04-05 raw angry and fast handling. Engine a bit noisy.
06-07 not as angry, smoother and more too end. Handling a bit slower. Damper is standard but needs a revalve.
08-10 better looking than the 06-07, better brakes, better forks don't think thy made much more power than the 06-07 but?
11-13 more top end smooth power delivery, abs, traction control, better chassis and suspension
Woohoo

Re: Which is the best model zx10?
The bars don't really make much difference for comfort I don't think.
It just changes a bit of weight from your arms to your arse instead.
But I do 500km days no worries.
And from PI to Tintaldra is a decent trek and is no worries with mx bars or not.

Re: Which is the best model zx10?
06/07 great ride, put this bike on the road after riding a 14 for quite some time, thought I would get punished considering I am the wrong side of %) years of age. Took her to and from PI last year with no dramas at all. I was really surprised and could happily do 500 - 600 km days.

'08 all the way.
I could be biased though

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
