If you're just going to commute with this bike you'll be in first gear all day long.
Quite the injustice to the bike.

Opinion on 2011 Z10R /w ABS
- Thread starter gobu
- Start date
Oh and one more thing... by jumping on a 10R now you're basically buying a Ferrari and there's nowhere to advance from there. You just started riding and you're gonna miss out on the joys of buying new bikes over the years and upgrading to bigger and better things. Not to mention that you'll learn slower on a 1000 because you're gonna be deathly afraid of it.
Never mind: here is the photobucket link for the damage pictures: http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/Karthigan/Bike%20Accident/
I knew the model number, but was confused what the members were saying here,

So, those will 1000cc bikes, how do the riders enjoy them? By taking to the track? Isn't track insurance separate, because I asked State Farm, they said they don't cover accidents at the track-level.
1000cc bikes, always having a high-rev in the community-zone, is it bad for the bike? cruizing in the 1st gear doesn't sound fun ... so, how do you really enjoy ZX-10R without going at 200 km/h or higher ... (lol, I'll never do that, let alone that 50 over the limit penalities scares me!)

Go for it it will be easy to ride and a huge upgrade. ABS and traction control what could go wrong?
People enjoy 1000cc bikes when they're comfortable and able to handle them with ease. You don't have to go to a track to enjoy a 10, the amount of power available everywhere in the rev range makes it a really fun street bike. But it's also really dangerous and if you don't know what you're doing, you better take it easy for a long time until you're comfortable with it.
This again just shows how little you know about what you're thinking of buying.
Buy a 600.
right, nevermind the superior brakes, suspension, etc on the Zx10R
Yep, more inexperienced jargon.
There's no such thing as track insurance.
Just because you can do 165kph in 1st gear doesn't you mean you have to be in 1st gear all the time. I'd usually ride around in 3rd or 4th gear in town. The good thing about a liter bike is that you can loaf around town at 3500rpm and it won't fall on its face like a 600 will.
Lol.. look at this guy tryin to get up my face!
A good rider on a 250 will be faster than a bad rider on a 1000. A good rider on a 600 will be faster than a bad rider on a 1000. A good rider on a 1000 will be faster than a good rider on anything else.
The 1000s can be extremely unforgiving but for those who are able to ride them well, they are hilariously fun bikes to ride and are perfectly capable of being as fast or faster than anything else in the tight stuff.
^^ wait, you mean to say that its the rider and not the bike?
:lol: poor djbordie's head is gonna explode
I've been sayin it for years... and most people who own 1000s will agree. They're excellent all around bikes and wayyyy better streetbikes than 600s will ever be. Nothing beats being comfortable and confident on a 1k.

superbikes are for girls.
@caboose483: thanks for the clear-up, I knew about idling, and what gear to be on and not, its just I didn't want this post to be blog war against different CCs and comparisons ...
From your signature, you seem to be riding ZX-10R, how's it goes for you? All is well? How is your experience with maintance with the ZX-10R?
I know for the 2011 ABS is something new, anything new always have issues the 1st round when they are produced, you can get it with or without ABS, anything you would like to tell about the ZX-10R from your personal experience?

I don't think this guy's purchase is about being practical or buying a bike he thinks is the next logical step after a 250.
Maybe Im wrong but what I see here is that this guy wants to buy a toy, a really expensive, really fast toy. Whether its used in the way it was intended to be used doesnt really apply here. Whether he's ready for it doesnt really apply here.
He wants 1000cc superpowers, not ordinary 600cc powers.
Does it do the bike an injustice to drive like a weiner in the GTA? Of course. But there is lots of injustice in the automotive world that we must all just shake our heads out. Just look at every person thats bought a Bugatti Veyron.

He wasn't specific about the kind of advice he was looking for.
I owned a ZX10R for a while, it was a great bike... but I was already experienced with big bikes by that time. I took the usual slow progression through the ranks until I got up to liter bikes. It was more fun and more rewarding that way, and you get to learn quicker when you're not having to walk on eggshells all the time worrying about your bike launching you to the moon with its 180hp. I'm fairly sure that most people here will agree that the best/smartest move he can make is to buy a 600cc if he wants a supersport. The difference in power going from a 250 to a 600 is monstrous and he needs to understand that he won't be disappointed.
