  • 2004 ZX-10R Road test - Nice read.

    Good review on the 2004 Ninja. BTW had a chance to see one in the flesh on Sunday. Didn't have a cam on me, no pics.
    One cool machine for sure.

        I somehow don't like the gixxers much.. Except the Busa which is a different beast altogether.
        But the ZX10R is a looker. This guy had one in Orange, and it looked real sweet.
        He had changed the tires for a stickier compound and was telling me that the major challenge when riding this bike is to keep the front wheel on the ground.

            Will try to get them this weekend. We have this little place called Royal Oak Downtown, a couple of blocks of restaurants, pubs etc... Every weekend all the Bikers (and car freaks) get together over there to show off their rides. It's pretty cool actually.
            This kwacker is a regular over there.Will take my cam with me.
            That whole place is filled with Busas, kwackers, ducatis, Yams and every other concievable bike. Haven't seen an Aprilia there though. And some real cool custom choppers too.
            Apart from that the cars are a delight too.. There are two vintage Mustangs (both orange)and a custom Dodge Viper (apart from hordes of regular vipers)that are regulars at that joint and a lot of other sweet machines. Thursdays are good at that place.. Not that many on Sundays though.

                    Man, I was talking abt getting the pics not the bike.


                    However, I'm a bit concerned abt your ratings...

                    You placed these 2 bikes above the ZX10R, and I'm not sure on what grounds.
                    GSX1000???? It's a piece of junk(IMHO).. Hope u meant GSX1300R (the busa)
                    CBR900RR??? It's a 135BHP bike... Most 2004 bikes will kick it's azz.

                    The R1 is a good bike in its own right, but will be beaten by a Busa in a straight line run. I don't see the Busa anywhere in your list..

                    The ZX10R has the best power to weight ratio of any bike.

                    Sorry bro, don't mean to be a nitpicker, but get ur facts right.. And while I'm at it, u might want to put in Ducatis and Aprilias on that list.Hope it was a typo on ur end..

                    Peace.

                          Ever since I saw the zx10R in the autoExpo this year, I had a feeling it would do just great. Reading abt it confirmed my thoughts. Now the reviews just say it all- every single one of them for the 2004 bikes...way to go Kawasaki..surely, "let the good times roll"!!!
                          With great power, comes great responsibility- to man, machine and especially to mother nature.

                              ah no Ace , the R1's supremacy ended in 2001 with the Gixxer1000 . New model year , new king . This time it's the Ninja 10R . MCN has a 2005 Gixxer1000 pic - it's ugly but said to make 155rwhp , more than any of the 2004 1000cc-classers . Enjoy , the shootouts , I mean !
