I had been riding a 750 for almost two years and wanted something faster. I was looking at other bikes and came across the last ‘08 ZX10R on the showroom floor at my dealership. On my previous bike my legs were too long to tuck under the tank. The ZX10R was cheaper and the plasma blue was an amazing color. So I bought my 1st Kawi. The acceleration was incredible. There is no need to downshift to pass traffic. There is so much power in any gear. The handling is great. I must say the exhaust and rear fender is an eyesore but that’s what aftermarket parts are for. 85 MPH in first gear and 150 in 4th gear with room to go on the tach. I always heard about other bikes giving you so much confidence in the twisties, but I have gone 20-30 MPH over the recommended speeds in curves and the bike gives me confidence that I can go faster. I would recommend this bike to anyone. I AM SO GLAD I GOT THIS BIKE.
Upgrades/Accessories: LOR slip-on (260mm), seat cowl, Rumble Concept Kawasaki ZX10R 08-09 bone series fender eliminator, Hot Bodies double-bubble windscreen (dark smoke). Going to get the steel braided brake lines soon.
