Title: 184bhp with one hell of a power to weight ratio
Post by: johnboy07 on November 22, 2011, 05:58:34 pm

Went with a mate today to have his zx10r bike rolling roaded. Wow 184bhp on something weighing less than 200kg. can wait for the summer to take it on a track day as luckily he has a 600 and this 1000cc which we take and take turns on each. If you ask me i think he is mental as its a 2010 8k bike with 3k worth of add ons and he track it lol.  :driver:

Yep about 103mph in first gear with 5 gears left! One of my friends has one of the original shape ZX10R's and it is very quick and flighty, scares the cr@p out of me.

yeh sure does. front wheels come sup in third gear without even trying. he did 188 with me on the back and had more and has done 202mph on his own. Awesome bit of kit. The new zx10r has 180bhp standard. Gota love having a play with exotic cars on private roads of course and them not being able to stay near you.
