zx 10 R

Decision Made

2005 SUZUKI GSXR 1000

the taly

The honda cbr 1000 wonderful but too many people who own Hondas seem to sell them quickly unfair but that is the impression I get. Certainly knobbies is beautiful and fast and God bless a happy union.

The r1 well actually my last 2 real street bikes were Yamahas. One needed a new 2nd gear and this last one started using oil almost immediately plus they are now a step behind.

The Kawi. I liked the zx10r kawis but hate their colors sorry I missed the blue but otherwise eeyow. The colors are left over from 70's MOPAR stuff It would have been 100 cheaper then the gixxer real world


Actually it lost to the gixxer because....

Latest articles complain that...

Gixxer ..
The ergos fit short people I agree and yes I am short. It fit perfect
The rear shock and suspension is biased toward the street and Heh I ride on the street.
Now it packs the same wallop as the Kawi almost identical dynos
It comes in blue so my better half will like it
Free steering dampner..
Counterbalancer but I am unclear if the Kawi has one.

It is the latest and just plum prettier

There is a delivery truck due in the next 2 days and the 1st blue one is mine.

I will be toolin the breakin next week




ALSO NOTE to those Thinkin of new stuff...maybe it was the wet weather but they are dealin boys like a K under list so move if your gonna. If the weather snaps to dry and beautiful maybe these deals will dry up as well.

cool.

The first impression I got when seeing one in person was how small it was, to the point of almost being too small for me. I do like that pipe though. I was hoping Suzi didn't go for the CR trans like the rest of the litre bikes -- otherwise I might've owned one.

Track day, FRIDAY, July 29?

i dunno about prettier. purely personal preference. i got my zx10 because of styling period.

im short too and i could use little lower bike and street friendly suspension right out of the box.

if i had to choose now i might go with gixxer.

Personal preference, but I can't stand the look of the gix. I don't like the headlights, looks to much like the busa and that damn cannon they have for a side mount looks hideous.

Honda 1krr all the way.
