I'm just about to splash out on a new (2005) Black ZX10R and was wondering what everyones favourite 2005 litre in-line4 is and why?

zx10r mate. Thumbs Up

They fooked up the gsxr since 2001/2, the yamaha r1 is okay and the blade is a stubby looking piece of crap.

2005 ZX10R. The 2006 one looks rotten though! Has to be in black.

2005 ZX10R. Because I like the look/atitude of the thing.

Silly reason I know, but I'd never be able to determine the exact advantages/disadvantages the other models have to offer; not on the road anyway.

And I don't do a lot of track riding.

OK

Opinion of someone who's not into sportsbikes.

Blade - Looks a bit dull
Suzuki - Everyone has one
R1 - My workmate keeps banging on about it ALL DAY & he is a twat
ZX10R - I actually quite like it

ZX10r in Green or black... pref green though!

I really want to like the Blade but it's just too docile and for a thou, its just too dame easy to ride! The R1 is pretty sweet but i don't know.....it's just not me. The GSXR which is the only one i've not done many miles on (two test rides in the pissin rain), it feels like a great bike but the rear end and headlight are just so bloody ugly!

So its gotta be the ZX10R for me! I love the way the power bites, feels like if you rubbed it the wrong way it would spit you off. The induction note sends a shiver up my spine and it's just so sexy in black! Looks like it would bite yer hand off! Laughing

FZR1000 Genesis. Thumbs Up

Or a Z1000. Very Happy

But out of that list, I would say CBR1000.

I've not been riding long so my opinion probably aint worth much, but I ride a CBR 600 F at the moment, and I absolutely love it. hence why I would go for the Blade Thumbs Up

I have a GSXR1000 K5 so I am a little biased Smile

Like the new ZX10R though, looks smart.

But I would consider a Yamaha R1. And the M1 of course Cool

Good point Siggi! Thumbs Up

yeah blakes are pretty neutral bikes, full overall package, performance, comfort, handling and looks ok.

Valver · World Chat Champion Joined: 31 Jan 2005 Karma :

Just noticed how far behind the R1 is just now! If i'd posted this back in 1998 with GSXR1000, 900 Blade, ZX9R and R1 i'm sure it would be a different story. Red and white early R1s are lush!

anders · Banned Joined: 17 Sep 2005 Karma :

Best to wait for Yamaha to launch a new R1, Im sure that will be much improved

Reevo8 · World Chat Champion Joined: 30 Jun 2004 Karma :

GSXR1000 is all the mags have talked about. Supposed to be one hell of a fast well handling bike. I would much rather a GSXr than any other '05 superbike. With a racefit exhaust too of course!

I would have the ZX10R or the R1

Dont like the Gixxer1000 in 05 and the blade seems dull for some reason.
