They did a nice black and white but I think that was for the US market only

Not sure as its alleged to be lacking in mid range but not taking too much notice as its a 1 litre rocket ship at the end of the day.

Green for me as well, its faster.
The white one has a reflector on the front mudguard, making it heavier and therefore so much slower :)

White on black buddy. You'll be blending in with the hedgerow as you zip past at speed otherwise...

So it's the ZX10R then, not the S1000RR?

I'd say go with your heart not your head on this one and enjoy!!!

Why don't you wait for Cornish to get a new one then buy it off him 2 months later at a knock down price when he's bored of it?

Apparently its the gearing that makes it feel lacking in the midrange as it has a very close ratio box. The dyno curve does not show it lacking in the midrange (although no class leader, far from lacking) so the gearing ratio does make sense. Apparently changing the final drive ratios helps massively. Pb had one on longterm test and I have every issue so loads of really useful info on which mods to go with.

Nice beemers Duke thanks for sharing but mileage too high. I want to stick below 4000 miles and 2 years old which there are plenty about that meet that description.

I nearly moved on a 12 reg s1000rr with 6000 on the clock with loads of great mods adding up to over 2k for £8250 but it was snapped up before the guy returned my call. Sold in a few hours as was a mega deal.
