    This bike is bloody fantastic!!!
    In 5 years I've owned a 600f, sv650, sv1000, 600rr, gsxr750, cbr1000rr10 and my r6 2co racebike. I've ridden the r1 and the older zx10, fazers, bandits, GSs etc etc. This is better than all of them. I've found a new love in my life- the nc30.

    :)

    it's an old one (05) 1st gen,the original and still the best :).actually had another for the track aswell for a couple of years,really good track bikes,shit brakes though and a little aggresive on the power,but had an awesome front end,could feel everything the bike was doing.

    i dont ride on the road much,had the zx10r for 8 yrs now,and it's only just done over 10k miles.shame really,but it's not worth selling it,always nice to have a god road bike tucked away for those rainy days (well not rainy obviously haha)
