Kawasaki had a tent set up and I sat on the 1997 ZX9 and stated something to the effect of "If they would take about 70 lbs. off this bike I'd buy it." Well when the 98 brochure came out it said exactly that !! ![]() I took the tank and all plastics off and had it painted black since there was no black ones offered in the US...had some decals made that said ZX9RR and had a one of a kind. I later sold it and bought a 2000 R1. |

It just figured that when Kawi got it right, Yamaha had to eclipse the fact that their bike had improved so much. Every R1 that the same shop had was sold that year. I remember a salesman telling me that all but 2 came back on a flatbed.

Were not talking about them, those were strong and courageous pioneers who came to the US to work hard ad make a better life for their children. Were talking about dirty Mexicans here.

Ok back on topic...however we don't know if the original R1 owner was illegal or not.
