Greetings Ninja 1000 owners. I am kicking tires and looking seriously at a Ninja 1000. This looked like a good place to gather info and make an informed purchase. I am presently riding a 2002 Yamaha FZ1. It's been a great bike but it's time for something a little more modern. My old FZ is a solid and capable bike, has good fuel range, comfort and power. The new generation Ninja 1000 looks to be the most obvious replacement for my bike. I have only sat on the new Ninja but it felt very comfortable and seemed to have lower seat height. It is also the best looking sport/tour bike that I have looked at thus far. I have a couple of questions:
1) Are there any technical or performance differences between the 2011-2014 model years?
2) Does it have a gear indicator?
3) Will the older models accept the 2014 side cases?
Anybody out there that has owned or rode a Gen 1 FZ please chime in and tell me what you like about the Ninja in comparison
Thanks!
