dont start about those bloody crosses

I like my ZX10R
its like a bloody addictive drug
its small feel is deceptive though,
you learn the meaning of throttle control real quik
try opening it up in first on a motorway onramp
its like pulling the pin on a hand grenade

I'd love to get on a 1000cc bike a ride it to it's limits, but I don't think that would ever happen... Maybe on a 600cc though

If I can open up a 1000 and handle it.... so can you.... :spudbooge

I would like to take a R6, R1 or a triumph daytona for a ride and take it to the limit, just so that I can say I did when people ask.

Why, you ask? Why?!?

Because I can. (Actually, I have a vague suspicion that's what I said last time I replied to this....)

OK.
Try this then:
Because my wife made me buy it.

Do I use all the abilities of my PC? - No.
All of its software's features? - No.
Do I drive the car flat out like a moonshiner running from the Feds? - No.
Do I eat all the food in the fridge everytime I'm hungry? - No.
Do I utilise all of my considerable intellect every time I get sucked into answering inane questions like this? :spudwhat:

Hahaha, I must say, well done.

I'd say my XS1 was far beyond the abilities of anyone on this board,to extract the max out of this bike takes big balls.

Hey FS;

It's that blue thingie in my avatar.
2001 VFR800.

While I don't believe in names, for some reason all my bikes have taken on their own persona when Ive been on a forum for long, apart from the VF500.
The VFR750 was variously SluttyFartBlast, FartySlutFeast, FartySlutBeast, etc.; the VTR1000 was FahrtSturm, and now the VFR800 is the LuxoSport (but only in my profile thingo - it doesn't quite feel right, but I don't have a better monicker yet...)

Sheesh! You sure love your VF/R's! It looks very nice, onya!

**almonster** · 18th November 2004, 16:49

for me i would rather push my limits not the bikes its safer

Try riding a 1995 KX80 with only a years experience. I shouldn't of been riding that thing, let alone racing it, for at least 2 more years. It was damn good fun though learning to ride on it.
