Washed The Bike - Just An Excuse To Post Pics

[sorensen]

Nice pictures. How fast can bikes like that go?

^^

Gauge stop reading at 299km/h.

As a rule of thumb. Green is faster than Blue.

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..

^ 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]

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

[JimsKnight]

Bitchin' pics there R1, bit too pricy for me at the moment otherwise I'd look into getting one...

[neverdie]

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;

[Travelmate]

^

What bike is that? Cannae see pic is too small for me to work out what it is?

No electronics.....

[neverdie]

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

Dat's ma style baby YEAH!!!

(Which end is the front?)

[Travelmate]

No wonder I can't make em out. Them bikes are way before my time.

Perhaps AntR1 can shed a light for us boys.

[neverdie]

Its good of AntR1 to open this topic so we can all give him a hard time about his age, while he's off at work....to busy to defend himself....now if only we could replace the engine in the R1 with a Honda Wave jobby for his trip home

Hey neverdie....what about his age, guy is only 40-42 right? I know certain someone in that age group, not feeling old at all...

[neverdie]

Yeah hes 42.

They say you're only as old as the woman your feeling......perhaps ur age should be gauged on the year model of ur current ride....feeling better

I suppose if he is riding an R1 then it safe to say he is just a whipper snapper!

R1 = especially when you ride a pencil like me

The "Master" on the left gets only beef, the other ones are eating normal dogfood.

We were trying to figure out what a couple of the old bikes were....thought u might of pulled a few wheelie's on them when you were younger.

Other than that I was just dribbling over the bikes.....you mean to tell me you slept all day

no, started off being a productive day...then a couple friends decided lunchtime beers would be a good idea. things went downhill from there. luckily 'someone' drove me and my car home only slept for 4 hours

[neverdie]

You are an evil man....sorry I have been busy with a serious WACKO in another post....I have never, NEVER seen someone like this before.

[Lickey]

I have to be a bit careful washing my 48cyl 2 stroke Kawasaki, getting the plug leads wet and looking for a missfire can take 2 days!!

[AnthonyR1]

^ now that's a serious machine
