Re: zx10
Yeah I hear those are a lot more wheelie happy than the new R1s. They're awesome track bikes, and great bikes to do 130+ mph stand-ups with, although NOT a great bike to actually stunt. So I don't think they will be the next 900, 929, 954 anytime soon. They just fall apart to easy...

Re: zx10
ya the kawi frames r junk. ive got a fkin 03 kfx and the fkin frame is beginning to rust where they arc welded it to the front bumper mount. im guessing it will crack soon if i come down from a whoolie to hard. if it does, im driving the fkin thing thru the dealership window on my lunch break.

Re: zx10
there not junk.. but like most people said. they are meant for track(high speed) racing.
not omg i wheelied it in first and it came up to far I hit back break and look @ my frame.
if you get one its badass for highway stuff just reinforce the subframe and frame. who cares about adding more weight.. lol make it 500lbs just reinforce it and have fun
