    Thoughts do I get a new ZX10r or do I spend some coin on a better rear shock for mine and possibly new fork internals as well as race an old carbed zx6 with my mate on one as well?? plus buy say a DC5 intecgra type R lol

    Im proper lost as I really like the new bike and think with the new suspension alone it will rock but at the end of the day I own a 2014 ZX10 it aint exactly an old scrapper lol

    I'd go the other route and go race with your mate, and upgrade the shock on your current ZX10R.

    It ain't exactly slow is it really.

    I will tell you what it is... Stunning looking but boy out the box it feels heavy!!... Compared to my new superlight Blade... They might well have given it another 15 horses but it's going to need them to live with the blade... It's all about the power to weight!!

    I ran mine back to back with one that had been worked on including cams head work And fully mapped with 197bhp... Let's just say there was nothing in it all the way to the top! We even did roll on's etc and he couldn't loose me!! And having owned two ZX10R's the blade has it licked in midrange on a standard bike! Period

    For now, yes Scoobs, guna run the new'un on Track in road trim minus mirrors that's all.
    Ordered some spare wheels so I can run dedicated Track rubber, bar that it'll be stock.

    Gota new Van coming March the 1st also, so just couldn't afford 2 Bikes as well.

    Next year however............................................ :D

    Nice enough, but rather have the bike just behind it - the mighty ZZR !

    Rear shocks do pop up for sale for your current ZX10R. I've seen a few over the last couple of weeks on another forum.
