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.

The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

zx10r any day the honda will send you asleep.

For me insurance on a blade is around £1,600 but the 10r was £400 work that one out :S that was at 18 btw lol.

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.

URGH!!

It looks like an alcoholics nose! :smt078

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! :smt004
