What year was the best 10R build?

Hi everyone, i don't want to sound like i'm taking sides for the '04 Zx10R (I owe a black '04 ZX10R) but in my opinion i think that is the best 10 ever build. I love the beast in that bike, if you aren't carefull she will throw right of her back. The '04 is the UNTAMED version of all the years that followed. This 'course is just one persons opinion, all others are welcomed. Let see if a clear winner comes out.

Peace

I think it depends on what's important to you. I love my first gen and there are things I like best about it, but there are things I like better about the other two as well.

I like the 06-07, but as Jess says, it goes to what you want.

I like how everyone chimes in stating their year is the best.

I haven't ridden any other than my 05 but appearance wise I think the gen 3 has too shape of lines and the gen 2 looks a little fat, thanks to the undertail cans. Also I like my completely digital tach.
