 |
|
An open plea ... please use the 'R' when referring to the 'new' ZX10R. I'm a fan of the original ZX10 and get annoyed at delving into threads etc for the 'wrong' bike ...  just to clarify, here's a couple of pics:-

Thank you and good night ...

I have always liked the old Z1000's I think they are a great tough and unpredictably surprising machine!  I have never seen a ZX10 but it looks like a ZZR

lol - from the same site I got the other images ...
Actually, I think there is a definite evoltuionary trail from the RX through the ZX10 to the ZZR11 in terms of looks - you just have to see an RX and a ZX10 front on to see it ...
I just bought me an RX - chuffed? hell yeah! Doesn't it just look gorgeous? Gorgeous like a tank to be fair .... but yum!

I had the RX engine in my GPZ750R. Nice toy it was  I did have a go on the RX a couple of times though, and found it a sure footed beast. I'd have liked to have had a go on the ZZR1100 to compare it.
GPZ900R still looks the best out of the lot though, IMHO

really? that's nice to hear from someone that's ridden one - I'd always heard (and in fact expect) it to be an almost 'nervous' handler - being 240kgs on 16" wheels front and back ...
(Going to pick it up tomorrow)

Well, I never wrung it's neck, as it wasn't mine and really couldn't afford to hand it back in pieces It felt as though the weight was lower down than the GPZ750R so although it was heavier it didn't feel as though it wallowed in corners. Kinda point it where I wanted it to go and it went there. I'm not a "spirited" rider, so your mileage may vary

Theyre like my old FJ1200, theyre good handlers up to moderate speed but are a bit flighty when really pushing it.

This is my old ZX10 'B' model which i had for 2 years and was my FIRST bike. I think the old ZX was bullet proof but the brakes were crap!!
The pics show me bording the ferry from Spain (4 weeks after passing my test) and one outside my gaff shortly before i sold it |

ZX10, looks like a bag of shite, probably still quick though, probably handles like a bag of shite.
ZX10R, looks Great, Super fast, and good handling
ZX10R all the way baby |
LOL, 'bag of shite'........compared to some other stuff it was waaaaay ahead of its time AND the fastest production bike for a period. Not bad for a first bike, i mean, if i sat on your Baby Honda i'd have to visit my GP to have it removed form my fat arse 
As for handling, it went quite well for its size and when all said and done it was a tourer capable of 138BHP and 165mph back in 1990.
The 10R is a fantastic looking machine but i'd have to go for the 12R as i'm too cramped on the 10R.
I like my CBR11XX though, it hussles well with its Ohlins, BT010 rubber and BIG bhp, i like my ballistic sofa |
