It's growing on me slightly. I still want to see it with some mods done and cleaned up alittle. I have a feeling i'll like it better in person. We'll see.

[neebelung]

I'm still totally digging it. I know I'm one of the few, but I think it's hotness.

[Rider]

I thought my OEM pipe was ugly... Those are fugly and real heavy I bet.

Am I the only one that looks at the head lights and see's this?

Hahaha....I see it now that you pointed it out

Its not Horrible...I think from a straight on front shot it looks good....the Pipes are def Huge...and look out of place on the bike.

I like the "Magenta" Frame on the white one.

Welcome to ever tightening emissions standards. Those shits aren't going to get any better looking as the years keep ticking.

True that. Cost of new aftermarket pipes should be included by those who are shopping for a new bike.

I heard the video on teh Yammie site...Even with the stock exhaust it sounds awesome! It is uglier but still prettier than the honda and maybe even with the Kawasaki 10...Wonder what the new GSXR will look like?

[DLIT]

Who here keeps the stock exhaust on anyway? Not a lot of us. Picture some twin Akras ro Termis on that beast. Use your imagination.

[DLIT]

Those are huge pics. Once again, Europe gets badass colors. All white with a red frame/swingarm looks tits.

A new ZX10? You're fucking crazy.

[Sixxxxer]

Who cares how it looks...it'll walk away from a busa on the highway.

[JoJoYZF]

Agreed. The new zx10s are gross

[BobTheBiker]

I seriously want the new R1 now, it looks like my almost ideal bike. just put some aftermarket pipes on it, a fender eliminator and flushmounts or integrated signals in the mirrors like zuk did, and it'd be my ideal machine. seriously, I love that bike.

it looks like the bastard child of OSP.

You see my thread about the crossplane crank yet? It breaks it down even more.

I don't know about all that. I'd have to see them line up with simillar mods, simillar weight riders, etc. I still think in a straight line the Busa or ZX-14 will own most liter bikes.

yeah, they have the snoot of a praying mantis. yuck!!


i, too, kinda dig that white R1.

gixxer1k's k5 handles itself quite well against the 500lb crowd. Im sure current gen litres are similarly nasty with it

the new liters are alil quicker than the busa/zx14 in the 1/4

til u start moddin em. the bigger bikes handle a extra 60 70 hp alot better than the liters, easier to ride with the extra weight and length.

[Sixxxxer]

A STOCK Zx 10 and a STOCK Busa...the 10 would walk away from it on the highway.

I'm Just Saying...

[smileyman]

Until the first curve when the best rider of the two would pull away...Come on the world is not made up of Dyno hp analysis. The rider, weight, environment, all too subjective to say one is king of the other. The are different bikes and you can't make up an expirement in order to get the results you want...

Lets say 4th gear roll on from 45 mph to terminal velocity on a straight hiway? OK Busa wins, everyone happy?:panic:

4th from 45? sorry smiley but im having trouble seeing it. thats a heavy ass bike yer backing lol :dthumb:

[Sixxxxer]

Im glad Someone agrees with me.

I'm not using HP Data Sheets Im using Logic....a ZX 10 is Lighter than a Busa and makes About if nto More power...I just dont see the 10 not holding up nicely if not pulling away from a Busa...and when it hits the corners....zx 10 weighs roughly 400lbs and is lighter than the busa and smaller and easier to flick through the twisties.

only place the busas gonna have a distinct edge is in torque. i understand the new zed needs to be revved

[Sixxxxer]

Then Ill Rev It ;)

[Dave]

Then Ill Rev It ;)
