Kawasaki ZX10R in Isan

[MickeyKnox82]

Hello, I 'm lookinf for a Kawasaki ZX10R to buy new or newish in Isan. I think the guy in Udon Thani does NOT sell imported bikes.

As far I know, there are only he 1000cc Ninjas available.

 

In Khon Kaen the same I guess.

 

If I can't get it in Isa, where in Bangkok do I get the Bike?

I found only Siam Big Bike. Are they good? Any experience with them?

 

I found another link in this forum from Kawasakibigbike thailand, but the link is dead.

 

Thanks for any help.

theres a new green one in the showroom at rama 9

only 629k  

[MickeyKnox82]

Wow. That sounds good.

So, on Rama 9 they usually do the big ones right?

Looking actually for the white model

 

 

I just looked at the Kawasaki Site, and 629000 is for the Ninja 1000 which is NOT the ZX10R Model.

 

On the left is the Thai Standard Ninja, The white one is the zx10R.

Kawasaki Thailand doesn't sell the ZX-10R. Red Baron has a 2014 for 810K on the floor:

Thanks for the links.

810K sounds a bit over the top. I think they should be somewhere around 750K ???

But thanks....found a nice second hand one on sbs superbike....

Confirm that it's not one of the neutered models that was sold in LOS 4-5 years ago (after dealing with many angry buyers, Kawi dropped it from the Thailand line-up).

Thanks for advice
How many HP does the neutered version come with?

The orignal 2008 should have 201HP ?!

That I don't know- if it was Japan-spec, it would be ~120hp. It might have been an import model and it's full-power, but if it has a green book you can check the provenance and see if it came from Kawi Thailand.

think you may have your figures mixed up can't ser s 2008 model having 201 bhp

[RubberSideDown]

About 160hp (+/-5 depending on the dyno) at the wheel- ~180hp at the crank.

There are some charts on Google images.

It's an extremely fast bike.

Oh I no it's a fast bike ,was only thinking that 2014 litre bikes are not hitting 200 bhp so an 08 model hitting 200 seemed strange,but yeah your right the ram air system does improve it,however I don't thi k you wod see that reading g from a dyno run,but hey 188 without the ram air is more than enough

I don't know where you get your figures from but they seem unrealistic for a 6 year old bike.

 

The power created at the crank is completely different from the power created at the rear wheel. It's when the rubber hits the road that matters.

 

If this bike is dynoed unless it has been modded I doubt it would produce much more than 150BHP RW BHP.

 

Plus it's not all about maximum BHP it's how and when that BHP is delivered as you can see from the chart.

 

150 BHP is still plenty of power and with mods that could be increased. Please remember that these charts err on the high side also. They don't always use a fully loaded dyno.
