Well to clear a few things up.
I bought the kawasaki because first and fore most I like the bike and how it fits me. I would like to also point out that gsxr's while nice track bikes are not very comfortable for my intentions and definitly not my style. As for r1's again here I am not going to moto gp ever in my life nor do I care too. So I guess the 10r is what I preffered the most and I have 0 regrets. The bike is a beast it pulls strong and feels smooth I love it, tank slapping has not been an issue (YET) because I don't ride like an idiot.
I stay withing my limits and I don't do anything that scares me. I got 217 miles on the odo and look forward to many more. Oh yah got an aria rx7 helmet (fucking rocks) and some techno leathers.
With all that said I LOVE MY FUCKING BIKE !
