Greeeeeen! 
Someone tell me why Kawi does not offer this as a color on a permanent basis. It is their flagship bike.

Here ya go DC.
I installed the turbo almost 5 years ago, it was my first retirement project. We're strolling thru Deals Gap in this shot.
Like you I grew up with the KZ's. In fact if you look over the right front corner of the Malibu you can barely see my KZ1000 that I bought new 32 years ago this month.
The Malibu has been an ongoing project for 13 years. It's got a 454 with a Lunati cam, headwork and the usual bolt-ons. We're also going thru the Gap in this shot.
Here's the Z just sitting at the Gap, it's fun through the twisties.
Don't mean to bore you guys but like dubious, I like 'bout anything that goes fast!!

I've always got questions..........just short on answers! I have visited the forum on several occasions when I needed help, like you said, a good bunch of guys.
Thanks for the compliments folks.
Jim, when the 12 grenaded I knew I'd never make Loring so I've cancelled my hotel. Was gonna come up anyway and spectate but figured I'd use the money from the trip to put toward the 14.
I'll try again next year. Gonna piddle with the 14 since the boys have made some headway with theirs. I've missed drag racing and the 14 seems better suited for that venue than my 12 ever did..........love the 14's clutch & torque.
Adam,
The wrist issue is still there, should have had it pinned like the doctors wanted to years ago. I was set to buy a new Connie but have converted my Versys over to a nice long week-end sport touring bike and figured I'd just not take the 14 on the longer rides.
My youngest son Chad has a perfect silver one that looks like the one I sold you and he's wanting the green and I love the silver so we're swapping everything over next week.
Thanks again guys for making an old man feel good.
Dan

Nice Bike
I'm looking to do the same thing, find a new 09' and hopefully the same color... Where did you get yours and how much did you pay OTD....??

Jim,
I hate to miss it, I'm sure you folks will have a great time!
Paul,
With Kawasaki offering a $2,000 rebate and dealers wanting to move the '09's they can be bought for cost.
There's a green '09 I found on Tallahassee's Craiglist from a nearby dealer, I think it was Bellamy's Kawasaki. They had it listed for $7,999 with the rebate. Most shops get around 500 -600 bucks for freight & set-up, not sure about this one.
I've bought several bikes from my dealer so he works with me. He had to dealer transfer this one in since he didn't have a green '09.
Good luck,
Dan

Hey Dan,
BTW, I never did manage to get that primary sprocket off!!! At least not since I spoke to you last.
Priorities haven't given me the time to get back into play mode. Did I mention that the bike only has 6700 miles on it at this point? I clean it more than I ride it !
Damm these 7 months of 90+ degree days.

That Boo is a sweet ride. I have come to the conclusion that most guys on this site are speed junkies and like it in any form we can get it. The green is a sweet color.
