KAWASAKI ZX-10R
As soon as I had ridden my mate’s 2011 ZX-10R, I knew I had to have one. I just fell in love with it. His was essentially the same as this model and I couldn’t sleep for thinking about it! Less than two weeks passed before I started looking for one, and once I’d started looking, that was it – I was going to have one. My nearest dealer didn’t have any, so I went over to Colchester and bought one from them guys. I got the train down to Colchester Kawasaki and picked the bike up brand new in September 2013, then had to ride it back all the way to Reading in the pouring rain – I know most people would be in tears at the thought of their brand new bike going out in the rain, but I couldn’t be happier, and I smiled all the way home.
It was black and green when I got it, but I wanted to liven it up, so I bought Tom Sykes WSBK graphics, with all the number 66s and stuff. In fact, I had the green headlight covers, green leathers, you name it – but then it got a bit much so I thought I would tone it down a bit with the black.
