zx10r riding position

[gunn parker]

Hi All
I am just wondering if there is a huge difference in the zx10r riding position as far as the bars go compared to my 9?
I am wondering if there will be a lot more weight on my wrist and elbows on a 10?
I will be mostly commuting, occasional weekend hill run and maybe a couple of 100+ k runs now and again

cheers guys

The Tens are so tiny, you won't even notice you're have a bike under you

Probably not a like for like comparison because I don't know what the newey's are like but back when I had my 05 ZX10 I'd previously had a 98 ZX9 and I found that for me the 10 was more comfortable. Strange I know but I think others have found the same thing. I don't think weight on your wrists is the problem. I had more issue with my old farts back.

Which model 9 and which model 10? I've had a '99 and '02 ZX9 and '04 ZX10 and my wife has a 2010 ZX10 and they all have a different riding position. The 10s feel so much smaller than the 9s did though. If you drop the pegs and lift the bars a bit on the 10 you can make them a lot more comfortable.

Hi
I have a 99, zx9 and I am looking at a 2006 or 2007 zx10.
I did not know the pegs where adjustable? and is there room to lift the bars much?

[Nelso]

Pegs are only adjustable if you replace them with rearsets.

Depends on the model how high you can go with the bars. Between 1 and 2 inches higher than standard.

ok, nice. cheers

Cant compare to the 9 but the 06-07 zx10 was fairly comfortable with rearsets as previously advised. Up to 1000km in a day on the odd occasion
