Always wanted a Gen 1, still the best looking ZX-10R imo, and I love the raw feel of it. Owned a Gen 2 (2007 blue) many years ago.
This is a 2005 with only 1300 (!) miles from dealer in GA. Apparently the original owner was in military overseas and barely rode it, then let it sit for many years. Gas tank was rusted (cleaned and professionally re-coated with Red Kote), fuel pump was gummed up (replaced), injectors weren't flowing well, and secondary throttle plates weren't plugged in for some reason (!)...so I had my work cut out for me, knowing nothing about these bikes, but's she's running awesome now and pulls like an animal. Already has 41 tooth rear sprocket and smog pump block off plates installed. Exhaust valve still works. I'm leaving it plugged in - seems to have a bit more low end.
It took me almost two months to get it running right but worth the effort. $6k OTD, and dealer (Freedom Powersports) was kind enough to reimburse me for tank coating, new fuel pump, and injector cleaning.
