Officially have permission!!
Got permission from my wife to buy the ZX10. Just need to save up for the next month so I can pay cash for it.
Quick question, do you think they will give me a killer finance rate for maybe 3k if I only get it for 6 months? Also, anyone interested in buying an 07 250 with RS3 exhaust and 18k on the clock for $1600?? Posted via Mobile Device |

saweet. i was thinking when i hit 7k on the ninjette i would spring for the zx10 but i think instead im going for the cbr600rr. the newer 600's are insanely fast nowadays and way lighter than the liter bikes

Yeah like 35lbs. So if you weigh 150, get a 600..... if you weigh 200, get the 1000

I asked myself and received permission too!!! Woohoo! Because I'm so nice to myself, I'm going to wait at least a year before I add another to my arsenal though. I'm never ditching the Ninjette. Seriously though, congrats!!! That's very cool. I say you do dishes and dole out massages every night for a month for that kind of treatment.

Congrats. Be careful the new zx10's have insane horse power from the factory. It will be like learning to ride all over again for you.

Local dealer had 2009 green s/e ZX10 for 8,995. That was quite a buy and didn't last long. Kawi rates were a bit higher than others (4.9 for 24 mos).

I have my busa and the little 250. The 250 is a kick to ride and I ride it alot. The busa is also alot of fun but gets me in trouble with the boys in blue if I don't watch myself.

When I saw it in person, I was rather torn. It was ok looking. Different, but I wasn't sure.
I have always liked Kawi green. I'd prolly go with the SE model, because it just looks sweet.

IMO orange is the only one able to compete with green in terms of boner inducing aesthetics

Wow! I know you have been itching to move into a bigger bike.. ZX10 is a HOT bike.. I know a good amount of people will tell you 1K is too much.. but its all up to you.. I was having a conversation yesterday with someone that gave up his GSXR750 when he had his kids... said he never kept it below 8K.. rode like an animal.. knew he had to stop riding...
With my 600 I have never gone above 8K.. and usually I'm between 4 and 6k.. the power is manageable... ride it like a 250 and all is well.. if you need more power.. lean on it a bit harder.. just dont go nuts... if you can control your right hand you will be fine. The 250 taught me to ride.. the 600 has shown me how to ride a little different..

I think I'll be ok on the throttle management. I don't want anything bad to happen to it, so I'm going to keep the front wheel down. I am in no rush to learn to wheelie. I'll never learn to stoppie. It will be my cruiser with a kick of adrenaline every now and again.

IMO the green SE looks much better... But perhaps I am slightly biased.
