im looking at another wheelie bike, Dallas prices are a joke, isnt there a recession going on? bikes have been sitting on showroom floors for months, dealers dont want to deal, one salesman said $14..500 out the door! LOL retail is $12,800

I have a nice "gently used" 04 that I could let go for half of new - $6400.
It was only ridden by an old man, and just on Thursday bike nights .............

If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.

Wow no 2010 gixxers huh?
A lot of dealerships here in Socal aren't even ordering 2010 bikes. Some still have a full line up of 08's

Word in the community is they're "making" them and selling them. But there will be no physical changes from the '09 with the exception of a limited edition model in funky colors. I think there's a pic of it floating around in the ZX14 forum somewhere

I'm sorry but IMO the zx10r is down right ugly compared to the GSXR1000. the old 2004 to 2006 zx 10s looked good but i could not own one now. the only bike that's more ugly in the 1000 cc class to me is the new BMW the should have made the headlights the same from side to side. my choice if going the 1000cc route would be a suzuki or the R1

I've seen some 07s going for nothing. A good friend of mine rides an 07 gsxr 1000 and they rip. It feels like I'm riding a magic carpet compared to my zx14.

Have you considered a cbr1000? They were selling 08's cheap, if there are any left.

Maybe comments like that are why Rich calls you Busa Bently . You do always speak VERY highly of Suzuki.

What I can't say a zx 10 r is but ass ugly. as far as how they run i would go with the 10 or gsxr first. just can't get over the looks of the 10. and maybe you should call me BMW bently cause that bike is going to rip both of them a new asshole.And why don't you and rich s have a slumber party and find one post out of my 3000 where I say anything bad about kawasaki. I'm just not stuck on one bike like some of you. I have to laugh sometimes, there are so many post on here laughing at how busa guys are stuck on the busa and look at you now, can't even let someone say the gsxr is the better looking bike in there opion. by the way both of my 14's where great bikes and ran hard hauled my non riding ass to a 9.14. my fastest 1/4 mile time to date. so maybe I'm zxbently. also whay not speak highly of suzuki or hond or yamaha which one of those is not a great bike? and yes I favor Suzuki or kawasaki because that's the dealer I worked at for 5 yrs part time and both brands had very low warranty issues.

Easy Bently, don't get so defensive we are just busting your balls.
It won't take long to find a post where you ripped on Kawasaki though as there is one on this page Life is to short bud, if you like a Busa or Gixxer so much I suggest you buy one. Lots of great deals out there. Maybe you and Fish can go shopping together, it sounds like you have lots in common.
As for the slumber party I am in if Nooby is.
