Re: 2016 ZX10R

... Imagine a zx6r looking like that with a turbine in it. Oh my. you can change the suspension but cant change the engine rods or pistons,thats why road bikes are becoming more powerful.They need to be almost as powerful in stock trim as a wsb bike otherwise they would be uncompetitive

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Took the 748 out for a thrash round the local backroads this morning. Was having a lot of fun until coming out of one bend was a big tractor with long trailer pulling out of a field gate and blocking the whole road. (shocked) So glad i have improved ...
