Maybe an 01 F4I...

Or maybe the Z1000!!! I kid I kid....
That's what I have... 05 ZZR00... (not a fatboy as my profile says... thank Trip)

I LOVE my bike...
the headlights are fuck'n awesome...
a bit of the sleeper look as it doesn't have the "loud" grafics...
seat is comfy and so it's good for long trips...
Great aftermarket already (02 ZX6R is the same model the J model)

the downfalls are
no gas guage or light... start looking for a gas station around 160
Carbed... but really the carbs are VERY good on this bike...
not the 636 motor

I got mine with 618 miles in Jan of 06 for 4999 OTD with a 500 Arai helmet thrown in.

but that was January in Alaska.
