I am thinking of getting one. Any thoughts? A dealer offered my 10,500 for a 2013 SE edition.

10,500 o.t.d ??
no of course not, 10,500 is without tax and fees. But still is a good price imo, no??
Had a Ninja 1000, mechanically identical. I was pretty happy with it.
the looks of z1000 are very different imo
Yup, but styling is subjective so you can decide that for yourself. It looks like the seat is identical, so I would make that #1 priority for an upgrade - it sucks. Handling was great, brakes were good ... and it had way more power than I knew what to do with.
I would try to knock it lower because of this:

Use the sale price as an arguing point

I tried really hard to bring him down but he already brought it down from 13,499 to 10,499! Not sure if I can bring it down more and it is a special edition too.
Just warning you now, that particular special edition will instantly depreciate to the value of a regular Z1000 once you buy it
hmm...

I know that tolerance to vibration is very subjective but did you find the ninja 1000 to have any annoying vibrations? I've read it can be an annoying buzz at certain rpms.
.thanx...
.thanx...
I would like to know that as well looking at picking one up and the 14 now has a higher 6th gear.

Yeah, it was a little buzzy at + cruising speed. I wanted to try HVMP bar-ends but did not get around to it.

Hey Sunny,
Yup. I believe I'm in my 5th year of ownership. Never owned a bike this long... But, I'd like to get something new. I've pretty much decided I have to have ABS and I'd really like traction control. Luggage and heated grips have spoiled me to the extent I'm starting to think I need them as well... If I own this bike too much longer I'll start thinking the belt drive is mandatory...
Have you sold your f800? I see it is for sale...

I had a "rare" gold GpZ. Rare is relative, and it was never worth more than the red ones.

I wouldn't get carried away with that angle.
Special edition or not, it will be worth the same on the resale.

Unless, a SE has like upgraded brakes,stronger engine and compltly different fairings...
A SE is not a SE if it just has a different paint scheme on its bodywork!

In the "Ninja" World, does SE just mean a "monster drinks" logo on the side? lol
