New Kid On The Block

Hi guys and gals!
Wanted to say hi and introduce myself to the forum memebers. Previously owned a 2003 ZZR1200 and really appreciated the owners forum site (ZZR1200.net). Traded it in on my 2004 ZX10R in black, wanted a green one but first shipment all sold out in South Africa. Black was second choice or wait for an orange. Whats the concensus on the most popular colour? Anyone got a pic of a orange one?
Anyway, 35 yr old South African engineer and hope to learn from you all and add my 2c worth too!
Mally

Oh good lord, now look at what you've started...tis all your fault too!

Malice - from Korea a warm welcome. I was a big fan of Orange and Green. Went with first in my area while home on leave. Green! There is a really bad ass Orange one on the site or maybe two. Look for Post from Big Daddy. Well, again welcome, enjoy,

See, they'll never stop and before you know it, we'll have lost you to these same thoughts too. Black may very well give you a place to go, just think of all the paved roads in the world... ...But it's GREEN that tells your brain, GO!

BTW; here in Korea, many of the roads in the more uptown area's are being redone with some kind of red pavement. It almost looks like rubber! But it can't be. Last I saw it was the bus lane running thru the middle of the main street. 3 lanes for cars left, 3 lanes for cars right. 2 lanes for buses right and 2 lanes for buses left and the pedestrians load and unload in the very center of the street. Honestly, kind of smartly done...least until some one gets ran over
