I was quoted $7500 OTD for a left over 07 a couple months ago. And $7600 OTD from a dealer in OR witha "friend hook up"

Damn, it is almost impossible to find a 07 leftover here. I need to look out of state now. I am surprised that the Z1000 is sold out everywhere.

This was a few months ago. I have not been back to the dealer because if I walk in and see the bike sitting there I am scared I will try and trade the SV in and buy the Z....

Saddest news for me is that the Z has been discontinued for 2009 which means used prices will jack up now that it is a rare bike.

^ True ^ I don't know if it will jack up the prices, but the bike is not a common sight.
After looking into the list of mods the zed's go thru... I may be more inclined on an ohlins rear shock/nakid conversion on the FZ6.

Highly doubt that! It was never really a highly sought after bike.

Last time I was in FDR Honda/Kawasaki in Paducah, KY. they had one Z on the floor. I am not sure of the year though.

The z1000 is still part of the 2009 line up over here. Maybe its never been a great seller in the usa?

It is a really nice bike but for me id at the very least need the large fly screen. Now if they brought it out half faired.......

That bike has got the ugliest exhaust cans ever designed and that useless plastic around the radiator. Fugly is the word...

As for faired or naked, I find my naked monster to give clean air, no turbulence, even at *cough*110 mph*cough. The only way I have gotten the FZ6 to anywhere near that, is to remove the windshield.
