New Bike At Last

After scrimping and saving , selling my dirt bike  and bugging the local Kawasaki dealer  i finally got the bike that will carry me around Australia and across the world .  Big thanks to Team Moto Kawasaki at Maroochydore .
Before picking up the bike   I had them fit a sw motech sump guard and mitas E08 tyres .
I have added Renthol twin wall bars and fat bar riser clamps alone with some  Bark Busters . Didn't like the black paint scheme and  as it's the only colour available here in Australia i painted it 2007 Z750  pearl wildfire orange .  Another thanks go's out to Judy and Ron at Motorcycle adventure products for giving me a bit of a discount on the hepco beaker panniers and mounting brackets.  Fit nice and close to the sides of the bike so its not as wide  as some bikes .Took it out for a spin to Sydney and back 2300km round trip . runs and handles great even with the panniers full . My wife  Christine came for the ride on her bike . we manage to dodge all the rain but did ride into 35 degree heat 400km outside Sydney .
