Hyperbike ownership

[Ocean1]

Out. You were never in.
You cant play if your bike handles well on a very twisty road or looks like a GP bike with lights. If its a light weight rocket then your on a sports bike.

Your comments from outside the circle of trust are still appreciated though.

Dirt bikes on steroids count?

Or do I have to play with the XR200's?

Edit: I've been putting away a few extra pies recently in an attempt to fit in...

[mossy1200]

already got a few bits under the covers, but it's off to Dynoworx in about a month now they've got the new software installed

I had a 2008 silver zx12r. Don't worry your in the zone. I would put the handling at equal or better than the 14r and drive out of corners as more exciting. Nothing like some rear wheel steering with the front starting to lift off.

Im running woolich (they don't do 12r) ecu tuning and PCV just to run the quickshifter. What is the Dynoworx like?

I did a dumb thing on mine. I programme exhaust sensor off but didn't realise it only stops the fuel 1 fault from putting the bike into limp mode. The akra headers have sensor hole so I still had it wired in. The ecu still uses the sensor if its plugged in even though the programming is in off. Basically its just a F1 fault bypass. Bit more grunt now

I been telling my wife I need a 1290r.
She is not happy about orange frame. Ill keep working on her. Maybe a black frame in 2016 or might need strip it and get frame powder coated. Might need discuss this option with TSS.

Join the queue for a 1290 SMT.

Might still be an orange frame, but feel free to join the queue anyway, tell the wife it's the pillion's bike.

Or change the wife's colour preferences.

Or something.

She doesn't ride often enough to force the rear seat comfort card anymore.
The 28k price tag is an issue on the R though.
Idd need sell the café racer and 14r for good money.
Hard to price the 14r. Owes me 32k but likely worth 18-19.
Café racer almost impossible to set price for also. People pay good money for them sometimes.

Leaves me wanting maybe 5k more monies so maybe save for a while.

was doing that sort of thing on The GS1200ss I had a few years back and that was only mildly tweaked, found the ZX has a lot of feedback from the rear & it's just a matter of dialing the spin off the throttle controlled environment only though

Dynoworx is HondaCountry in Ashvagas, just that BP runs it as a separate entity to the main shop & does the work himself...was there when he was getting the #2 superquad sorted for the race to the sky (fitting a new a gear cassette cluster). He told me to hold off until the new software was installed before getting the work done; going to fit a PC V etc.
Should be somewhere similar to the pic

My old 12r was on the Motormart dyno at 167 hp at the rear with only a slip on so 175 shouldn't be hard to get.
From what they said at the time one busa was higher but the rest had recorded lower figures.
14r. Im running a drag fuel map from Brocks on my PCv but the ignition timing, limiter, rev limits and stps etc are on the woolich system. One day ill fork out for some dyno tuning. Ill need let them use the PCv as they wont know the woolich gear or ill need run it and change items myself between runs.

Or ill sell it and get a superduke.

BP showed some of the stored data from other 12rs that had been done there and top spec was 168 for an 05 model (think all had been running PC IIIs & most read around 160ish) so it'll be interesting to see what this one ends up at; really just wanting to get rid of a noticeable stutter just over 4k rpm, the PC V is supposed to be more precise mapping (10 points over 8-9 of the PC III or something?) even now once 5k comes round it's
Hes trying to coax me into a matching ignition module too

Entry conditions- Small amount of handling, LARGE amount of power, some rider comfort and weight exceeds 220kg.

Don't forget, suited to eating miles.

S1000RR has a 17.5L tank.
Hayabusa has 21L, ZX-14R has 22L. Blackbird 23L.

X-11 has 22L, but quoted top speed is 230 clicks... which ain't hyper. Shit, my ZX-6R does quicker than that. Blackbird is 270-280... never mind a Busa/ZX14R.

Blackbird can certainly do 250 indicated with a full load of luggage It's the complete ease that it does speed while the engine is ticking over...

Hey, my BMW can eat miles, 36-38 litres compared to those puny tanks... wait, I came very close to 200kph with a full load of luggage... can I be in this group?

X11 does well in excess of 230kph believe me.

[Stylo]

X11 does well in excess of 230kph believe me.

My old , standard, Bandit 1200 was good for about 230 max but that was only what the speedo was telling me, helmet, arms and legs hanging out in the wind ...

Something to do with aerodynamics, I guess :-)

[EJK]

Come on, 250kph is not even close. Come back when you get to at least 299 indicated kph. "Hyperbikes" are the reason why the big Japanese manufacturers reached gentlemen's agreement.

I had a 2008 silver zx12r.

Production stopped in '06, maybe it had been sat in a showroom a while?

Might be my memory. Must have owned it before the boxer so could be 2006.
