New 10R for Gunner
Just picked up a new GREEN 05 10R today to add to the fleet. One 12R had to go so that leaves me with one of each now. I felt like I paddled a battle ship out to the dealer and rowed a dingy back home!!!!!!!!! Holy shit man it's a HUGE difference!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tell ya what I like this thing already and all I've done is ride it home from the shop. After some work on it already in my shop to rid it from blinkers and rear fender etc I was out cleaning up the shop and moving the bikes around. HOLY HELL I never realized how heavy the 12R was before. It feels like the damn brake is on when you push it around compared to the 10.
As far as the deal I gave my 2000 12R and 4 k dif OTD Tax and tags included. There's lots to the story of the 2000 12. I gave 6k for it and removed 3k worth of extras and put on my other 12R. And still have a Akrapovic and Dino Hinge to sell so it will end up being even less than that. So the way I see it I have 7k or less in the 05 GREEN 10R! Shweeet 
Some days the Sun just shines on you and this was one of those days.

Hello Gunner !
It's your "Bear stacks" friend from Sweden.
Have you dyno the zx10-06 yet?
If i'm not loose my job i might buy the new zx10-06.
I also notice how light the 10 are compare to the 12,
i went to my localshop a couple of weeks ago to buy a Doublebubble and they had a
zx10-05 there and i lifted it up from the sidestand to sit on and i thought i lifted a little 125cc bike or something. holy shit how light they are compare to the 12.
How will "she" be compare to the 12 on the strip if they are stock wheelbase.
Does "she" have a shiftlight on stock, not aftermarket that you put on ???
best regards from C. Lang

Lang, how are you my friend? My 10R is an 05 and it's only got 25 miles on it right now. All I've done is ride it home from the shop. Although a friend of mine has a stout 10R that I've rode and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!! It rips the 12's guts out most everywhere  I love my 12R and it hurts my feelings to addmit these things about the 12. I've considered keeping both, but the 10 requires a completely different riding style than the 12 and I figure if I try and ride both I'll ride neither very well, and possibly fall down on one or the other. So at this point I'm not sure on many of the things you have ask.
