I had a ZX9R E1 before my Fazer, Joe. I didn't really know what to think as it was just an impulse test ride for the hell of it, and like you I was really quite amazed at how quick the Fazer was. I bought it there and then because I was sick of having to wind the 9 up to 4k just to get away from the lights and that riding position always annoyed me.
I think the ZX9 just has the edge at really high revs but the Fazer has it all over the ZX9 below 8, and although the 9 will keep going way past the Fazer's 160ish top speed, it really doesn't matter that much.
Course, I Ivanised mine. Oh yes. More everywhere, and much snappier and willing to rev out..... Bye bye ZX9. And if you can spanner yourself, it's a 3 hour, 120 quid improvement that make you very very happy..
