Some of you may remember my thread about moving to Houston and searching for a new bike. Well I'm finally in the position (new apartment, car took a shit, engagement ring, etc.) and I've got it narrowed down to two. Looking for some opinions.
1.) 1999 Bandit 1200S. Mostly stock, has a Corbin seat, full Yoshimura exhaust, and K&N pods. $1900
2.) 1999 ZX-9R. Plastics are junked, but is mechanically solid. Comes with a nearly complete 1998 ZX-9R for parts, a couple jackets, and miscellaneous stuff. $1500
Both sellers say they're firm on their prices, but we'll see what cash does. I've had a B12 before, so I know what I'd be getting into there. I'm curious what people think about the Kawi. Seems like the better deal and it would round out owning the Japanese Big Four at some point. Kawi is going to weigh a lot less and makes more power as they sit.
The B12 looks almost too clean to fight out properly, while the Kaw gives me a chance to dive right back into fighterdom.
