Got a chance to demo an '09 ZX10R, and all I can say is this is the best bike I have ever thrown a leg over.

Great handling it rides like it is on rails, very confidence inspiring comes with Olhins damper very nice. Power everywhere tall first gear and it just gets better from there. Comfortable ride also I got a chance to ride the '08 R1 the day before and the Ninja blew it away. The gear box is where it really shined though smooth from top to bottom. I love this bike!!!

Sure wish I had made it. I would have loved to see what a "modern" liter bike is like...The last I rode was a 2002 Yamaha R1 with "only" 137 hp...Of course suspension has come a long way as well...Maybe next year.

Haven't been able to sleep since I rode it. Been plotting on ways to get one. Damn motorcyle habit gettin the best of me.

The Ducati demo truck will be in Little Rock this saturday...Want to go and feel it out with me? Probably a boring ride down but we can hit some twisty stuff on the way back?:wondering:

I was planning on going to another Triumph dealer with a buddy but that sounds like a plan.

I've been a demo whore this year.


Time/Place?

zmy friends Bryan and Jeff are leavnig H.S. at 9 for LR. I figured if we left at 8 we could get there by 11. Test the 1098 and Hyper tard, lunch it up and then fly West hitting whatever twisty lay in our way?

Speedtrip

Is that Jeff T.?

That works for me, 1098 ohhhh.

smileyman

Yup, The big T. Don't know if he will be Triumph mounted or not...Bryan will be on his Duc SS so Jeff may go with the Hawk...

What is the plan? How about breakfast at the Taco Place around 7 or 7:30? I've flushed the coolant in the Tiger, topped off the tank, and wiped her off.

Enquiring minds want to know???????
