Demo ride

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!!!

Re: Demo ride

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.

Re: Demo ride

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:

Re: Demo ride

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?

Re: Demo ride

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?

Re: Demo ride

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...

Re: Demo ride

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???????
