Default About to buy another bike

I was looking at these two bikes. Just wanted to know what you guys thought.
The red one is a 05' ZX10 (used 5,000 miles) and a 06' 1000RR (new 0 miles). I know the obvious choice would be to go with the RR but I love the color scheme of the ZX10.

My boy who sold me my current RR bought one of these after he sold me his... (http://www.racereplica.info/DSCF0259%20(2).jpg)

What can I say, this is a Honda forum, but Kawasaki is the only otherbig 4 manufactureraside from Honda that I'm dig. I'm gonna get blasted for this, but I would give them both equal consideration. What you really need to do is get a ride on each one and decide which feels best to you, because they are both amazing rides.

The only reason I'm entertaining the ZX10 is b/c I've never seen that color scheme before. Looks sexy!!!
I'm going to a stealership in about an hour in Bensalem, PA. Anyone heard of East Coast Cycle Center??
I've been riding a F2 (my first street bike) going on 2 years now but got on my cousins 07' R1 and was instantly jealous.
With that said, I need to stop being left behind on the highway. LOL

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to upgrade to a liter bike?

Brandon,

The most obvious reason would be top end.
A little more horses for my 6'3 265lb frame.
Plus my birthday is next month, figured I'd treat myself.
The F2 is a great bike don't get me wrong. I don't plan on selling it. Maybe use it as a trackbike.

Oh almost forgot, went to the stealership and the bike had a sold tag on it. But supposedly some guy was going to get it last week. I should know something by the end of the day though. Plus, they had 07s for $500 more. I can spend $500 in a night going to Atlantic City!!!!

Both very nice bikes, and the Kawi is a definite contender.
