Hi all,
I have just sold my 1999 CBR900RR Blade and am on the lookout for another bike. I think I have narrowed it down to the ZX10R or an R1.
ZX10R - would either be a 2004/05 (preferably 2005 as I believe they have an upgraded gearbox) or, if I can't find a good condition/mileage/low owner one of these it would be a 2008 model (so I am going to miss out the butt ugly ones).
R1 - looking at a 2008 model again. Don't know an awful lot about these other than what I have read, seem to be reliable and good fun to ride.
I have never had a Yamaha before so that appeals to me. However, I have always had my heart set on a ZX10R and that is the way I am leaning at the moment. My first bike was a ZX6R (F3) and I loved it. Bought it when it had about 16k miles on it and sold it years later having got it to 55k on the clock. Not interested in another Blade at this point and I just don't like the GSXR's.
Anyone have any advice about either of these? Anyone owned one, or both of these, that can give a bit of an insight.
Thanks.
