It’s prolly a stolen bike, I’ll see if b5a4 wants to buy it.

I laughed… hard.

Anyway… call him, ask him if its been sprayed, ever had a pciii, ignition controller, etc etc etc…

figure out what the history of it is…

Go ride it, listen to it, and then buy it and sell it when you realize that this bike is 10x the animal you’re currently riding \<3

08-current… those are the gen’s… I \<3 my zx-10r… .but i promise, id be dead if i had it as my 2nd bike… especially after coming off of a zx-6 @ 19 years old.

If not dead, hurt…

ubengineering… please go review those posts… buy a 636 for the same price, throw a damper on it, and go run some track days and hit up a big parking lot to practice stopping quickly and accelerating (if wheelies are your fancy)

YOU DO NOT NEED A CHROMED OUT (sliders, bar ends, windscreen), LOWERED, STICKERED UP, ZX-10R with a questionable history…

I will repeat.

YOU DO NOT NEED A CHROMED OUT (sliders, bar ends, windscreen), LOWERED, STICKERED UP, ZX-10R with a questionable history…

You said the gsxr was too much, too heavy (which is bogus), etc etc bike and you wanted to learn how to ride better/faster/smoother/and how to wheelie…

This bike will not help you accomplish ANY of those objectives. not one over your current bike.

The confidence inspiring 05-06 636 with fresh pilot powers, damper, and a geared up , not incompetent, rider WILL however go much further!

UB, if you want to ride my bike next season lmk, 03-04 body style and whatnot, but regardless, you’ll like it. I would take my bike over having a liter bike any day, it’s just so fun and nimble. IMO, when do I actually need to feel the difference of going 150mph as opposed to going 170mph? That’s why I’m happy with a 600.

The only reason i love my liter is because i live in the land of the flat… my jollies are purely from acceleration and commuting… that being said… nothing is easier than 1st --\> 2nd --\> 6th… and still pull on 99% of traffic while getting 30 mpg without having to downshift.

If i lived where there were ANY turns/hills/etc etc. id be right back on a 600…

lol i was just wondering about the bike thats all, but im startin to love my suzuki it was just a little mechanically challenged when i first got it, i dont think im going to sell it unless someone offers me something,

BUT! i cant remember saying it was heavy cause its way lighter than my old bike, loling at i dont want a 1000cc thread

im happy where i am, i just like to check out other deals going on

and KAT, thats prolli why no ones bought it

i got my 1000 mostly cause i liked how it looked and cause it was cheap

edit: lol all these old threads of mine

edit again!!! all the liter bikes back in 02 only made 140whp, mines just a lil technologically old, i couldnt imagine another 20 hp on top of what i have, the only time i do WOT is 3rd gear an up

04-05 are the best zx10 made IMO. If I were to buy a liter it would be one of those.
