My theory is "I will buy a 10, when I can pass all the guys on the 10's through the spur... Until then I am not a good enough rider to use a 10 properly"

Just for the record.....ZX10's (05) are mental fast. At the creek the other week, my mates ten would pull away like i was standing still down the chute. Even if I had a better line and drive out of 12. A few times I actually pulled alongside his ten coming off 12. Then it would just start pulling away....rapidly......not slowly........much quicker.......a gobsmacking difference! :shock:

WOW!!! Bikes in Australia sure are expensive!! 17,000 AU is like $13,060 US...They were blowing out 05's here (San Diego) last year for $8500 + Tax, or 11,000AUD!! I picked up my '05 ZX10r for $8700 and was pretty happy about that.

I'm guessing the disparity between the 04/05 figures there are due to dyno difference more than anything else.

06 has more oomph, thats for certain, but I think power/weight is pretty much lineball between 04-06.

Check out the Dyno Chart thread for 3 of the 4 10's dynoed at the same time...all 3 04/05 models were within 1 hp of each other, but the 06 had heaps more
