Looking at picking up one these and just seeing people’s person experience with them … I’ve had quite a few bikes over the years (R6,R1,TL1000r,GSXR 600, GSXR 1000, 636 and a built VMAX) and been riding for close to 7 years … 2006 ZX10 w/19kmi $5800 2002 954 w/19kmi $4800 2002 GSXR750 w/5kmi $5100 All three are very clean with minor mods (slip on, chrome wheels, windscreen, braided lines) Just looking for opinions bc I’ve never had these models before Thanks! ---

Did your dad get any pics of the monster bike yet? I still havnt seen it all together! RC51 gets my vote, even though its not on the list. I like the you dont see a ton of them feel of the bike and the sound is pure sex. ---

Some people buy them to commute from traffic light to traffic light in densely populated areas/near colleges/highschools and rev them while said traffic lights are red.
