That Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R 2004, boy, that’s a fast one! I heard from my neighbor’s grandson, he’s all about them motorcycles. Says this one, the 2004 kind, is a real speed demon. You see it comin’, you better get out the way!

He was goin’ on and on about how it’s got somethin’ called “gears”, and this Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R, it hits its top speed in the 5th one. Can you believe that? Fifth! I don’t even know what that means, but it sounds mighty fast. Like a chicken runnin’ from the butcher, I reckon.

They call it the “gen 1” too, this 2004 Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R. Sounds like somethin’ from one of them space movies. This Kawasaki, they were a bit late to the game, he said. Like showin’ up to Sunday supper after all the biscuits are gone. But when they showed up, hoo-wee, they made a splash!
This thing, it’s got an “eletronic limiter”. Now that sounds fancy. It stops it at 186 miles per hour. That’s faster than anything I ever seen. I remember old Bessie, our cow, she could run pretty good when she was spooked, but nothin’ like that! My neighbor’s grandson, he thinks this Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R 2004 could go even faster, maybe 193, without the wind and all. Lord have mercy!
Now, you’d think somethin’ that fast would be big and bulky, right? Like old Mr. Henderson’s tractor. But no! This Kawasaki ZX10R, it’s only 433 pounds. Skinny as a beanpole! And get this, it’s got 162 “horsepower”. Horsepower! That’s more horses than in the whole county fair! Makes me wonder what the top speed of the thing is. I bet it can really get up and go.
He kept goin’ on about the “power” and “quickness” of this 2004 Kawasaki Ninja. Says it’s got “agility” too, whatever that means. Probably means it can turn on a dime, like a cat chasin’ a mouse. I reckon it has to be focused and have “bravado”. Sounds like some words them city folk use. The kid said “attitude” as well. I said you need more than attitude to ride the thing. He just laughed.

The Kawasaki ZX10R is a special thing and the 2004 is the best of the best. It is so popular. Everyone wants one. It has all the speed you could ever need. It will make you feel young and strong.
Back in my day, we didn’t have nothin’ like this Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R 2004. We had our feet, and if we were lucky, a good mule. But times change, I suppose. And these young folks, they like their speed. I just hope they’re careful on them things. They’re fast, real fast. Just remember, being fast ain’t everything. You need to be smart too. The top speed of the thing is not important if you cannot control it.
That is what I say. The Kawasaki Ninja is something I will not be riding. I like my feet on the ground. I like to go slow and see the world. This bike is built for speed. I am not.
This bike is all the rage now. Everyone wants one. It is fast and fun to ride. It is the best of the best. Kawasaki got it right with this one. I do not know what else they can do to improve. This may be the best bike ever. It is a legend. It will go down in history. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R is the best bike of 2004 and many years after.
I once heard a fella say that the first gear on the Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R is crazy fast. First gear? Who even knows what that means? I will say, that sounds just crazy. These bikes are too much for me. I like things simple. I like things slow. This bike is not for me. But I can see why people like it. It is fast. It is fun. It is a Kawasaki Ninja!

Some people say the 04/05 ZX10R is the best bike ever. I do not know about that. But it is a good one. I know people love it. The Kawasaki Ninja is something special. It is like nothing else. I am glad I got to hear about it. It is a real marvel. I will not be riding it. But I am glad it is out there. It is a real piece of work.
