Re: New toy
The zx-10 is a nice bike. That sucks about you job. I'm sure you can find something you like in your price range.
Is there a kit to mount the tag like that or did you make something. I have seen some you can buy that go under the tail but I don't think it is the same thing you have. I wonder if I can do that with how the exhaust is.

I never got the front tire off the ground. I wasn't trying to but it does not have the power to do it. How many miles does it have. That doesn't sound like a bad price either.
7200 miles, garage kept, D&D slip-on (whatever that is), after market shield & matching HJC Helmet (which i already have).
Even though its a good starter bike, will i be wanting a new one in a year because that one is too weak? Id like my first purchase to be something ill be content with for the next 3 years. I cant forsee having the money to get another bike until then, so id like to have something that has some power to start with even if i a noob. This way i dont feel compelled to have to get another bike. So that being the case, do you still think i should look at getting it, or should i wait a little longer and see what else i can find?
