My New ZX10R Fell Off a Truck! (Complete Restoration)

[@gsxrman6319]

I bought a 1979 Honda cb 650 to restore and did the same thing , flipped it off a ramp while unloading it by myself. I saved the bike by throwing myself under it on the way down, rupturing my biceps tendon in the process. The moral of the story is let it fall.

[@RKMotorsports]

Ouch! That's the ultimate sacrifice!

[@xvrexzii4715]

Was it worth it or was the hospital bill… an ouch?

[@garymountcastle6657]

Ruptured my right bicep in a not so glamorous way from shoveling dirt. Doc fixed me up good as new. Guess I’m falling apart with age.

[@jouten1984]

Love the sound of the power tools

[@stzw613]

Fall Off a Truck has a whole different meaning over here in The Netherlands!. Great rebuild.

[@owen368]

You mean like the Brits "fell off the back of a lorry" ie stolen?

Thanks Tom!

[@abvevo6406]

The funny thing is I had a 06, 09 zx10r and got rid of them years ago along with my sv1000s. Now, I'm starting to fill the stable with the bikes prior to 2010. Missed the old liters where it was just you and a throttle. Also a cool street cheap mod on the 3rd gens, wire the blinkers to the running lights, and put on 07 cbr1000rr mirrors.

[@evansolomon169]

Just bought an 07 R6 for this very reason. More power than I'll ever use and none of the extra stuff that I'll never use at a fraction of the price of a newer bike.

[@NudaMan]

@@evansolomon169picked up a 03 R1 for 5500 bucks with only 13.9k miles from the original owner who bought it new back in 2003 👌, no rider aids or power modes just me and 130hp+ to the rear wheel 🥲

[@josephabraham9081]

Bro nothing is satisfying than seeing a restoration getting finished ... Putting together that last piece and hearing the engine breathing to life is just wonderful

Thank you Joseph!

[@mrmezmer]

Nice! I was hoping to see this bike get a video. The 08-2010 zX10 gen are underrated.

[@RKMotorsports]

I remember someone commenting that I should do a video of it when it was in the background of my other video. That comment is 95% why I made this video lol. I originally planned on doing this one in my spare time without recording it

[@Sfrasier0711]

Great job! 🤘🏻💚

[@kharri2476]

Wow! All in one video. Great camera shooting and the music was relaxing. Love the Bike and new plastics with that black tank is awesome. Only one thing I didn’t like on that bike, I would’ve changed my self is that green passenger seat. It conflicts color with the driver seat. Black passenger seat would really catch some eyes. I like Kawasaki green, but not too much green even if it there theme color. Excellent bike rebuild, I loved it. 🥰

[@RKMotorsports]

Note taken! good thing I have an extra black seat cowl to replace the seat with!

[@TheFireblade1000RR]

Wow Rob, you do need some help in your shop? It's loaded with work waiting to be done. Keep up the great work.

[@gixxerman]

That was a nice easy fix for a change. Looking forward to the next episode.

Yes it was! The next ones to get fixed up are going to need a bit more work though lol

Wasn’t too sure about the new tank at first. I prefer the green, but it goes with the fairings nicely. Looks real sharp! Maybe you can have a Opening Day of the riding season special where you ride all these bikes (provided you haven’t already sold them). Is that an old DR I see in the background? 😎
