Damn! Damn! Damn! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: As you may recall, I was offered a Blue instead of Green two weekends ago, but I decided to wait for the Mean Machine. Well, I called in at the dealers again today, to be told that I am now TOP-OF-THE-LIST for Green. :P Then, I swear there were horns growing out of the top of his head, as he told me they had a Black 'Un, still crated up, but mine for the asking!!! Oh, the pain. I knew it was a second test... ... which I only just passed. I don't think I can take much more of this... :evil: Should I hold out, at the risk of losing my sanity???

Hold on Zed. Don’t give in to the ‘dark side’ :twisted: You must hold out for the green’un :mrgreen: ….may the force be with you.. :mrgreen: I’m gutted right now, as I’m down in Cornwall this weekend WITHOUT MY 10. :cry: :cry: Still, I gotta keep SWMBO happy, so that I can go play on the track next week. :mrgreen:

Zed just don't talk to your dealer until he calls you to say your green ZX10R is ready to be picked up. Don't give in to the temptation you will regret it :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Until now the waiting for me was no problem, now the weather is improving and I see loads of people picking up their bikes, I am getting anxious man. But it is only 4 weeks from now I'll manage. 8) Good things come to those who wait :wink:

The 10's true beauty doesn't come out in pics for some reason. Only 1 more week left?

I was offered a blue one and just laughed at the dealer. The green is the only way to go! Has anyone bought a blue one without being held to ransom?

DON'T do it. Green is the way forward.

If I wanted orange I could have had it two weeks before I got my black one. I'm glad I held out - I think you should too even though it's painful.

Well lads, here comes easter, and still no sign of her. :( :( :( . To those of you who already have your babes, enjoy the weekend, but more importantly, keep safe - there'll be lots of morons on the roads for the next few days. To those in the same situation as me, keep smiling, and scoff a few eggs!!! :lol: But don't forget to exercise - losing weight is the cheapest form of tuning!!!

heh Zed, don't despair, just realise, we the late comers will enjoy every minute of our bike much more than those that already got it :wink:

Zed, I've just back off my first real blast in dry weather, and let me tell you the wait will be well worth it. It was freezing and I didn't even realise until I stopped to take a leak. The mags all complained that you need to give it full attention all the time, but you won't want to give attention to anything else. Obviously keeping the revs down hampers any real power, so I took it off to some of Surreys finest bendy lanes. I moved to the 10R from a 7RR with jacked up ride height, dropped forks and Oz wheels, and I thought that was sharp handling. Sh*t the f*cking bed, the 10R makes it seem like turning a barge in porridge! Excuse the expletives, but there is no other way to describe it. Everyone here raves about the bike, but you don't really get a clue what they're gibbering about until you ride the thing. The only problem I had after three hours was a pain in my left hand because the clutch was way stiffer than on the 7. However, I'll get used to that. I didn't want to lose the 7RR, but if you offered it back to me now, even with Anna Friel sat on it in a rubber suit and sh*tting gold bars, you could stuff it.

I would have gone insane if it were not for this forum, and the good crowd using it. :wink: Thanks BK & PeteC. I'm sure the wait will be worth it. :!:

yeah you should hold on because i heard the green one is the fastest out of the four. i shouldn't have been scared of the green one cause of the power. i ended up with an orange one instead
