Bought a zx9f2p and its been fantastic , but would never class any of the zx9`s as sports tourers lol, who the hell said that anyway your lucky to get a tank bag on it ,its not a zzr mate . Anyway it handles fantstic and storms out of corners like you would never beleive, its exactly what you want from a middle of the road sports bike it ticks all the boxes and more. wanted a C model but due to the 3 gear problem gave that model the elbow and then this f came my way , still cant beleive how much faster than my k3 gixxer 750 it is and it handles better. A very very underated bike .

I have a Kawasaki ZX9R ZX900 F2P & love this bike only complaint I bought it used & strangely enough have discovered mine has only a 5 speed .
I have asked numerous mechanics & can't figure out what could have happened to 6th gear ??
It runs very strong in all 5 gears but stops @ 5. I can only figure that maybe 6th is screwed up & wont engage, very strange other than this the bike has been fantastic & is very fast.

I got a 99 reg Kawasaki ZX9R ZX900 F2P and have been happy since, I have not changed anything on her and despite a scare with some random noises all has been great (the noises turned out to be from when a mechanic had put the tyre on so it rubbed against my hugger afetr a service)

Had a 1998 C1 in blue for some 4 years now. I have not modified it in any way, unlike most of my previous 20+ bikes. The original chain & sprox, cosseted, lasted 24k! Heavy on rear tyres, but has been the most reliable bike I have owned.
Put it this way, the previous owner has since bought an R1, followed by a Ducati & then a ZX-12R, & he is still pestering me to sell him the 900 back. A firm no, although I confess to being tempted by a swop with the 1200.

Cheap thrills and great for touring (especially if you add a gel cushion as the seat is a bit hard after about 500 miles! Really good economy when touring.
I've had two now, the early C2 and currently an E1, The cornering can be improved hugely by raising the rear ride height by 10mm (shorter suspension arms for about £10 on ebay). I've done a couple of track days and it can keep with most but the newer sports stuff blows it into the weeds. Ridden to Prague and back (for the Brno GP) in ...

The Kawasaki ZX9R is a fast and well built bike with good handeling and suspension. Its an all round machine capable of going very fast as well as munching the miles. It has been classed as a sports tourer by a lot of people but i think it is more sports orientated. It has 144hp on tap and wieghs in at around 183kg which puts it up there with the other 900 sports bikes. It is quite heavy compared to most 9s but it makes up for that with a supurb bulletproof powerplant. It can reach speeds of 170 ...

Bought my Kawasaki ZX9R when it was 6 months old. I have had it for 5 years now, and still love it as much as the day i first saw it in the dealers.
It the green one, and turns heads whenever I go for a run.
Tour Germany every year, these bikes are fast and comfortable.

I owned the c2 model in blue. what a powerful engine. decent handling and up to 160 miles before reserve when fast touring. I kept her about six months but noticed that my riding was untidy due to taking advantage of that engine too much and entering a corner at silly speeds. She got me from a motorcycle event in Belgium in a day and I could still walk which speaks volumes for its all round ability. Have to admit she was just a bit too fast for me. Prices are down to below 2k now so what a ridic ...

I love my Kawasaki ZX-9R. Great bike for six footers or taller.

Even though it's outclasses for pure sport use by other bikes, it's a nice big comfy chassis that makes a great super-sport-touring ride. The fuel tank is BIG and fuel economy is great, so I can get around 350km (200+ miles) per tank. Even though there's no fuel gauge, it's easy to tell when to flip over to reserve (it's carb'd, not EFI), which is when you know you start looking for fuel stations.I've added a tank bag, large saddle bags, and a tail bag, and it is GREAT for long rides and highw ...

They say this model comes under the heading of sports tourer but I've opted for the sports heading, I've had very few tourers that I would have been confident enough to take the tyres right to the edge on, so I can assure you in my opinion this bike can hustle with the best of them, depending on the riders ability. The lack of fuel gauge is a bit annoying but I get around 120 per tank so once the mileage is set you know where you stand plus you have the backup of a reserve. I've had no major p ...
