Congrats! Great color choice, too. Now if only you could get her a facelift... :D

Yeah, does have that 'pissed off tomcat' look... I'm thinking Kawasaki engineers think that all ninjas are cartoon cats.

Heck yeah, Sammy White's is by far the best bike dealer I've ever been to. No haggling, I mean already it's a great deal... 11.2k out the door, a new Shoei X-11 for $450. I wish more bike dealers around here would pick up that same philosophy. Gotta tell ya, if you are thinking about a Kawi, go to http://www.kawasakicityirving.com If you like the 07 ZX10R you can be out the door new for 9.6k... not bad at all!

Yes, to make it official, I still love the Gixxer best, but I'm just not :P enough to enjoy this year or last year's colors... not to mention those hideous exhausts. And I'm racing my 750, nothing changing there. So I'm quasi-gixxermiester. I'm the diet-cola of gixxermiesters. Just one calorie, not gixxer enough.

ZOMG, this bike feels just as nimble if not a bit more nimble than my 750. I really like the display and tach, the way it shows green for the power band... Mmmm....

That's because it's so weak you can't actually feel the power.

It comes up in 3rd with power alone... no chopping the throttle and getting back on it required ;-)

Oh, and almost 120 indicated in 1st gear. Mmmmm...

Congrats on the new toy but, you should have held out for the Honda. I think it is going to be a hell of a bike this year. The looks are growing on me too. Honda v. Suzuki for best 1000cc this year! :D

Hope you enjoy your new toy like I do mine. Another 10R. Great! You have to get a fender eliminator. They should just start making them a stock thing.

Very nice!!!!!!!
