As for the carb problem on the 9, a 5-cent shim under the needle cures it.

Honestly, it really comes down to taste. If you want a ballsy hooligan bike then get the Z. If you want a refined comfortable sporty naked bike, then the FZ is your bike. Styling pretty much comes down to eye of the beholder. The FZ is very pretty and smoothe, whereas the Z is badass.

Go here for the Z >>>> http://www.riderforums.com/index.php

Oh, and NW, if i were to get a ZX-9 i'd go with the 2000.....
