    witch one? help!

    alright i got my new bike narrowed down to two.

    03 z1000
    30000 miles
    every conceivable thing you could do to one has been done.
    636 conversion front and rear
    scotts damper, new zx-10 wheels
    muzzy exhaust, pc3,
    custom paint, orange with ghost flames
    fender eliminator, custom lights.

    03 sv1000
    7000 miles
    yosh carbon pipe, cost 900 bucks
    newer tires, k@n filter
    silver w/full fairing.


    asking price is the same on both. only thing that scares me on the z is the mileage and heavy mods. i'm sure its probably been ridden hard as it should.

    the sv seems mint but i feel cramped on one so i will need rear sets and maybe new bars.

    what do you all think?

    I would not let the mileage scare you, my 9R has basically the same engine and has gone 85,000 trouble-free miles. Witch casts a spell on you?

    Personally, I'd get the sv. I don't know about the 636 conversion...that stuff wasn't made for the z, how well it works is a mystery to me.

    I have an 03 Z with many more mods, if you want any info, PM me, typically, the bike is modded but more from a cosmetic stance than practical for most folks, plenty of info on them at riderforums.com. How much is he asking? I know Ray, he is a good guy, the bike is in VT right?

    love the Z... SV's are not comfy for me at all. Just see which one is comfy for you and go for it, you will not be dissapointed with either.

    My completely unbiased opinion is that you should buy the Z1000.
