Re: Perks zx10r review
Sounds like there's enough to play about with to make it your own after what looks like a very good long ride home!!

Re: Perks zx10r review
Looks really really smart, Perkles. I'm not a big fan of Japanese styling but that does look good.

Re: Perks zx10r review
Very nice perky looks the part i think the exhaust would not be so bad if it did not get so big at the end.

Good spot Duke, yes it is. I knew they were similar but hadn't realised they were almost a mirror image if each other.Perkles wrote:Yes I think soduke63 wrote:Is that the reverse colour scheme to Blade's bike?

Re: Perks zx10r review
I went for a little ride,I've adjusted the throttle and it now gives instant response,I'm getting used to where the gear lever is.as I ride it more.The gearing is that tall you only need 2nd and 3rd on UK roads,I love the induction noise its immense
I am getting the feeling I'm going to really gel with this bike
