Fascinating to hear how you preferred the riding position of the ZX9. One of the main reasons for me buying the Fazer was that the ZX9's riding position was so uncomfortable. I did 30,000 plus miles on mine and I found the pegs way too far forward and the bars too far a stretch which meant that my butt was in agony in 50 miles. I'm just over 6 feet tall, so maybe it's a size thing because the roomy riding position of my ZX14 is no problem at all.
Also, I hate having to balance myself against windblast - exactly the opposite of you - I find that I have to adjust the steering constantly because the wind pressure shifts from arm to arm just slightly tweaking the steering and knocking me off course.
Funny. Old. World. Innit?
M advice - if you can't afford insurance on a ZX9, get a 2003 ZX636. Very very nearly as fast as a ZX9 or Fazer and an absolute riot too. Most exciting bike I've ever ridden in fact.
