This is my 2009 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R. The bike worked flawlessly in all terrain and I took it places sportbikes have no business being. Over rocks, dirt, mud, salt and so on. Most people doing long around the country rides do so on large Harleys, BMWs or large Japanese cruisers. This bike is half the price of a BMW or Harley and 10 times more fun to ride and incredibly reliable. I still have the bike of course and now has over 20,000 miles and its only 7 months old. My previous daily rider was a 2005 Ninja. I bought it used with 4,200 miles and when i purchased my new Ninja it had over 44,000 miles on it. It was very good to me. I have a handful of other bikes. Mostly older project bikes, some of which can be viewed here.
