wanted to introduce meself and say hello!. my ZX-10R (in black of course) has landed in the shop but i wont be able to pick it up untill next thursday :( due to the easter break. I am more excited than a excited person that has overdosed on excited pills!, dead nervous about it too for some reason!, reckon i'll be shakin like a shittin dog when i first get on it. I have part ex'd my TLR and got a good price for it so am a very happy chappy at the mo!, can anyone tell me the MAIN differences i will notice going from the TL to my new baby? i have a feeling i will notice the reduced weight the most, we will see!. I'm booked to go to the nurburgring on May 12th for 4 days, so hope to have it all ran in and ready then i can give it the REAL test around there. One thing i did notice when sat astride it in the shop, is that the front end feels very light, now this maybe because my TL was quite stiff with the stock stearing damper on, and maybe with the ZX having an aggresive 'jacked up' stance i may not have a problem, again, we'll see! ok i'll shut up now, i tend to get a bit carried away when excited, so i'll go have a ciggy and calm down again!. cheers for now Pimp

That must be absolute TORTURE having to wait till next Thursday knowing it's in the shop but believe me it will be well worth waiting for :D Have a greenie myself and it's the absolute dogs danglies just hoping for some decent weather this weekend to clock up a few more miles. Anyway when you get it ENJOY as I'm sure you will!! It's one mad piece of kit! :x

Hi Pimp :wink: Welcome to the forum mate, and enjoy your new P&J 8) as for the front end...it is very light, as you will soon find out when you twist that throttle a wee bit :twisted: :twisted: :mrgreen:
