Heyya, welcome to the site. Sorry to give you a serious answer! I did about 1300 kms on a 06 ZX10R running it in on the road and I found it to be a surprisingly comfortable bike. I've not ridden an R1. In my opinion, all the litre bikes are really good, so just buy the one that you like the look off the best. :yes:

This is true I reckon, personally i'm a Yamaha man from waaayyy back so......R1 :lol:

[Chickenlegs]

Have ridden both an R1 and 10, I found the 10 WAAAAYYYYY more comfortable than the R1.

The R1 is a small bike, well, everything feels small and narrow. The 10 feels a bit more substantial.

The R1 has benefits, a super-light-girly clutch. The 10 requires a good grip for the clutch... Umm, can't think of any other benefits, sorry...

[sugilite]

This is true I reckon, personally i'm a Yamaha man from waaayyy back so......R1 :lol:

We may need to start a R1 mutual admiration club. I concur, the R1 is easily the best looking of the jap litre bikes :yes:

Must be good weed you're on...

The new Blades and 10 may be fugly but they aren't anywhere near as bad as the R1...

It looks like its on its knees about to through up after looking at its reflection. :sick:

[DUCATI*HARD]

they are both ugly:scooter:

[Chickenlegs]

I stand by my words...

[martybabe]

Oh man, An easy one.taking into account your hieght,weight,marital status and finance history.The R1 is the bike for you.

Ok,I aint got a clue who you are but the answers the same R1.Why have a bloody good bike when you can have a bloody great one.

Welcome on board mate. R1

[parminder_singh1984]

Oh i don't mind the looks really.........actually from what i read and hear in the reviews, the ZX10 08 is shaky at certain speeds and that is one reason i am looking at R1 as an alternative...but 180 ponies at the rear wheel(ZX) is a little too irresistable...

[98tls]

And no doubt you will use every one them.:whistle::beer:

Well, from what I've read, the Blade would be the bike of choice... Specially if you don't mind the looks...

[blossomsowner]

try the logical alternative........suzuki, simply the best........if you want horsepower get a hayabusa, or better still bolt two of them together for double the power.....hang on that would make it a car so really the serious answer is to get the one that comes out in the best colour.

[bikerboy011]

R1!!!!:2thumbsup

Most new litre sportsbikes can get shaky, they weigh 2 tenths of f*ck all, have short wheelbases, steep steering geometry, and put down some serious power. Its a no brainer. Is 180 bhp useful on the road? Honestly? Would you really notice the difference if it "only" had 160?

[Zoolander]

I stand by my words...

That looks shit hot..... but absolutely nothing like the road version.

[skidMark]

If english be the criterea to own a kawasaki, i am buying it tommorow....

Jesus, don't strain yourself.

[skidMark]

And in my personal humble opinion Sir skidmarks, i am sure my english is far better than the texting lingo that most of us use...:pinch:

Displayed really well in your first post, then you tried to look smart in your first reply to me, and still fucked up.

[skidMark]

R1!!!!:2thumbsup

Pipe down you are biast LOL:baby:

You duns spekz gud nuff endgrish to havs a kawasarki,

but a hondaaarr rrr rrrrr

Just an observation Mark, This guy did not make any sort of personal statement towards you at all. Check out your 1st post above and have a little think about your own actions, and the negative chain reaction you set yourself up for.

Txt speak is a crime.

How about this then? Still better than a R1. It's MY OPINION.....

[Chickenlegs]

Pipe down you are biast LOL



I believe Sugi meant: No punctuation and incorrect spelling....


Pipe down, you are BIASED, LOL....

[NZsarge]

You're are entitled to your opinion mate, I don't agree but that's my opinion.Just as well everyone does'nt like the same things otherwise life would be a bit dull eh....

[NZsarge]

Let us know what you decide on Parminder......(R1) :first::yes::laugh:

[robertydog]

I will have to go with the R1.









Was gonna sell it but you guys have almost talked me in to keeping it.

[Grumpy]

Don't put too much stock in what you read. The only review that counts is your own. I checked out the new Kwaka last weekend and have to say that bike would almost make me give up my naked's and go back to sports bikes.

Ride 'em both and whichever one rings your bells is the one you park in your garage. :2thumbsup

[Zoolander]

How about this then? Still better than a R1. It's MY OPINION.....

Mmmm its a tough call, it does look better in black and with the tail tidy, but I still cant quite get past the squashed front end, not saying the new R1 is an oil painting either......

But thats my opinion, and frankly if we all liked the same stuff it would be a pretty boring world. Imagine if everybody rode a GSXR!!! (joking.....)

[CHOPPA]

r1 is due to be updated you will be on an "old" model to fast, new 10s are going to be current for atleast 2 years....

[slowpoke]

I will have to go with the R1.









Was gonna sell it but you guys have almost talked me in to keeping it.


Keep it! Those '04-06 R1's are the purtiest thang this side of a 1098, better looking than the next gen R1's and still plenty quick enough when you are getting up it.

I can't believe there are 53 responses (and rising...) to a 2 choice question....

[cowboyz]

How does it feel being wrong all the time?

Have to agree on both counts..... Only making it 54 now.

[parminder_singh1984]

I am going to ride both of them and i will see which one stands out for me...
and correct me if i am wrong; kawasakis are known to be raw and untamed..aren't they??

[Chickenlegs]

Hahahahahaha....

You fun guy....

[Chickenlegs]

If you want to be a hard-arsed individual and ride a bike that's different from the gay, sheep and prissy, then yes, a Kawi is the choice.

They are indeed raw and untamed.... That said, you'll only know that if you ride like a complete twat on the road, or push it on the track...

[Biggles08]

Kawasaki's are known to be raw and untamed..aren't they??


It reminds me of a movie quote (sort of) "You want a Kawasaki???YOU WANT A KAWASAKI???? YOU CANT HANDLE A KAWASAKI!!!"

Yamahahahahaha's are a great bike, don't get me wrong, they're just not a Kawasaki... Besides they're a "very pretty bike" I've heard some hot females describe them as, but who wants a bike that can be described as pretty (Apart from Honduh riders of course - who want hot guys to notice them)?

Green all the way mate...but don't take my word for it...go ride one and you won't have a choice after that:2thumbsup (Besides...hot girls don't want a guy who rides a 'pretty' bike).:clap:
