yeah, i used to have '06 636 and it was fun for stunting, but sucked for high speed. i could only get like 157 out of it. of course it was geared down up for stunting, but only a few teeth. not i just want something i can cruise on, but hardcore stunt on too. im going for the 05, i like that years styling and power. anything after '07 is ugly to me. and f*ck traction control on a bike... who does that!?

Anyone who has ridden an 08' or newer ZX10R can testify that it is truly an experience! LOL. That thing is a beast! The front end tried coming up on me at 140, then at 180 when the handlebars were still loose, I had to get out of it. Too much for me, and besides it aint even my bike. Couldn't wreck my boys bike, cause I sure don't have the money to replace that thing! LOL.
I've had my GSXR1000 up to 201 before. But my handlebars stopped getting light after 130. LOL. To have that happen still at 180, nope not for me! LOL.
As long as the bike feels stable I'll go as fast as it will let me, but his bike was too much bike for me. LOL. Anyone who rides that thing and thinks otherwise is nuts! LOL. Even the guy who owns the bike thinks it's too much, and he's been riding way longer than me. LOL.

I got a legitimate question on those roll pans though, mine is a steel piece do I have to primer that, or will it not rust? Maybe a dumb question, but I was thinking I might have to. It's gonna be a while before I get that painted. Having a friend weld it onto the rockers to make it one piece. Gonna sand down those welds and use body filler to make it all smooth as glass. (Got a couple creases on my body in some spots, gonna have to the same to them. LOL.)
