Took arguably the quickest bike in production for a test ride on saturday, the 05 Kawasaki ZX-10R, 184hp at the crank and 370lbs when dry. Was really impressed by the horsepower, lifting up the front wheel under throttle in second, which was about 190 clicks. Was not so impressed with the rest of the bike, not that it was shitty but just didn't have the feel and fit and finish of my r6. Im choosing between the 2006 R6 and the Zx-10 for my next bike. So i gotta decide between brute power and a less powerful but better built bike, gonna be a tough call
