Hi everyone, this is the first time I've joined an owners club/forum, but as a proud owner of a ZX10R 2005 it had to be done. I live in Tenerife (hence the username, my attempt at trying to think of something original!) so, it may be a little difficult to meet up for a ride!! I've lived here for just over a year, prior to leaving the UK, I owned a cracking ZX12R Ninja 2003. I bought my current bike privately in September, 3 years old, mint condition with only 4.5k miles...Its traditional Green, but having loved the ZX12R in Black & Gold, I'm going to reproduce the same colour scheme with the 10R. I'll post images once the work has been done. I use the bike 5 days a week for work which mainly includes; slow town work and short to medium journeys. Obviously, it feels frustrating in town, but once out on the open road, well........you'll just have to come over and sample the roads for yourselves some time.
