2005 ZX10 vs 2007 ZX10

You think your bikes run hot, my gen1 ZX10 (86 is technically gen 1, 88-90 is gen 2, and so on. mine will actually BOIL the coolant at lights because of how shitty a design the radiator is. its unimaginable.

I have to admit though, the 06/07 models, kawi REALLY went the wrong direction. they look awful to me, unlike the 04/05s which look way nicer. having rode an 04, I liked it quite a bit. the spongy fronts are a generally shitty thing, but what can ya do? its just how the stockers are on that bike.

^^^...See I thought the 06/07 Kawi looked awesome. One of the best selling points IMO, though the exhaust was too fat. The engine/transmission was sweet, but the bike was too heavy and the suspension quite lazy. The bike was refined though.

My GPz-900r used to get hot...check these threads out. It's GPz-900r related but I think the only difference between the 900r and 1000r was the radiator area.
