two years ago i ummmmmed and rrrrrrrrrrrred at kawasaki zx9r's or the yammaha r1, i decided on the zx9r after reading reviews that the r1 was un stable, and the running costs were high!!!!!! the zx9r was a very quick bike, and id say its as quick, but not faster!!!???? the riding possition is more uncomfortable, and i found the power much more top ended than my r1 on the very few runs on the santa pod, the zx9 scared the pants of me a few times as the front end suddenly launched into the air as the power came in,i found the lift quite violent and at times un predictable!!! the r1 on the other hand is very front up happy, but also very balanced and easy to control. the bottom and mid tourque is quite noticably more than the zx9r but i found at high speeds 150mph+ the zx9 felt much safer and not so 'head down behind the screen ...

Advantages: Quick, Fast, exciting to ride and stylish.. as well as Japanese and reliable! Disadvantages: Twitchy front end on earlier models, needs stearing damper.
be pricey as it is with all bikes that have an 'R' in their name (gsxR, zxR, cbR, R1 etc etc) however my father did find int he past, due to a road conviction that he struggled to insure the R1, some companies won't even touch them due to the fact that when they came out, all the nutter jumped on them and trashed them, plus they are a sought after piece of kit for thieves so keep em locked up boys and girsl!
However, I bought mine at 24 after 8/9 years no claims and no convictions and was pleased to pay £350 tpft at such an age (just shop around and you will find a good deal).
As for performance well what can I say... It's quick... quick and fast top end! My model was claimed to do 0-100mph in 5seconds and although I have never timed myself, I can believe it (and that's the '99 model folks)!
The exceleration is awesome but the front ...

THE FRONT
MANDASUE HELLER
INTRODUCTION
?The Front?, was the first novel from Mandasue Heller and was published in 2002.
Ms Heller moved to Manchester in 1982. She spent ten years living in a notorious rough area of the city, working as a singer in bands playing on the local pubs and clubs circuit. After a vicious attack on her home she decided to try to fulfil her ambition of becoming a writer.
She had always enjoyed reading crime novels so she wrote about what she knew, about life on the rough estates of Manchester.
Mandasue Heller is billed as being very much like Martina Cole, and I do agree with this comment.
THE STORY
?The Front? starts with Mal, Ged, Sam and Lee, four old friends, who have decided to make some easy money by robbing their local supermarket, on a Manchester estate ...
