[zadok]

The upcoming R6 plays a nice tune.

ps. a bit slow loading.

All that noise, and the speedo didn't get above 000 kmh.

Sitting on a dyno , wouldn't you think ?.
Thats massive rpms for a 600 !

sounds like it blew something at the end/red line..
Mooch, my redline on the 636 is about 16,500. So to redline around 18 is huge! Be interested to see the dyno sheet

[Mooch]

Nah , it just bounced off the rev limiter / then closed throttle , I must be getting behind the times , 16,500 -18,000 on a six hundred , thats a lot of piston speed ! . No wonder they are get similar power to the Duke.

they can scream their little lungs out.. I've set my fun indicator (aka shift light) to 12,000 which is the lowest it'll set to, but also where the power curve really starts to pick up around there. I looked on a ZX10 the other day, and it red lines at 12,000!

That's slow nowadays. My RF redlines at 12,000. Wonder when we'll start seeing the 1000s redlining at over 15,000?

might be 'slow' but they don't hang around to show it.
Don't MotoGP bikes get to 18,000+? Could be mistaken..

The thous have a lot more bigger parts to chuck around. I'm sure they don't make them 'slow' on purpose..

I saw chris vermeulen quoted as saying the rc211v revs 3000rpm more than his superbike. Whats the redline on a CBR1000RR?? I'd say that the honda would rev the highest too, due to the fact that it is a 5 cylinder and all the rest are 4's, so the pistons are smaller & lighter.

[bugjuice]

yeah, but on the flipside - it doesn't have to rev as hard to achieve the same power, so the revs can be kept down a bit
