Hello and welcome. I'm pleasantly surprised at the number of other sportbike riders joining this board.

Man, you musta done some work to get that much hp at the rear wheel on that ZX10!

Have fun, Mark H.

Yea it had some work done to it! I'm happy about the switch tho. Most of the guys I ride with are on Harley's.. No one wants to be the lone sportbike!!

Sounds just like me. I came off a 186whp 09 zx10r and got my 2012 Fatboy Lo. Way less power but im really enjoying it. Now i can ride slow and still have fun lol

Yea I love it. It was my dads bike, he got a new 2012 roadking classic, made me a deal I couldn't refuse, so here we are!

The bike has a lot of extra also, three seats, bags, back rest, lots of chrome, 95in kit, progressive suspension, not a mark on it.
