AntR1,

How many miles have you got on those boys now?

The 2009 Yamaha R1 has definately made some interesting changes.....no thought of updating have you?

I think they are going for around the 700k THB mark?

I couldnt seem to find a price anywhere for the Kwaka.

[AnthonyR1]

hey neverdie,

my R1 has 14,000KM on it. I don't know what the kwak has as it belongs to travelmate :-)

ya, the new R1 is pretty out there. yami has taken a lot from the motogp version M1 it seems. i'm extremely happy with my '04 and don't plan to upgrade, beside 700 - 800k is pretty rich considering i wouldn't appreciate the changes unless it was a track bike...i think :-)

they have added a new 'drive mode" which is like built in mapping so you can select riding styles, that would be a nice function and i THINK they've finally added a slipper clutch on the '08 or '09, 1 area where yami has been a few years behind the rest.

i don't think the kwak dealer is selling the ZX10R new in thailand??? there were a few about last time i looked and i think they were just under 800k as well.

Yes, Anthony. It is 2007 ZZR1400, Jap/Euro version.

[AnthonyR1]

^ wow, that's some machine!

[neverdie]

AntR1,

I Dunno about the R1 2009 because I obviously havent ridden one....but from all reports the way in which the new donk fires can only help in getting the power to the ground, bit smoother perhaps & yes a slipperclutch - foolproof!

Travelmate,

Thats a nice looking 10, you've been playing with the brakes, or did you buy it that way?

[CroBiker]

^ wow, that's some machine!

Hey thanks Anthony but that ZX10 beast of yours is faster then this one on racing track.

[neverdie]

Crobiker,

Years ago a mate of mine had a ZZR1100, he had played with it a little bit, nothing major & one day I took it for a spin (at the time my ride was a ZX6R) and I opened her up on the highway & I can only describe her as the MASTERBLASTER!

I believe those ZZR1400's are some improvement

You blokes are really starting to give me the a good ole case of the s#its with all the awesome bikes & now I have to toddle outside and change the spark plug on my 150, then open her massive 2hp engine & get excited!

Yeah ZZR1100 is awesome bike, had 2 of those back in 90's. You can say 14 is second upgrade after ZZR 1200

[AnthonyR1]

neverdie.....definitely looks like they made some improvements, faster and lighter as well.....just what's needed hehehehe

crobiker

travelmate's zx10 is without a doubt a killer on the track :-) still though, would like to see that 14 in action

[Travelmate]

hey neverdie,

Last time I checked was showing 11,000kms. But that was some time ago.

Yep bleed GREEN Fastest colour.

[neverdie]

Yes Crobiker, I remember it when 1200 after the 1100, I just never had the pleasure!

The ZZR1400 is a much nicer looking machine than that aweful looking Hayabusa.

Ur right Ant...just what the R1 needs, more rear wheel HP & a bit of weight reduction....

Since ive got no real bike @ the moment...I will just post a picture of my dream bike, just because its beautiful

Uh, yes...I just realized bike belongs to travelmate, my apologies.

Sure guys, if we ever see each other at some bike meets you can have it for spin. I sure like to try those 2 babies, never had a chance to sit on R1 before.

Yep here is the ZX10R at track.

Travelmate,

Thats a nice looking 10, you've been playing with the brakes, or did you buy it that way?

Brakes are Brembos calipers, with galfer wave discs. Using a brembo master cylinder and goodridge stainless steel brake lines. Awesome stopping power and feel

Yes serious SERIOUS brakes....the brakes are something I always attend to, even the standard equipment is so much better when you put the stainless steel brake lines on. I am imagining you're brakes are probably out performing your tyres...GOOD STUFF!

[Travelmate]

Ants running new rubbers.

Mine are track tyres. Totally shagged I may add. They need replacing soon. But reckon can squeeze another ride outta of em early in the new year.

I'll be keeping Ant's R1 honest for sure...

The advantage is the feedback. With so much feel can bury the front tyre into the tarmac...

[CroBiker]

Travelmate, my ZZR is without ABS. Any advice for break upgrade?
