    no, my level state of mind would not allow it. I am not a dealer, I will not sell someone the bike just because they want it and have the money. I would rather keep it and continue riding it than sell it to a novice, knowing that this bike will run with/outrun many liter bikes out there, to get killed on. I have too much self respect.

    That thing would look so sharp if you could some how incorporate like an '05+ front end on it... Good luck with the sale.

    no, its not a turbo. but i have outrun many liter bikes on it. up to @ 2002 year models.
    yeah you can die on a 600. however this is my bike, this means i have control over who I sell it to.
    why would you turbo a zx10r? those are sick as is, now its just a straight line, or drag only machine. imo if you want to go straight, buy a cruiser. sport bikes are made for the twisties.
    but everyone is entitled to their own ideas on what they like.
