Re: ZX10R
91db is extremely quite. Road legal limit is 98db I think so 91 with an open can is mental.

Re: ZX10R
Blade , thought you were a Honda man !!! She looks ace, if its a Kawasaki its got to be Green (sorry Kwacky ) , I've still got some fantastic Scott Kawasaki leathers in Green, I think they would fit you .Need a bit of stitching and the odd patch here and there since they were cut off me before they put me in the helicopter.....................................I loved that ZX10 !!

Blade wrote:I'm made up with it, better than I could have imagined and absolutely like new. The slight makes on the swingarm are virtually invisible and I would have never spotted them if not brought to my attention so not bothered about them in the slightest. Truly immaculate condition, even the tyres are brand new.
I have to say I was a bit worried about buying over the phone but its worked out well and the bike is truly spotless.
Looks great mate, enjoy, what am I saying of course you will

Re: ZX10R
Cheers everyone. Don't worry still Honda man Dale I have the SP and that's going no where.
Tbh Kwacky haven't even looked at it since it was dropped of as loads on at the moment. Plan to get out on Sunday or early next week as forecast is good.

Re: ZX10R
That rear number plate needs tidying, Blade.
I'd cut those bolt ends off and fit a piece of black sticky back plastic to the back of it. And get one of the stick on reflectors to replace the one hanging off the bottom of the plate.
Other than that it does look sweet, its not a bike i have ever really looked at in detail before. But yours does look damned good.

I take the reflectors off mine after the MOTduke63 wrote: And get one of the stick on reflectors to replace the one hanging off the bottom of the plate.
Funny how you notice things when other mention it .... the back of my plate is black, that would also make a difference.
Is there a seat cowl available ??

Re: ZX10R
New Plate will be on order next week Duke.
The thing I find with those reflectors is for some unknown reason they have a habit of falling off very easily and TBH I never notice until the next MOT time
