Review by: TulsaT
I have only had my 2005 Kawasaki ZX-10R for a couple of months
now, but I've put over 1200 miles on it. I don't get to ride
every weekend either. So far I love it! I did purchase a steering
damper for it, as it has a tendancy to get a little hairy sometimes
under hard acceleration (when the front-end gets light). It
has plenty of power, I haven't had the opporunity to race anyone,
yet. But I'm sure I'll be pleased when the opportunity arrives.
I remember reading many reviews before I purchased this bike,
saying these bikes have a "musical" engine. If musical means
noisy, then I agree. You can definately hear valve-train action
down there, guess I need to buy a louder pipe so I don\'t have
to listen to it... Overall, I'd say it's a sweet bike, but what
do I know. Winter sucks here!!! I'll spend more time looking
at it than riding for the next 3 months :(
