**Karaya One** · 10-18-04, 05:27 PM

I thought it was the Kawasaki Vulcan 2000. That was what Rider magazine said...

I say we fuckin have him banned.

**Big SIssy** · 10-18-04, 07:19 PM

Haha, Half Squid is serious, he is calling you out King. I can understand the 10R being a great bike, the 10R on this site in the member photos made me fall in love with them. A beautiful bike that really deserves the award. A bike that I am afraid of and probably won't even attempt to ride for a couple years, it would rip my balls off and spit them out the exhaust pipe.

**Nikon** · 10-18-04, 08:25 PM

i thought that it would be the razor...

**SWEET_Z** · 10-18-04, 08:29 PM

the NEWBIE bike of the year, ZX-10R.

Don't have it here, BUT

the stock '03 Yamaha R6 beat the stock '04 Kawasaki 636 on the tell-tale dyno at the '1st Annual NESR Dyno Shoot-Out'. Shall I put up another own3d pic?

**richw** · 10-19-04, 07:12 AM

I agree

the local dealer says he sold

22 10R's

0 12R's

ANd I still don't know what to buy

**Graffix31** · 10-19-04, 08:56 AM

if u read the new sport rider the new R1 came out over the zx-10 in the super test of over 13 magazines from many different countries.

**katana0215** · 10-19-04, 09:04 AM

i thought the Katana won it

**Half Squid** · 10-19-04, 11:15 AM

Back on track here....

1. The KINGS Going down.

2. I want a Black one like yesterday, Looks like I might be trading in a Somewhat stock RC51 when I take a few things off and sell seperate, if someone doesn't speek up and take her from me, she going to be long gone very soon !!!!

(maybe? I may keep it as a track bike?? )

**Kham** · 10-19-04, 12:14 PM

oh no Half Squid, you'r abandoning Honda?

doesnt matter. knowing you'r riding one of the badass bike makes a day's worth everytime you get on it.

regardless of power, handling, blah, blah, blah, the 10R made the biggest 'noise' in '04. It was THE talked about bike, and always noticed at any given bike night.

Kawi is BACK on the ATTACK!!

Yeah, i remember the same thing in 1998 when the new R1 first came out and the new ZX9... The raggs made alot of noise about the 9r at first (maybe to boost sales?? )

then it kinda fell on it's face a year later

hasnt fall on its face yet.

look at it another way, for the first yr, R1 has more blown engine than zx10 with broken front wheel. wouldn't you agree?

R7 · 10-19-04, 03:40 PM

No, because there has only been 1 R1 with a blown engine, and 3 ZX10s with broken wheel

Besides, no recalls for the mighty R1

Yes, Kham I may be leaving the Honda Family, I have left my origonal family of Yamaha's Finally, but will probably go back some day, but for now all my bikes are just about gone and I am seriously looking for a left over ZX10 in Black if she so exists.

Can I test yours out bud ?

So I guess that a certain someone has not seen this thread yet and read about the RC making a fast approaching exit??? If the right deal appears the beautiful RC will be retired from my stable and replaced with a new stallion.

Can you believe I started with 4 bikes the first of the year, and now down to my last one that could be snatched up at any time.. Then what? I need to decide when what bike, but the ZX10 is high up on the "list"

I want something that handles the corners like a 600RR, able to carry passengers comfy like a golwing (Ok maybe not, but at least somewhat comfy for a full days ride) Has to be able to carry soft saddle bags in case of a weekender. All this and still look cool. Oh yeah has to have better gas mileage than the RC's range of 107 light warning and 127 empty! Thats rediculas!

this will be a repeat btw, I am starting a new thread as to what bike I should get. I need help on this...

i think you'r missing some stats. i think saw some numbers in the dozens? can't remember but a lot more than 1.

R7 · 10-19-04, 08:19 PM

You could be rite, i think i did see that same R1 and pictures posted on like a dozen forums

I could dig threw some posts on various sites and come up with several 10r problems, but i just don't care

oh man, i'd be happy if you get a zx10. let's do a ride so you can try the zx10. you have to give me a chance to feel the RC but dont worry i wont do anything stupid or squidish.

comfy is probly not in the definition. cant tell you much other than total satisfaction for me in terms of power. doesnt turn as quick as a 600. probly the same as RC.

edit: excuse me.

just wanna correct. the turning is a little HARDER. i think quick is a wrong word. hell try it for yourself.
