I've always been a fan of the Zed since the original Z1, loved the Z1300 and the GPZ, but I thought they lost their way a bit for a few years after that as they concentrated more on sports bikes. My mate had a ZRX1200 but it was an awkward heavy muscle style bike. I nearly bought a ZX12r but chose the Fazer Thou as I had the 600 before that and wanted to sit up rather than arse up.
When the first Z1000sx came out I quite liked it as it was a modern fully faired bike that looked quite good and I always thought one day I would own one.
Anyway when I decided to move on from the Fazer I looked at quite a few, GSX1000f, Speed Triple, and the SX amongst others and I stumbled across a brand new SX in Hull for less than 7k from a guy who bought it as he didn't get the R1m until a cancellation came up. The SX hadn't turned a wheel as it was delivered to his house and put in the shed. It also had over £1k of extras so I hired a van two days before Xmas and the rest is history.
I actually prefer it over the Fazer now that I've beefed up the power and it's got ABS, Traction Control, Power Modes and Slipper Clutch and also rides and brakes better.
