Kawasaki ZX10R 1000

The year 2005 i bought it new now its still like new with 3000!!! miles a mentalist machine.

I traded a 99 r1 for an 04 zx10r and couldnt believe the speed and brutal acceleration of the zx10r. It will power wheelie off the throttle in 2nd and clutches up in 3rd from 80! My brother has a zx10r faf 2010 and he agrees that the 04 pulls a lot harder and feels quicker. Enough said!! Future classic and I wont be selling mine.

this is my first bike and i love it super quick and excellent handling

think i should have started with the 600 but always been one to jump in at the deep end

oh my good god! i have just traded up from my zx6r, and i can't believe i waited this long to change up. the power is amazing and constant! the bike turns with ease very quickly and holds the line perfectly.

downsides are front brakes are shockingly bad. but a set of hel brake lines and 5.1 dot brake fluid sort it out!

if you are unsure about getting one of these, just do it you will not be dissapionted.

Forget the rest. I am a motorcycle nut, i have completely thrashed every major motorcycle ever made. I Have owned them all. R1, Gsxr1000, cbr1000, 999 , in all over 55 bikes. I have been racing for years. I am a motorcycle technician and tyre expert. This is the best motorcycle ever created. If you know what you are doing, this Kawasaki ZX10R 1000 is the only bike to consider if you only can own one bike. I can't describe the awesomeness of this machine. You can go into corners so hard, the geometry of this bikes, its shortness and fork angle means that the lean angles you can get are unbelievable. On other bikes when you'd be scraping your knee, the zx in still far more upright in comparison. The engine is amazing, so free and fast revving, such a light flywheel. Go test ride one, wait until you've got some heat into them, and thrash it on the twistiest, most technical road you can, and witness the unbelievable. The 2004/2005 Zx10r is a god. 2006/2007 are not the same machine.

The Kawasaki ZX10R 1000 is a fantastic bike. Had to wait for them to get ride of that fat, twin pipe back-end before I bought one but wow what a bike. Terrifying and rewarding all in one. Once you get the confidence and start pushing, it gives you so much back. Coming from the six, which was fairly easy to master, it was a big jump to the ten. So much more power, its not funny, but once you learn to give the throtle the respect it deserves, you can really have some fun. It always feels like you've got more throttle to twist.

It looks fantastic once you've gotten rid of the standard exhaust and slapped on a tail tidy. If you leave the CAT in place you can get rid of the exhaust and rear hangers all together, then it really looks the part.

The Kawasaki ZX10R 1000 05 Model is a Beast. Stupid fast, nimble handling, great looks, thrilling ride. Change the exhaust, take off 1 tooth up front, put in a k&n ,add a power commander and off you go. Every gear, every speed, and every ride you'll love it.

zx10r 2008 model orange , paid £7499 old stock 6 weeks ago and now £8999. have fitted HIDS Lights well worth the money and easy to fit. very please with handling and awesome power.

The Kawasaki ZX10R 1000 has great handling, massive power, good ergonomics and brakes. 2005 ZX10R model was the best for lightness in weight and handling. Gear-shift problems corrected over 04 model. I agree, a bike not for the inexperienced rider or of faint-heart. Mine has considerable mods, Power Commander USB, "Thin" Kaw Factory Head Gasket, Degree'd Cams, Factory Pro Velocity- Stacks, Muzzy's All-Titanium Exhaust and K&N Air Filter. Added a steering dampener, lost the rear pegs with a exhaust bracket and added the rear seat cowl. The bike weighs about the same as a stock 600. The term is "awsome" and added a set Michelin PP's to give me my perfect package!

ZX10R is a great bike, maligned as most large Kawasaki's are that they are not as cutting edge as the Blade's, R1's or GSX-R's. Real world biking - days out, 2 hour blasts, touring, track days - more than most people can handle. You can't outgrow a 1 litre pure sports bike. At 6ft 1.5in and 15 stone - perfect fit.
