Bought the ZX-10R, here's two quick pics of it. Got all the original parts with it too including the crashed fairings. Didn't have time to go over the old parts or the bike in more detail but so far everything seems great, very happy with the purchase.
Original color was all black. Also the front tire had 2012 marked on it... surprised that the previous owner didn't drop it, lol. I'm already a little worried about riding on tires older than 3 years but 7 or more is crazy town.Congrats, looks very nice! Are the crashed fairings a different color?

All about the weight ratio. My WRX only had 265hp but it got off the line a lot faster than my 310hp IS350F.but each time I get in it and stand on the gas for a bit I'm thinking 'nah this thing is still pretty quick.'

The nature is already waking up. 10C seems the new normal for the next weeks
Is this a good deal?

So I've got a question for all you motorcyclists:
Do any of you ride with GoPros or other cameras, and does anyone here upload riding vids to Youtube?
A lot of my friends have been hounding me for over a year now to buy a GoPro and film rides I go on so they all can watch them. Today one of my coworkers tried to convince me I could make some money doing this too. He has a sister who has a small sewing Youtube channel and she makes a few thousand dollars a year from it. That's not something anyone could make a living from but extra income never hurt either!
I know there are Youtube biking channels like 44Teeth and FortNine and such, and I have zero disullions that I could post content to get any substantial viewer base or such, but can even small Youtube channels with paltry subs and such still make a little bit of extra cash?
If it could pay for gas and the GoPro itself then frack why not give it a shot, LOL!
Been away for a while, very disappointed in myself on these warm days that I never finished the ZRX back in the summer when I had consistent days I could have worked on it. Good news is we got our offer accepted on a house that has a 2 bay garage building, which will heavily motivate me to finish getting the bike together if everything goes well with the sale. I'll be super excited to get back on 2 wheels. It's been too long!
I used a GoPro for personal use. Just to go back and watch my videos and share with friends. I found it to be too much hassle, having to make sure you have enough SD cards and batteries and switch between as needed. Then coming home and watching your footage to edit/pick out moments, etc. If you're going to be doing it as a monetary YouTube thing, it may be very time consuming.Yeah, maybe motorcycle touring videos just aren't popular enough to garner a lot of clicks to make any money from it, lol.
Still, it might be fun to give it a shot. And like I said, as long as I make back the price of the GoPro itself then it would at least be a very low investment earning opportunity. Failure wouldn't cost anything but time in that case.
It's an interesting thought exercise. I need to meditate on this a bit more....
I ride with a Contour Roam 2 for post-crash forensics, no interest in uploading, doubtful much money to be made in such things.Do any of you ride with GoPros or other cameras, and does anyone here upload riding vids to Youtube?

Edit: the wobble is gone! Bike was slippery for the first 20km cause of the protective wax residue, but the 50km after that felt so damn good. Like a whole new bike 😍
After my little accident fall 2018, my trust to my S21 was gone.
Option 1 might be easier on the wallet in more ways than one. Healtier too. Which reminds me I really need to start cutting some garbage out of my diet. I'm not overweight, but all these croissants can't be doing me much good.
That's what I decided on, hopefully works out
Not having to spend £800 on new leathers is a good motivation! Looks like we're in for a lot of cold weather in Britain so I have time.
Currently waiting on a delivery quote for this '17 RSV4. Excited!
Won't know for sure until I get to ride it myself, but the previous owner was oblivious to that (if he wasn't lying) and rode it fine like that for 2-3 thousand km's. I'll definitely take some measurements and make sure everything is as it should be when I put it back together. I didn't notice anything else wrong or broken after finding that and inspecting everything else around it. Looks like the left clip-on took most of the damage or something. I have all the original broken fairings and the damage didn't seem bad enough to cause something like that.Goddamn dude, that must've been quite a spill. Headstock and frame alright though?
Very sexy!
That's quite scary. Good thing you found it! You think it would've held much longer like that?Had a nasty surprise with the zx10r when taking the front end off to service it:
Looks like the clip-on dug in pretty bad when the bike was dropped. Seems to work fine, but I'm not taking any chances with that. Luckily found a used left fork in good condition for only 100usd on ebay (postage was almost as much). OEM upper fork tube on its own is 400eur :|

Still an awesome bike Microsoft. Always reminded of Kaneda's bike when I see it.
The importance of great tires everyone.
Interesting. I can't imagine the S21 ever doing me wrong. There was nothing else at fault there? I don't recall exactly what happened.
