I recently sold my gixxr750 and have missed a streetbike ever since. i logged about 11k miles on it without any major issues, never went down, etc...
So as im looking for a bike i come across an 04 zx-10r. looks to be in great shape and i have read up on the bike a decent amount, but honestly im not entirely sure i want to base a decision just on what magazines and such have said about a bike. What do you guys think about the 04 10r? any issues with them? anything i should be aware of? and most importantly all i read is it has gobs and gobs of power. now control is something left to the rider, and i believe just about any bike can be held undercontrol,but i wonder if the bike is too much to go out on or if thats more for noobs to say its got too much power?
let me know what you guys think.

 

the 04, 05 the front fairing is held up only by the ram air tube. hard wheelie landings have been known to break them, thus fairing resting on the fender. i had an 05 fun as hell with all the power but went back to a 600 cuz it has more usable power in the twisties.

 

Don't think about it, just do it..LOL>> I have an 05 & no issue what so ever.
