DG....went riding yesterday...some New 06's in our group. first- our fastest rider has 06 GSX-R 1000. Two of our riders have the Kawai ZX10...this is the deal:
Mark who has 06 Suzi wanted to ride my bike. so i agreed to switch on my favorite fast canyon. I didnt like the way the Suzi fit. but i will say, he had made adjustments with bars, and i actually fit into the bike. I felt "high" in the saddle (dont like that)...the brakes were unreal...felt i could stop at any speed. the motor was explosive and would Rev up in any gear at any RPM....meaning the motor was quick and light feeling- almost twitchy but controllable.
Gobbs of power. however- i was not overwhelmed by it...the 06 produces more than 05 .... the bike was a good ride, but it felt like a great streetbike. My bike feels like a Race bike...i would have no complaints about the Suzi...i ran her the best i could for it not being my bike and spending only 8-10 min on it. It simply does not feel good to me, thats all.
Mark got off my bike and asked, "What the fuck did you do to this thing, its a monster?"...
I was in shock...Mark is never impressed with anything at all. he said, "Goddamn bro this thing is sick!!!...whats done to it?"...
Some other guys chimmed in and said, " See!!!, we told you PBR's bike hauls ass!!!...so now everyone wants to ride it now....so here we go- i get on an R1 and we take off.
Quintin gets off my bike- says "Bro- do not sell this bike....i dont know whats going on here but i guarentee there is no other HONDA RR that runs like this one"....
I knew my bike was very fast, Mark is the guy i raced. we both agreed that im geared too high right now to get full potential out of my motor...
Somebody was having a good day at the factory when my bike was built...Two mechanics from Honda have said the same thing about my particular bike-we will be holding on to it....
next week i will test out the Kawai ZX10...
