2007 1 LITRE superbike shootout

[Disco Dan]

Given its weight the K7 looks on paper and off the dyno to be the one pulling big numbers. Would be good to see how that manifests to actual roll on and track times. R1 also very impressive...

Heavy, stable and highest top speed.... ...I better start watering my nuts now, so when I can ride such bikes to their potential I could ride one of those!

.................

[White trash]

Yeah, just looking at those numbers, I could own a K7 NO worries I reckon.

[The_Dover]

yeah but that's cos the only number they missed out was the price!

"Hey mister, wanna swap that K7 for a fucken mint SRAD? it's got gay paint..."

[Grahameeboy]

What no Suzuki SV1000S?

[Deano]

Green faces?.....*must signify jealousy!*

Honda is slipping with the most limpwristed power output, and one of the slowest lap times. Odds on a K7 750 would be faster around the same track.

Honda don't make the bike with the aim of being the fastest in a straight line, or the quickest round a track. It's a road bike, and from some reports I've read, the best all round 1 litre sports road bike. I understand it's the highest selling 1 litre sports bike in Oz.

You might impress your mates with the top speed or power output of your Gixxer, R1 or ZX or woteva, but try riding it on some twisty back roads and back those figures up - I'd be surprised if 5% of 1 litre sportbike owners can push their bike anywhere near to it's limits, regardless of the brand.

Is that a challenge?

I would most likely class you in the 5% (smartarse).

Yeah, the bottom 5. :

[Roj]

They all look like they could scare the hell out of me...

[Pex Adams]

What no Suzuki SV1000S?

What no GN250?!

[Sanx]

Is that a challenge?

Sounds like a fun challenge to watch. And no ... you're not borrowing my 'Blade to try it

[The Stranger:Me]

As a matter of interest can anyone post local pricing on all of these machines?

[onearmedbandit]

I have read that the K7 is $21000. Not sure on the others.

[Sanx]

I picked up my CBR1000RR for $19500 including a Scorpion can. The ZX10R's $19995 I believe (ask DMNTD - he's had a few of them ). I think the R1's $22000. As for the MV and Duke - significantly more.
