New bike questions
Well i will be looking to buy a bike in a few months"saving for down payment" and i have been reading reviews and everything trying to get as much info on the bikes as i can. I reaaaaaally like the zx10r and thats the top on my list right now. I havent been riding for a LONG time or anything "2 years" my first bike i just sold a few months ago. a 93 yamaha 600 Turd. however i have riden a few other bikes trying to decide what i want. R6 i liked OK and was nice doing stand ups bit twitchy but still did good. I thought it did good in the corners also but i didnt feel all that comfortable in pushing it in the tight stuff. honda 600rr DID NOT like the riding position and the power just didnt seem useful at all. 954 this bike has olhins rear shock race tech fronts and several other mods. I REALLY LIKED THIS BIKE and i felt real comfortable throwing it into corners at over 130. And the power was pretty good also. Didnt do any wheelies or anything on this bike tho ecept floating the wheel under acceleration... I plan on getting a 900rr or 929 for a stunt bike so im looking for something i can hit the back roads on and will probaly be doing a good amount of highway time also. There are just SOO many bikes out there i cant even come close to deciding what i want to drop 11 grand on
i have searched and read some of the thoughts on zx10 r but that was a while back. any help is appricated thanks!

My 
is that you should go with what bike you like. All of the bikes performance are about equal and you'll probably never reach the full potential anyhow. So go with what you like and enjoy... :YEAH

Re: New bike questions
Well bro if you get the ZX10 make sure it has the recall fixed first. They recalled all of the US models for a problem with the front wheel.
P.S it's alot of bike also i rode my buddies it does roll-ons in the first three gears no problem.
Peace,
:YEAH
