    I just got rid of my '07 Ninja 650r for the 10r. Honestly, the bike is just a wicked machine. The bike will put you in jail in first gear, yet it is not impossible to ride on the street. As long as your nice with the throttle it won't bite back. It is also amazing to flick around, I have to say it ...

    Bought my zx-10r 2 May 09, now got nearly 4000km on the clock. Akrapovic pipe and ASV shorty levers make for a sick piece of work, real head turner with kermit cable tied to the back. Rides like an absolute dream, love that smooth application of power+ when I twist the throttle. That "slipper clutch" ...

    I bought a 09 ZX10R Ninja couple weeks ago and then spent a couple days painstaking riding running it in to the 600 mile mark for its first service. I enjoyed the handling and the ride so much it actually had me fighting back the tears. I opted for the two brothers race can to further compliment ...
