Default My review for the '05 ZX10R




So I had the pleasure of riding an '05 ZX10R last night. It's definately my next bike. Handles nicely, accelerates like a damn bullet and is topped out in like 10 seconds, bouncing off the rev limiter with half the throttle, and not to mention it'll do 6th gear wheelies all day long.

Definately my next bike.

You guys are dumb. Vince was there and saw it with his own eyes. First pass was a 4th gear at 60. 2nd pass was a 5th gear at 90. 3rd pass was a 6th gear at 120. Vince back me up here.

Yea.. 6th gear.. sounded like it was idling down the road at 100.. it's the real deal fellas, when you weigh 150lbs and can use it to lift that front end on a stand up, you can do A LOT with a little.

How?

Bouncing the crap outta it?

Is it geared?

I love the ZX10.... and I agree they are some wheelie monsters.... but man.... 6th gear

Thank you, thank you very much. Aaannnnnd now back to the ing.

Stock gearing. And I clutched it up with minor weight shifting. Once it was up it just rode beautifully.

ummm..... still dont believe 6th gear wheelies on a stock 10.

but why the hell would you even want to wheelie in 6th gear? anything past 3rd is just pointless. why put so much effort into something like that.
