the zx7rr was, but not the zx6rr............The latter was sold in a lot more quantities than the former, so I wouldn't really call it a homologation special IMO. That would be like calling the R6 or gixxer-6 a homologation special just because they raced. True, the 636 sold more than the zx6rr, but the only reason they made the 636 was to give street riders another choice.

I thought it was the other way around, they designed the 6rr as the race homoligization special then bumped displacement and engineered the 636 for more power vs other true 600's. There was nothing special about it, kawi just had to sell a true 600 (599cc) bike to be able to compete

636 was a special bike

All that money, and the tires are bald.
:wtfru:

That is extremely bad ass. :dribble:

Fellas slow down. First a 'homologation' is just a fancy way of saying it has been produced and is available in sufficient numbers for racer/public purchase. 2. The DMG AMA rulebook says the bike must be EPA&DOT approved for sale and use in the USA and be available in sufficient numbers for public consumption. The 1125R isnt and hence the scandal. Now we have a GSxR that is similarly equipped.

I tried skimming this thread but now I'm confused.

It's a nice GSXr but the problem is if you buy it Gixxer riders might approach you and try and egnage in "conversation".

I can only take so many "yo's" and "shit" in a conversation before I get a headache.


You think it's possible to put Kawi or Honda bodywork on it?
that would be cool

Basically the GSxRs dominating Superbike are lightly prepped superstock machines.Now using DMGs formula for 'homologation, Yosh can cook some real magic and make it available for a price to the public and really spank the competition good, meanwhile if joe blow wants a turn key kick ass superbike he can buy one instead of spending hours in the garage bolting on goodies...

exactly! i dont know about you but the prospect of a cammed litre with a warranty is pretty damned tempting. id guess its gotta be somewhere in the 170-180 range at the wheel :whatwhat:

WSBK bikes are pushing over 200rwhp.
