    Tuning potential must be huge, because 210 ponies is quite achievable without forced induction. And 233 kilos is a bit porky isn't it?

    As a road bike, I'll pass.

    238kgs fully loaded? Seems a bit on the heavy side. Still, I wouldn't mind riding one.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    So it's 40kg heavier than a ZX10 for an extra ~10hp? Not much point to it if you want to keep the warranty.

    A supercharger does little for top line.
    Acceleration is the benefit from a supercharger.

    You're right. I sure as shit wouldn't turn down a go on one.

    But it's also funny that the article is gushing over it's sub 2.5 second 0-100 time. Pretty sure bikes cracked that 20 years ago. Without traction control.

    You seem to be holding a lot of tension in your shoulders. Just try to relax.

    I will admit that progress in a manner that would turn me on has been average since 2005. But what precisely is wrong with that. 'Styling' has been the focus as far as I can tell. The technology is there to make an infinitely better bike than anything on the market. Why isn't anyone doing it? Instead Kawasaki make a fucken heavy not particularly powerful bike with 70 year old technology, then try making it sound new by ceramic coating it and waking about it having spaceship technology in it.

    In the market for a new bike? Love being reminded I'm poor white trash, cheers. Things on the poor front are changing though, so who knows when the market might find me waste deep. Nothing current does it for me though, so K6 gixxer is likely what I'd go for.
