I think you will enjoy it a lot...I still miss mine!
Hey you know where I can get 94 parts and up for cheap? I have a 91 but want to convert it to a 94+ because I can not afford to just get a whole new bike and if I can get all the parts used or salvaged from somewhere I think it could be done for a reasonable cost.

Exactly what I was thinking. The OP didn't come on here and say he wanted to grow into a ZX10R as his first bike.

to the OP.

Thanks for the compliments, next thing I gotta do is get some gear. Do you guys wear leg protection? I'm not thinking about it immediately but in the future. I see they sale armor jeans for like $80 or do you think I should just a protector thing that goes under normal jeans? I'm thinking armor jeans.

I was going to sell, but decided that with a little work I could go to school and have my bike. Yeah my communication sucked for awhile, my girlfriend also dropped my laptop

not quite sure. I think one of the cables that goes from the handle bar. I think i yanked it out of the screw in posoition. Not sure if that makes any sense, didnt really spend a lot of time looking. I'll check it out when I get to see it again, I dont think its nonthing too serious.

If it is on your handlebars it is most likely very very very serious.
