I figured I would drop in and say hello after joining the forum. I went to my local Kawi dealer last month to get a few odds and ends for some winter maintenance for my 2000 ZX12R Ninja; and ended up buying a brand new 2014 non current Mettalic Spark Black Connie. I have been looking at them for a couple years now, and couldn't walk away from an awesome deal. I still love my 12R, but at 48 I can only do a couple hours on it before I start to hurt. This is going to be my see the continent machine.
