Sure bro no problem...

I'd love to help

It wooped all those boys I was with the other day.

Every body jumped up at the end of the ride and said Kawasaki is King!

I never had any challenge the front position even in tight ones!

Have a great day kevy10

night and day compared to my 01 G1K (and i loved my G1K). in comparison to the 10R, the gixxer felt big and heavy in turns, did not like to change position in the turn as easily or confidently, gave little feedback from the front end, overall gave me a floating feeling in the turn...the 10R is planted, gives tons of feedback from the front end, changes lines with confidence, and feels much more stable than the G1K in turns (not what i was expecting from the lighter, smaller bike)...the 10R feels like my old cbr 600f2 in terms of front wheel feedback and size but with the power of the G1K...i have never ridden a bike that has handled as well as the 10r or that has felt as stable in turns

Dont buy a 10 unless you think you can really handle it.

After throwing the 12 around for 3 years now - I almost feel like I need ta learn how to ride again.

The injection is seamless (thank God) and the bike just begs for twisties.
