Andy-No-Knee Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 And not only is it good value for money, you can be taller than 5'5" to ride it. I'm 5'10" and it was very comfortable, and a mate was 6'2" and was still ok. Its a high bike. Mine was a 2000 RSVR, with the full Olhins pack, carbon everything and big airbox!

npotts Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 not bad for such a exclusive bike, no match for a jap 1000;) One question Jamie - werent you tempted with the 05 ZX? All Ive read and heard about the 06 one, is that its not as good. Did you look into the Gixxer? New Blade? Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick dont belive what the mags say, they get paid to say shit like that by the bike companys and they get free bikes;) 06 is a faster better bike imo, i test rode all three and i felt most comftable on the zx10r, at 6ft 5" i found the gsxr and blade a bit cramped;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat on the new ZX at the NEC bike show, but cant remember how it felt. Being 5ft 10 size isnt too much of a problem for me however. Track day sounds good. Im doing one on the 2nd August at Donnington. I will have a look at that link you sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npotts Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Never heard of Ladysnoots, but they look awesome. Seems like a very good price too for the hire. We should get something sorted guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to decide what bike to use on that site. They do the kwak ZX-6 and the R6's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
