Just been reading about this nice little runabout.. ;)
According to the stats, it pumps out 197 BHP .......which rises to a mind-boggling 207 BHP with the Ram Air system working fully.... :o :o
And I thought my quaint little FJ 1200, with a limp-wristed 125 BHP, was faaaaassssstttt.... back in the day.... :o :o
-
By heck. That's ridiculous. I think I need one!
-
But with so many dozey/inattentive/homicidal motorists and speed cash-registers (seemingly) lurking behind every bush and road-sign......is there any fun to be had on two wheels these days? :-\
-
Im guessing the dry weight is around 170kg.............FUNNNNNNN. :)
The first model did just over 100mph in 1st gear.This one may well be a bit quicker. ;D Just as well Im not a wealthy man really. ::)

Track days are the way forward if you have the cash and dont live hundreds of miles from a track.It can be addictive though.A mate of mine blew almost £30k in less than a year (10 years ago)doing many track days and changing his bike every other week.

I believe it comes with some sort of rudimentary traction control system. Perhaps this means it will spit you off less often..... ::) ::) ;)

...a throttle control? ;)
I'm lucky, I'm on the doorstep of Durham and Northumberland, which God made as playgrounds...
-
That would need to be binned straight away.Shouldnt be allowed on bikes imo.The whole thrill (and skill) is translating the feel of the chassis to the right wrist.

I work for a Kawasaki main dealer, a customer came in on Monday and asked for a price on the exhaust cans for a 57 plate ZX-10R.
No downpipes etc...just the silencers, £516.33 plus VAT...and that's each !!!

I'm curious are those, similiar price in Japan ? ???
-
Good question Cem, but sorry, I have no idea on how the prices compare.
A few years ago I remember seeing photos of several bikes, just a couple of years old and in good condition, abandoned on the streets around a Japanese bike dealer.
Dealers were not interested in taking them in as part-exchange.

I think a geiger counter would be an essential bit of kit if importing bikes/cars from Japan these days... :o ;)

ahhh.. again we forget ;D

Sounds like a very nice kit car engine... and with that much grunt I would imagine donor bikes won't be in short supply. ::)
-
200bhp through one wheel in the wet with a light weight loading is never going to end well :-X

Twice as many wheels equals half the fun though Kevin. ;) ;D
Im sure there are quite a few low mileage engines in bike breakers premises though. ;) ::)
-
nice on paper, but I bet its got rock hard suspension, perfect for a track day but thats going to be a handful on Britians pot hole ridden roads.
-
Fully adjustable suspension Tunnie - as hard or as soft as you want it to be. ;)
