Z1000 at last?

[acalliste]

Well, between my friend's new Ninja 1000 and then others who have test ridden the new Kawis lately and getting me all excited (never mind teasing myself with test rides), I have new bike fever again.

Not sure if I want to trade my gsxr or not. I love my Toad and don't really want to get rid of it, but I want a bike that isn't a schizophrenic drama queen (esp now the hot weather is returning, it's going to get worse). I really want a Z1000. With a kid in college who only works part time at minimum wage and will likely need a new car soon (doubtful he will be able to get one on his own at this point), it's so hard to justify though.

I have been keeping an eye out for a good deal on a used Z1k, or any other kind of deal I can find. It seems no one who has a 2010 wants to give it up yet. And... to be honest I prefer buying new if I can.

I was checking out Kawasaki's website to torture myself some more, and noticed an ad for something they have going on right now called the Good Times Sales Event. Apparently you request a game ticket, which they mail to you, then you take it to a dealer and see what you won with the ticket. I guess the ticket has a code hidden on it, which you unlock at the dealer. That will tell what you win right away from the ticket (which could be money off a new bike - what I am shooting for), then later you bring the code back to Kawasaki's website and use that to enter a drawing to win a 250R. So I requested a ticket.

May as well give it a shot, hey, maybe I'll win a 250R! I'll ride it, I ain't skeered!

There is a $750 discount on a '10 Z1000. So maybe if I get something off with the ticket, and maybe (big MAYBE) trade the gsxr, I can pull off the purchase.

Anyone looked into this yet? Gotten a ticket? How did it work? Here's the link to it


Anyone want to buy a pyscho gsxr? Maybe I could trade it for a used car for my kid. Hmmm...
