The things you see on quiet country roads!
The 1st one looks to be a late model ZX10R with a akrapovic exhaust system.
The 2nd one appears to be a red and black H1 ZXR750.
What are the chances of these two bikes being captured on video within minutes of each other! :lol:
I don't know how they got those exhausts past WOF with the racket they make at 100 kph :innocent: :innocent: :innocent:

Sorry, I have to say the 10 sounds better... Nothing like a wailing engine revving well into the teens to get the attention...

Agreed, kinda sucks to be him - to prove that sound changes as it goes past you......imagine how the crowd reacted - "Well DUH!"

Wait a few weeks and the ZXR will be sporting new clothes & some other bits:Punk: so it'll be better than before :2thumbsup
That shifty looking character :shutup: had a couple of issues adapting to the ZXR :innocent: :lol:
Tell you what, I'll swap motors with you for that one you have waiting :yes: :2thumbsup

they didn't have kawasaki's back there so there was nothing fast enough to prove it:dodge:
I listened to the 750 first thought fark that sounds nice, then the 10 man that 10 sounds soooo menacing
