2012 zx1400 200 plus hp

[DakRatFink]

Boss Hoss bikes can have close to 500hp, and those are more of a bike night oddity to impress people with burnouts rather than a practical motorcycle.

There was one at the poker run I did last week and that was the impression I got from it.

weight and aerodynamics give the crotch rocket style bike s big advantage over the muscle cruiser.

While I won't say I thought it was anywhere near slow I think I know what you mean. It's a stupid fast bike that doesn't feel very fast. It's so smooth and civilized it kind of takes some the "rush" away from flooring it. On the other hand (by today's standards) the Vmax isn't all that fast, but when you crack 100 on it it feels like you're about to lift off into orbit.

Why I'd still have the Z over the 14. Loads of torque down low but still a ridiculous hustle up top. Overall more fun to drive, if not quite as fast.

Exactly :clapping:
The Vmax isn't that fast anymore, but it's still quick. I really don't care about top ending, I like to get from point A to point B in a blink.

A few years back we turbo'ed a friends busa after he rebuilt the engine.
240 at the wheel for normality, but when he would turn up the waste gate, 400 at the wheel. It was a handful to ride, but holy **** was it fun.
