Oh shite, you're a confident one!

**The Joka** · 27th September 2007, 22:29

only after having a quick thrash on a couple of sixes and then a Busa which scared the shite outta me...

Still learning to handle the ZX10 but getting there real quick chicken strips are narrowing... But bloody commuting is pain in arse! Just wanna open her up!

**Mr. Peanut** · 27th September 2007, 22:31

Yeah, would be frustrating in town. Personally I'd get something I could wring the tits off!

**discotex** · 2nd October 2007, 10:29

If I was going to make the 250->1000 jump it'd have to be to a K7 GSXR-1000. At least then I could glue the mode switch to pussy mode for the first 6 months

If it wast the last bike I'd ever own it'd be a thou but I want something to look forward to.

Well thought I would give you an update...

Been loving it! She handles like a dream I haven't had any serious issues...

Although I did bin her --- Really slow speed!

Was trying to be a hero and went out in SUPER HEAVY rain.. Coming up to some lights and a car stopped on green! I braked as I had loads of stopping space but ended up aqua planing and binning! Did a bounce and broke wing mirror .. with a couple of scratches.. BUT otherwise sweet!

Loving her at speed though!

Yeah first F'n day the bastards got me - the guy that hangs out on the Ngatea straights..

Pulled over to let me past so I did - stuck to just under 110km no prob.

Got to Ngatea and got a weather report from Coro which wasn't best turned around and he must have decided to head into Ngatea cause he was loads closer than what I expected... got pinged at 122kms - lucky really could have been worse

Do it mate

- forget what everyone tells you!

I knew I would have got bored on a 600 so went the whole hog... I am still learning to control it properly now but at least I didn't waste money buying another bike!
