My new bike "ShaniQua"

Post by Stereo »

Sorry for the delay in posting this, been too busy riding it...

Bought it a few weekends ago with 6k on the clock.... It is an 05 ZX10R (my favourite of the ZX10's sorry Mike).

It goes like a frickin rocket! Doesnt feel a whole lot heavier then the 03ZX6R I had before this....

I was really impressed with how easy it is to ride, I heard a lot of people saying they are incredibly aggresive etc, but I havent noticed that at all.... its as gentle as a lamb if you dont twist the throttle too much, very user friendly, awesome in corners, very responsive to rider input.... I love it...

It is called ShaniQua because its black, its mean and it wants to be ridden hard.....

Only bad thing I have found so far is that black is much harder to keep clean than green.

Very nice Stereo.

You're right though they are a very forgiving beast, although the last 1/8th of a turn of the throttle is where it gets really interesting
