Interesting CV. Had a 2nd gen ZX-10R for a long time, and still really like the clever design, but I admit the 1st gen is much more iconic. I absolutely hated the 3rd gen and on Ninjas, at least until 2018 or so when they fixed the lines and got the seat/subframe back to the right size.

The less said about the ER-6n the better, though...

Damn. I have a legacy of his (2004 ZX10R).
