    The ZX-10 was my original choice before the VFR crept into the decison making process back in July when i was bike shopping.
    I never actually rode the ZX-10 so i have been wondering for ages was i really missing anything??
    So i went to a dealer this morning (i would not buy from them anyway, farkin useless was they) but i did get to ride a demo 10 for a few miles.

    In short:
    Felt ok, did not seem like i had to lean that much more than VFR but definitely a difference.

    Power-heaps of that

    Brakes- well it's a demonstrator so they probably were not bedded in properly, lacked initial feel and grab of VFR but only doing a short ride and not wanting to bin the bike i only had minor brake applications.

    Heat- especially around the inner, upper thighs. I'm guessing the undertail pipes cause that.

    Exhaust- Had twin Akrapovic carbons on it so sounded quite nice for an inline 4

    Handling - like a train on rails, turns very easily.

    Was it enough to buy one and trade VFR???

    Probably not, but if i was to have a second bike it would be in the garage straight away!!!:cool:
