    Update on the ZX10R, having now covered just over 700 miles I have come to the conclusion that these bikes are ballistic track focused tools, and if I have to admit it I bought this on a bit of a whim with a bit of a push from the wife. Having sold my previous 09 Blade which was superb in everyway solo or 2up my thoughts about the big ten are, if you don't take pillions and are a shall we say "spirited rider":D these bikes are absolutely fooking mental, but has the wife comes on the back and she says she prefers the Blade any how :eek: I think I might sell it and but another Blade, so if anyone's after an as new ZX10R Anniversary with a few nice extras for a lot less than the dealer price give me a shout:) or has got a nice mint Repsol Blade to trade in :)
    Jase.

    Madness, OK I should say get the blade but if my wife wanted to get on the back of the bike I Would buy a bike that she did not want to get onto if you get me.

    Bikes for me are my time. But I know this is not for everyone if you get me lol

    Over the years the sports bikes seats get smaller and the wife's bottom, anyway enough of that ;-)

    Depends, really got my heart set on a Repsol, but like I've said depends on extras, mileage, abs or not and of course money ;)

    Wow, not very often that someone admits their current ride is not up to scratch. I feel for you fella hope you don't lose to much cash on the new deal, the Kwak was on my short list but I assumed it would be more track focused, it was also more money than the blade.Have you enquired about new? some cracking deals at the moment.
    Anyway enjoy your new blade when you get it. :)

    Depends on the best deal I get offered, really prefer the Repsol, but I can say it's a lot less than you can get one from a dealer for:) and it's done 777 miles had it's first service and got some nice extras. If anyone's interested in a deal PM me with an offer I don't bite :D

    I have to agree with your assessment Jase, the zx10r is a track focused race animal and the Blade more pipe and slippers;)
