    Kawi has arrived!

    The brandy-new Ninja 1000 has arrived! Picked it up today. Great, upright riding position, and the motor is delightful, even keeping it under 4,000 rpm for break-in. Can't wait to get to the point where I can really open it up!

    Re: Kawi has arrived!

    It's been to the red line in every gear already (right after it was first started in the factory). Feel free to open it up.

    I broke my ZX9R in by riding it hard now and then once it was fully warmed up. It just turned over 98,000 miles on Thursday and still runs perfectly.

    Re: Kawi has arrived!

    ^ Just imagine how many more miles you could have gotten if you'd broken it in properly!

    Dana, that pic doesn't do it justice. Look up a builder photo - it really is that vibrant.

    I wanted to get out and put a little more than twenty miles on it, but Brenda wasn't feeling well, and I got the look... Maybe tomorrow!

    @dontpanick, I'm riding out of Cambridge if the weather holds and you want a spin. I'm still trying to get my rearsets adjusted 'just right' so I'd love to get a little saddle time.

    Re: Kawi has arrived!

    Great bike... the red/black one is my screen saver!

    As someone mentioned, lugging at under 4k is worse for the motor and could result in rings that don't seat (and a motor that burns oil).

    Enjoy!

    Nice man! I got the 2012 Z1000 (basically the same bike but I got less fairing and a smaller tank).
