"Blip the throttle--and the quickest, nastiest bursts of revvage this side of a Formula 1 car say third-gear-highside in 16 different languages."

"By 7000 rpm, please be pointed in the desired direction, because by 7200 revs you're there."

"Immediately underneath, the new shift light--adjustable in 500-rpm increments from 5000 to 12,000 rpm--is a nice touch. It's just too low to see easily and largely unnecessary anyway. Trust us. You'll know when it's time for another gear--or clean underwear."

I much prefer the black - yellow was last choice, but when buying second hand you buy what you find.

That was a mint bike. 4,500kms as new condition - never touched by a drop of water. Washed using a special spray, treated like a child by its previous owner. Then I bought it....

Yes. I will own one EXACTLY like yours before I die. Maybe 2nd or 3rd bike. The 03/04 Gix thou and the 04/05 ZX10 are modern classics.

The current litre bikes are too bloody friendly, too comfortable,...don't feel scary enough.
