Re: Perks zx10r review
Picked it up at 5 and just got home,I can only describe it as a little rocket.it feels and handles like a 600 but with a ballistic 1000cc engine.ITs so easy to ride and feels like it could lean forever in the corners,I got my toe sliders and knee down on the second island I got to.The front forks feel perfect nice and plush.THe engine just begs you to thrash it ,it's so addictive
I can't wait to fit on all my bling and go for another ride
when the next track day !
As you can probably tell I'm very happy

Re: Perks zx10r review
Sorry mate the inlaws are here I had to get back,this bike reminds me so much of your 600 it feels very very similar in the handling and how the engine likes to revKwacky wrote:I've been sat outside waiting for you to come round
When do you want a test ride ?

Re: Perks zx10r review
I can put my feet flat on the floor ,on the rc8 I was on tip toe,a few things I need to change/adjust
The throttle has loads of play in it,the gear lever is in a weird position but changes smoothly,the clutch needs adjusting as it snaps open abruptly and feels a bit Snatchy
It really needs stickier tyres especially for the track

Re: Perks zx10r review
The kwak throttles seem to be like that as standard. There's loads on the zx6r but that suits me when I'm commuting on it.
