Congrats.
Does it blast you with heat like the 899? I love those ducks but some got toasty when I rode them.

Honestly, I've read about people saying that its so hot. Just dont touch that screw where your knee would be under the tank. THAT is as hot as they say it is, other than that, its warmer than normal but nothing outrageous. Not really a bike meant for traffic.

Bought this on friday and drove it 288 miles home.. I didnt think that one through, but it was the most ive ever smiled while being extremely uncomfortable.



I originally wanted a s1000RR BUT i couldn't pass up the deal i got for one of my dream bikes.




no regrats.

Is this a '17 Z10? Because if it is, I just rode my buddies this past weekend and it was probably the scariest thing I've ever rode.

Because too much fun?

Yep yep yep, fz10. Just gotta respect it a bit more than other bikes.

I saw my first one in person a few weeks ago, it was impressive how compact it is, like just a big engine with wheels and seat tacked on.

they are straight up bad ass bikes, they have that four stroke dirt bike sound to them almost, very throaty, very tractor like, but very smooth and flickable. I rode my buddies last year at the distinguished gentlemen's ride, I would have taken my Repsol, but the rules were older/retro/new classic style bikes, although there were guys on sport bikes there, so maybe this year ill say the hell with it and bring the CBR.

Heres the vid from it, such a blast, you can see my goofy mug looking like an Irish pub owner at 0:46 laughing at my even goofier friend with the bow tie, and me at 2:58 ripping on the R-nine-T!

Love the R nineT..

had some time off this week and used most of it getting the boat ready for summer and working on my bike (1977 KZ400).

did the oil/filter/airfilter, new tach cable, lubed everything, valve adjustment, fork oil, new ignition, checked the wiring, finally sourced carb boots on eBay and custom made some airbox boots to replace the old ones, spark plugs, new chain, etc.

Today got it all together, went for a ride... shit, shes still a dog. I mean it's a 40 year old 400cc bike but barely hitting 70 to keep up with traffic.. if it didn't have some sentimental value (got it when I was 15) I'd trade it in..

Went back, disassembled and cleaned the carbs, found both main jets gummed up, put it back together, what a difference! so much better.. feels good for an old bike and pulls strong all the way to 9k.
