ebay item number 270268725717
full carbon everything, twinstacks, rearsets, polished ..

Re: Lookin to upgrade
Thought you hated blades? ZX10s are fukin nutter bikes. Literally a race bike on the road. The 05 ones are the most powerful and lairy. They looks the nicest as well.

Re: Lookin to upgrade
na thats a perfectly engineered seat that is, either it puts the mrs off getting on the back altogether or it gets jamed in her butt thus stopping her from sliding forwart and giving you the ball crusher.
i do think they have the 08 blade just right the front looks good as does the back an i love the exhaust, well i love the scorpion aftermarket slip on.

f*** sake. That is the exact one I dream about. I've even got a model of it sitting on my desk. I think i'll just follow you a few miles back now, stop every so often to have a little cry.

URGH!!
It looks like an alcoholics nose!
Let's face it - either of those bike's (or any modern 1000cc) is going to do whatever you want on the road, and if it comes down to looks the ZX10R wins every time!
