Travelmate Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) ^^ Gauge stop reading at 299km/h. As a rule of thumb. Green is faster than Blue. Edited December 29, 2008 by Travelmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 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. Theres a lot of detail in bike about the new crank firing to 'smooth power delivery to the wheel' which I wonder how much that would be felt by a human rider v a track god. Also I cant help but wonder about reliability and crank balance with a 0 90 180 270 degree firing pattern, surely that has to create additional strain over the 2 pattern 180 degree ?? hel_l of a machine tho..

AnthonyR1 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) thaigerd ^ that's a great pic! sorensen i've had mine up to 275 or 280km or so...was more than fast enough for me so many different reports about top speeds on an R1 or a ZX10 out of the box. once you start modifying then the speedo gets a bit out of wack so hard to say with accuracy.....but i THINK most of the liter sportbikes hover around the 300km mark.

You would think that they have tested that motor enuf by now to see if there was any alarming signs, I havent heard anything negative about that motor.

AnthonyR1 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 all that M1 technology probably translates well to road/track but i worry about bikes that are over done with electronics...especially if you require service in thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverdie Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hey Ant, I dug around for you and found you a bike without electronics (has spark plug if that counts) I can just see you cruising to the office on this baby; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverdie Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I dunno, its like an old Indian, old norton, triumph, something like that....it actually looks like the pipes of an old speed twin, but im not sure. Perhaps you could ask AntR1, hes a lot older than me ....he was probably pulling wheelies on one of these before i was born. MJP, might be another one, hes an old motorcyclist from way back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
