I had one of these ZX9Rs  and it got stolen. Like a good neighbor state farm was there, but I always missed it. It was my first real sportbike, I had bought it new.

Tonight I had a tip on a deal and went to Orlando in the Tundra cage and picked this project up

Nice! What does she need?

Very cool, I love the old school 80's & 90's bikes, congrats Steve! 
 
Are gonna track it or just for fun on the street? Or both?

Thanks!

So far I can't find anything major wrong but i've only ridden it a few miles. The clear "Break-in" warning decal is still on the front of the tach, and the decal underneath on the shock reservoir looks great too. It has 15,000 miles.

My needs list thus far I'm finding is:

Brake lines swap (still has the rubber lines from 1999!)
Chain adjustment
grips
tank protector
repack Muzzy exhaust
Dunlap to Michelins

Hope I don't find anything major wrong with it but so far so good

Thanks!  I suspect it'll be the bike Teressa learns to ride on, then mostly street....of course a few track days here and there. I've been twitching to get back out there and had sold my track bike and all my suitable sportbikes for the track

That's a wild color scheme, making it look like a Teressa bike. I don't care what color it is, I'd take it through the twisties. 

I had an EX500 stolen from me back in the 90's. Found it parked one street over in another apartment complex, knocked on the door it was parked in front of .....what a dumb-ass. I took my bike back.

I don't know what's worse, the dumb thief or the fact that you had an EX500...

Pretty bad huh? That was back in the Top Ramen, Oatmeal, and cheap bike days.

I have no room to talk, I think when you had that one I had that late 80's Ninja 250 that I crashed with Scotty on the back...

Now you've got me craving another old school Kawi Steve, how about this one?

Well, I mentioned in another thread I was worried about the bike because it lacks KiPass, and a gentleman suggested i simply carry my C14 FOB around with me.  Brilliant idea....will report how well that works after I've put some distance on this retro ride. So far so good  =)

We have gentlemen here? Who knew?

One or two...such as VJ

Teressa's learner bike project is going well. This weekend she learned to roll in first a ways and stop and never dropped the bike. 

But I might let her do the whole MSF class before riding any further on the retro rocket =)
