Is it wrong to jump from a 250 to a 12??

Nope, power To weight ain't that different. Haha

A ZX10R may be a different story

happy as a pig in shit is a under statement

the last time i rode it was not very pleasant,,,,now OMFG

haven't really pushed it through the corners too hard but hard enough to just about get rid of the chicken strips,,,,,,feels and runs pretty dam good for a bike with 108,000km's,,,,,,,got up to 140km in 3rd and let go of the bars and she just glided along just lovely,,,,,,,on the weekend will be doing more km's and will see how that goes,,,,,,big thanks to Gos for letting me borrow his stock can for rego,,,,,,cannot wait till i take it up to sydney for a run with the usual gang,,,,,at the moment in my opinion the 05 model has much more torque off the mark than the 00 model,,,,,,but the 00 model does go bang in a big way after 6000rpm but before that is a little docile,,,,,if they are put side by side i know that the 05 will get away from the 00 from a standing start but given a long enough run the 00 will catch and pass but would have to be a fair distance,,,,,will get back after the weekend to let you all know if my opinion changers

cheers paul
