The BMW 1000RR has woken up the sleeping Japanese bike makers. I think we will see quite a few 200+ HP bikes out in 2011.

I do believe your right

yep horsepower has hardly changed since when the 1ks first came out..

until now

omg i cant wait!!

I reckon the ZX10/GSXR1/R1 has always been sleeping giants.
I've lost count of the times I've seen these things crack the 200 mark on the dyno at a friends tuning shop, all with just a exhaust system, filter, PCIII and 2 hours of fiddling.

But unlike BMW they have normal clutch set-ups, so don't reckon the S1 will rule for long. Funny what happens at the Japanese factories when someone else wakes them from slumber.......

EU is requesting the French government to remove their 100hp restriction, that might have a good impact on the European market too.

 

[old timer]

If the EU raise their voice at the French government they'll just surrender like always and give in...:baby:


...next...

Each country can keep national exceptions, but until now they didn't prove that the 100hp restriction was reducing the number of accident. So They will have to give up this one.

The side effect is EU will also request ABS system for all new models imported.

It means Gen 1 owners might rush soon about getting vboost setup since it might become allowed

Someone I know needs to buy one of these, so I can take a ride on it.

I think the Vmax is a pretty darn quick bike, with 116hp shoving 600+lbs full of gas around. Here we have 210hp pushing what, like 450lbs? Talk about a rocket sled.

Man, at what point do these become un-streetable? I'm all about excessive HP, but whats the point of riding a bike that you can't even go WOT in the first four gears without ripping the front wheel off the ground and will have zero HP or TQ under 10k. They may be great for the track, but I want some low end torque and be able to pin the throttle for my daily rider.

I'd still ride the piss out of that thing if someone gave it to me. :eusa_dance:
