/catalog/kawasaki/motor...03/zzr1200-zx1200-c2

These guys will empty your bank account faster than you can shake a debit card. They also have low prices on oem parts.    japan.webike.net/KAWASAKI/ZZR1200/476/mtop/
