HOW "small" DO YOU HAVE TO BE?
What's the maximum size you should be to ride the ZX10R? I wonder, cause I've never really owned something that "small" as far as bikes go. I hope I don't get dissapointed cause It's too uncomfortable being so small and all. I'm 200 lbs and about 5'10" would this be agony after riding high perf 12's since 2000? anyone?????

5'9" and 215 lbs (nekkid). I'll just have to deal with it and adapt.

6"1", 185 lbs of pure man meat. All arms and legs.
I've spent a lot of time on the 636. Really not too big a deal. For me, it's very tolerable in the mountains or on the track when your climbing all over it draggin knees and such. But on a trip to the mountains, by way of freeway, it gets a little cramped. Soo...... since the 10 is close or slightly bigger than the 636, that will give you an idea.
But really, it just ain't gonna be extremely comfortable. You're going to be in the attack position with lot's of weight on the wrists. Thems just the way it is on a sportbike/racebike.

6 foot 256, im a bodybuilder and dont have any problems with these bikes at all. Just feels like a little toy underneath you, can throw it around easily. My gixxer 1k was plenty comfortable for me, so people that say there to small just are used to bikes to big.

I am pretty sure the ZX10 will be "more" comfy than the Gixxer 1K....but still somewhat racer prone....If you catch my drift.
