Michigan man.
Hey guy's,I'm chuck from Michigan.I just bought a 2004 zx10 two weeks ago,most folks up here are buying snowmobiles this time of year.It is blaze pear orange with A micron high mount slip-on,Scotts steering dampner,sporttech shield,L.E.D lights and flush mount blinkers.With 4800 miles on it, this thing is show room clean.Now to the good part,this thing is like a jet!I can't help but grin ear to ear when I'm twisting that throttle!This is my first sport bike,I have been riding my Yamaha Vmax now for 18+ years a 1985 first year of production.As most people know,the Vmax is a pretty fast bike but when I ride the zx10 it makes the vmax feel.....well, not so fast anymore.

Crappy and rainy sucks, but 50 is balmy. I'd expect hardier stuff from a Michiganeer!

you know if it was 50 and sunny everyday i would ride my bike but i just put it away for the winter already because on an average week there is only maybe 1-2 good days to go out. Hell i even went out on days it was lower 40s but was sunny out so it wasnt all that bad
