We have opened the new classifieds with updated software. Unfortunately, the old database was incompatible with the new software so we will have to start from scratch. We will be keeping the old classifieds online for a week or so to enable those who still have ads on them to move them to the new classifieds, but after that, the old classifeds will be no more.
The new classifieds are located at http://www.motorcyclephilippines.com/classifieds while the old one is at http://www.motorcyclephilippines.com/ppclassifieds.
Again, report any bugs to us so we may resolve them ASAP.

Development of the new ZX-10R began immediately after the introduction of the 2004 model. Nearly every part on the new bike has been replaced or revised.
The architecture of the 998cc inline-Four shares its bore and stroke with the old powerplant, but it’s been thoroughly tweaked with the intention of providing a more linear powerband and a stronger midrange without sacrificing its walloping top-end hit.
