A 2007 zx-10r, I know....its even kawi green.

Oh well, I will still poke my head in here from time to time, my next 1000cc might very well be a cbr.

Although I have not sold my F4 yet its already sad to see it on the out.

Noooooo... a sad day but nice purchase mate. Looks very very sweet. Also nice to see someone with their lid on the floor and not balancing on a seat ready to drop lol. So, comparing rides... what you think are the main differences?

Comparing.....wow huge power difference, I have been riding this 600cc for years and I had no idea 1000's were so much more powerful. I have ridden a 750 before and did not see too much difference.

The new bike is also quite stable and not much difference in size at all (more because its newer I guess).

Here are a couple of more pics of it.....

By the way - I always ran Rotella T 15W 40 (deisel oil) in my CBR and it worked great. Is there any reason why I should not put in in my new kawi? It has a slipper clutch if that makes any difference (which I doubt).

not ignoring your question but im just not sure of the answer...that kawi is hott...I dont discriminate bike brands cause we all love 2 wheels. Ive owned a few kawi's and I loved the glove like saddle on the 1k's..

p.s
And you have a K&N filter on the trail blazer!!?? bonus cool points my brother
