Buying a Kawasaki ZX-10R
Well, I have put my money where my mouth is. I put down a deposit (I hope I know what I am getting into LTL ). It will be a black one, fresh out of the crate. I must thank Kawasaki for coming out with a 0 down, 0 payments and 0% at a very opportune time for me to allow me to go ahead and get this bike now rather than waiting until late summer.

I look forward to having it to ride at VIR and the Gap. I am keeping the Sprint for "everyday" riding/commuting and going on longer trips. I am also planning on getting a track SV or 600 for racing/track days. That will likely be this summer at the earliest.

Sweeeeeeeet! Glad you're getting the faster black bike.

BTW, don't you want to keep your FICO score up?

uhh... you make no sense... why is guaranteing what bike I want a bad idea? I would buy the thing outright but if they are offering free money (minus $500 that again I used to secure the exact bike I want), why is that a bad idea?

I've got a cheap little add on you can put in your air filter to give your cbr 5 more HP, just send me 25 bucks...

Sweet deal. Make sure you bring that thing if you venture this way.
