Battles of the 1k liters

Its been a hell of a season, riders pushing and pulling at each others ego.  Trying to put their point of view out there of which is the better machines.  The seasons over and still, nothing was said.  But, I do have some  insights on the new machines coming out for the 2007 and also some acknowledgements to my Fellow riders.

First off the spec for the 06’s are on the bottom of this post and hopefully much will change for the 07 models.  Lord know we like the new and improved toys.  My acknowledgments goes out to riders that I’ve riden with before and think they are the best qualified to run with me using the specific brand.  So follow along with me:

Jer-z; 06 Kawi-ZX10 reppin DaRockAllstarz in Far Rockaway put much needed control and focus in his riding.  He has improved over the past years, developing his corner tactics and speed control.  Well, lets be real, the corner tactics yes, he has no control over speed.  He’s like a bat out of hell.  But seriously, if I needed to run a Kawi ZX10, to see if I’m up to par, Jerz would be my man on da ZX10, everytime.
