they set the bar and were often used as a measuring stick against whether the newer R1's were better or not...2001 was one of the best yrs and they are a deal right now...not like the rc-51 which folks think are worth 5-8 grand...how much 3000??????

i like that one and the 1998 ,first ones, alot

You aren't kidding about those RC-51's. Every time I find one that looks like a good deal, it's crashed. I just don't see $6000 for a 9 yr old bike.

Tony I love your R-1. It's awesome that you got an LE and didn't know about it. The ergos on my zx-10r don't bother me. I put 900 miles on it in one weekend. The thing that bothered me the most was my ears, from my helmet.

Josh, could you post a pic of your zx-10r? I'd really like to see it.

Ask and ye shall receive.





As usual, click to supersize.

Nice!! That's one fine looking bike!

Yeah, I like it. Sadly, I think that they got it right with the first gen zx-10r, and the stying has only gotten worse each time. I have hope for the 2011 bike, and I really hope that mother Kaw decides to get serious about some form of road racing.

My beloved ninja feels like an orphan since there is no motoGP effort and the WSBK team is bottom feeding. No AMA support. Our once proud racing heritage is in dire straights.

With all that said, I was actually looking for a R1 when I found the zx-10 and I couldn't pass it by.

Great bikes!

Good luck with that Yammi, those are nice!

I bought a 2000 ZX-6R off the showroom floor, only clocked 3500mi on it when I sold it in 07. It sucks riding solo all the time.

Anyway, the ergos on that 600 were pretty nice unless someone was on the back. Then it was a little bit of a hassle. Great bikes though, super flickable and all the power you'll ever want. That little 600 was more than enough power for me.
