There is a thread in the offtopic section I started about it. Should have gone home after work.

RE: 2008 zx-10r
You see the article they had about future classic bikes. The last one on the list is the 04-05 ZX-10.
This is what they said about it
"If you like your bikes on the ****y side, then there’s nothing quite as fiery as the menacingly beautiful 2004 - 2005 ZX-10R. It was the total opposite to the lumbering ZX-9R it replaced, epitomising everything a true race bike should be - light, twitchy and a bit of a handful. Trouble is, it was bloody frightening in the wrong hands, which proved to be the 10R’s downfall, as Kawasaki sidelined it two years later in favour of the watery underseat exhaust version. Once the new model appeared Kawasaki had trouble shifting the original " many were sold off at highly discounted prices.
The good news is the original was only produced for two years, which means there’s a limited number on the market, so they’ll get thinner on the ground as time goes on."
