Some 2006 ZX-10R Real World Numbers and Info! Okay... I just took some real world measurements of a production 2006 ZX-10R. It was sitting right beside an 05, so here's what I came up with...
The Peg to Seat height on the 05 vs 06:
2005: 17 3/4 "
2006: 17"
The Ground to Peg Height 05 vs 06:
2005: 15"
2006: 15 1/2"
The Back of the tank (where it meets the seat) to the steering stem 05 vs 06:
2005: 21"
2006: 22"
Sorry.. I didnt have scales with me. I will try to go back tomorrow and weigh them both . Both bikes are full retail stock production units, and are wet.
BTW... speedo/ tach is actually very very cool... kinda unique.
Also mentionable: About same amount of storage under the seat as the 05 (I was surprised by this!)
Also... rear fender assembly comes off VERY easily... 4 x cap screws hold it in place.. that's all. Easy to get to.
Rear peg brackets come off easily, but right side requires the fabrication of a bracket to hold the rear brake reservoir in place.
I'll write more when I can!
Hope this is helpful to all!

I never had a prob with the reach to the bars, but I'm not a big fan of losing that 3/4 of an inch of peg to seat.

Fish How many times do you need to be reminded that you don't own a motorcycle? You're just an internet Bullie that's all.

that's pretty cool....thanks for the comparison. I was pretty worried actually that the 06 was going to be too tall for me but apparently it's not!

Hmmmm. 15.5 + 17 = 32.5. 15 + 17.75 = 32.75. Not 32 vs. 32.5. Thanks for the info.

Yea I didn't want to point that out. I was playing nice. I figured + or - 1/4" for error. That's why I said it looked like the pegs were only moved up. It really don't matter since the bike is 29 pounds heavier than 05!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was told there'd be no math ... thanks for catching the slip-up!
