SpankMe gave me a sex change. I think he prefers me this way. His girlfriend was starting to get suspicious about our 'private time'.

Hmmm not sure, but hasn't the 14R got, like, 400 more cc's than the 10R??

This from Gav's posted article about the ZX-10:

"I think it might be faster than a GSX-R1000, although I thought I was going for it, until some guy called Doug Chandler just glides past.!"

Gotta get it in black I think.

Two - PDF

Probably could have 183 at the crank...the power race is on as always.
The ZX14 is advertised as 195 PS in the Japanese mags Ive seen. - at the crank!

compared to the TL, the busa FEELS like it's making 180 at the wheel.

mmmm, but for a mere $4000, and 6 hours work, i could be getting 250hp at the back wheel (or what would be left of it...).

and it still wouldn't be a kawazaki

The thing I found far more interesting was on that second link seeing pics of the bikes being assembled in the factory.

**Lou Girardin** · 24th November 2005, 07:25

Corrected or uncorrected hp?
Big difference on paper, stuff all in reality.

**dawnrazor** · 24th November 2005, 07:32

Isn't it TORQUE that really matters anyway, you can have all the power in the world but with out a healthy level of torque, your not going anywhere.

There, now people can say that the ZX14 got estimates of a million horsepower in Kiwi Biker recently.

It must be true, they read it on the internet.

lol knew you'd have to come up with something like that

they based it off the hp ratings for the ZX12R being 178 hp http://motorbikes.be/en/Kawasaki/2005/ZX-12R/ but that is off the crank I think. Will be interesting to see how close that estimate is though

http://motorbikes.be/en/Kawasaki/2005/ZX-10R/ is the ZX-10R from this year.. I'll try and track down a 2006 test...
