My new black 2006 ZX-10R...
is being prepped right now...

I pick it up in a couple of hours


I think I am going to go with the Akra Carbon bolt-ons.... saves me 1k over the evo system. Plus no PC-III required. I can use the $ for other items.


Pictures to follow...

No PC required. Of course, a PC would still help smooth things out.

Just helping you get started on the mod justification.
Congrats.

It isn't 1000 bucks!

I'm not sure it will be absolutely necessary. Who REALLY needs 170 hp?

Don't answer!

Re: My new black 2006 ZX-10R...
OK, got it home a couple of hours ago... then we went out to eat sushi. mmmm rainbow roll...


So I have about 15 miles on the bike... First impression: whoa... this thing can move. Very compact. Smallest bike I can remeber being on. High pegs, low bars. Not a bike I would want to go cross the state on. Lots of power. I never got above 6k and it was quite nice. Smooth shifting, brakes work well, the tach/speedo are very trick. It does have a sort of 3-D effect. Easy to read. The fuel injection seems to work very well. Umm... that is about as much as I can absorb in 15 miles.

A few quick photos before I had to go to dinner.
