04-05 10 is the most insane bike i've ridden, i loved mine. If u do get one put a steering damper and a 190/55 rear on it if it hasnt already got one.

its a vibey noisy bike. The 04 zx10 loves new tyres. especially the likes of pilot powers or Q2's for the road with the taller 55 profile. to make them hadle sweetly , try 5 mm of fork gold showing through the triple clamp. Also it needs ride height added to the rear under the shock. I think I added a 15 odd mm nut and took the stock spacer but other people can reccomend that. -1 on the front helps as well. I just went 1 up on the rear and moved the chain back in the swingarm for more stability. Ill keep you posted how it feels.

Mine is dropped 5mm at the front and jacked up about 15mm on the rear and -1 on the front as well. They are all good mods for this model, it will feel far more responsive if you choose to do them.

Brake upgrades are good as well. Ive got the brembo mc, braided lines and nissin callipers and its two finger braking at the track.

I have the Brembo MC too with braided lines but still have standard calipers and it pulls the back wheel in the air with two finger braking so I'm not bothering to change the calipers.
