ZX10 too small shocker
« on: March 15, 2008, 11:05:47 PM »

Well given my recent thread about the 05 models it came to pass that I definitely dont fit and wouldn't be comfortable for the longer distance rides so I ended up replacing the Triumph with this...



Collect at the end of the month, I can tell you that taking it on a test ride when it was raining on only my second ride of the season was a bit nerve wracking. Enjoyed it tho.

Yes G you're right the seat is low but there is an absolute acre of room to move about and the screen is wide taking more windblast off my shoulders. I can even get down behind the standard screen completely  :shock: Not sure that it will be quite as involving as the 10 would be but remember I've still got the B1 for scratching and the track so I still get the mad Kwacker experience  :-P

The 6 is the track beastie and it still give a few thous a surprise (plus I'm not sure my throttle control can handle a thou on track)

I am 6 ft 1 and ten foot wide and the ten is lovely  :tongue3:

I'm deffo a bit wider than you I reckon I would do well as a spinnaker if needed  :emb:

and change that dustbin can  [whistle]

Yoshi is on the cards don't worry

The consensous in 04 was that it was a better bike than the new blade and the zx10.
