Well fucking cunt flaps this is the second time i've waffled this post due to a bastard internal server error

I decided on wed that i fancied a new bike. I've had my gsxr 750 for 5.5 years now and it's 10 years old. I thought i wanted a new 750 as 1000 cc was too nuts for the road. I'd only ridden a pals gixxer thou k1 and another k4 and always had it in my head that i was better on the 750. I'm also suzuki/gsxr daft so it made sense.
Went to the showroom and organised a test ride for yesterday. Guy asked if i wanted to try anything else. I sort of fancied the gixxer thou but i really dislike the exhaust at either side

so he said try the Kawasaki zx10R. Now this was known as a nutter when it first came out and has progressed to be the most powerful thou on the market at 186 bhp. Wet weight is 208Kg or so which is nuts. I said i'd try it.
Hauled my leathers out yesterday morning to find they had shrunk over winter



Anyway squeezed in and off i went. I took the 750 out for a good 1.5 hrs. It was everything i expected a newer version to be. Comfortable, smaller, faster, good brakes etc. I loved it.
Got back and was apprahensive about the 10 but thought i'd give it a go. Out i went and found some open road to crack thr throttle open. FUCK ME IT'S AN ANIMAL. I thought my bike was reasonably fast having geared it down but this is a whole other world


I cant describe how straight line fast it is and it has the brakes to match. I felt so at home and actually fit really well at 6ft 4. I was worried it was track orientated and i'd be cramped. Quite the opposite. Gixxer was comfy but more arse up, leaning on wrists. Kwak is slightly less on wrists! SO i was hooked basically!
Who else has had the privelege of experiencing the 1000 cc power? It's hard to explain to non riders.
I know there are cars that can sometimes match bike acceleration stats and fair fucking play if anything gets near this bike
Anyway you can guess what i bought...
