I felt right at home on the Gixxer as soon as I sat on it. I noticed nothing about the ergos.
Thats how good a fit it seemed. Where you don't even give it a thought.

ZX-10 felt wider and higher. It was ok. Just not as good as the gixxer. Felt like it was almost digging in to my inner thighs.
hee hee hee!!! As far as the exhaust goes.... I guess none of you peeped the exhaust on the ZX-10...

It doesn't matter, exhaust is the first thing to go for the most part.

Theres a reason GSXRs are the bike of choice for soooo many people. I felt the same way about mine. Exhausts are easily replaced!

Gixxers are nice but the seat's gotta go........Suzuki always makes thick, squishy seats that creep up into your asscrack and put pressure on your taint. I'd rather have a hard Honda seat.

How come you are going from a sport tourer to a supersport?
Tried the Busa/14?

Lets look at the bikes I've owned
83' CB-750 (540 lb dry - 600+ wet)
85 GPz-900r (500 lb dry - just under 600lbs wet)
93 ZX-11 (514 lb dry - 601lb wet)


I'm tired of fatties.


I'm switching course.
