To be honest, you're better off spending less on your first bike. I had my Ninja 250 for a week, before I wanted more power. I kept it for over 12 months though, then upgraded to something that feels like it wants to flip everytime I peg it out of a corner. Buy something that's easy to ride, and pro...

I think you'll find it's called a 12A and a 13B. I know there was a 13A, but that wasnt ever released past prototype stage from memory. I own a 1975 RX3, with a 13b.

Bought a new bike!

Well, after lots of debate, I bought another bike! Test rode a few, but this one blew me away!

I'm now the proud owner of a ZX10R! Has an awesome feel on the road, and loads of power. Feels a lot like a 600, but with lots more low down torque!
