Got a budget of around 4G for my next super-bike, I've never owned a ZX before so advice from you guy's would prove invaluable, what do I need to look for?

I live in London, so any dealer info would be good so i can get it well looked after and serviced when need be.

I asked my dad if I could grow up & ride motorcycles like he did. "Son", he said, "you can't do both."

Had an '05 which I did 23000 problem free miles on (apart from new front wheel due to paint flaking off after a couple of months)  loved it.
 Had that for 3 years then chopped it in for an '08 which was a great bike too.
  I preferred the '05 and felt better on it but bet a test ride on both see how you go.
 They are both great bikes
