Be good to see you again at some point.
Yup sold it due to divorce and illness but loved that little green hyper bogey
Think you were riding that when we rode to Silverstone for that Kawasaki day.

Great pick. Love this bike so much, to be fair it is a animal but only if you ride it like that it's a beautifully well set up bike. Enjoy it and hope to see you and it on a TS ride out this year at some point

Rossgo that bike is far from an animal. My ZX6R (and probably Kwacky's F3) is more of a handful than the BMW. It's so well sorted you can do bonkers speeds with comfort and minimal effort

I was going through an old thread to remind myself of what I thought of the Tracer 900

Perkles comments stand out (lol) ;)
