I'm talking to you!! Dude have you been on the dyno?? Have you seen what numbers the 06-07 ZX-10 puts down on real dynos not some fake ass magazine dyno? I'll out dyno you and out run you drag strip or track or highway roll on. How about you call up Huey at Marietta Motorsports or even Huff at HFD1Motorsports and ask them how ZX-10s do on the real dyno. Why do you think that bike doesn't sell well or resell well in your case? Those bikes are beast upstairs when it comes to 160 and above but are pigs everywhere else-especially in corners. Don't read magazines-look at the streets and see what people are riding-GSXRs, Hondas, and Yamahas! Like I said I bit that magazine bullet and bought one-and had it for 20k miles but the truth is the truth. Unless you're Ricky Gadson or get one put together right by Kawasaki those things dyno around 145-150 stock which is right in the range of every other 1000cc motorcycle. But yours weighs more and has bad aerodynamics and can't handle compared to the rest. Get your REAL WORLD FACTS STRAIGHT!!Originally Posted by JoshuaASE
I'm not trying to be mean but your ZX-10 aint about to run away from any other 1000cc bike!! That's the honest truth. The bikes are too closely linked. I bet your bike dyno #s will shock you. When I owned my 10 the #s shocked me. Those magazine articles hyped that 10 up and most people won't dyno anything close to what the magazines say. Kawasaki always inbellishes on figures. Yamaha did too on the R6 w/ it's 17k redline!! They got a lawsuit out of it. Some(very few if any) ZX-10s will dyno 160 out the box but when I owned mine, my cousin owned(and still owns) his, and 2 other homeboys had ours and took it to Huff to get tuned-we all felt screwed. Huff told us that's the numbers we should have expected. He's never seem them dyno crazy high. When I bought my R1 and got it tuned 2 weeks ago at Marietta Motorsports they had a guy w/ the new 08 ZX-10 talking all high and mighty and Huey put him in his place real fast w/ real #s from 06s and 07s off his dyno. He hadn't dynoed a 08 yet but he was ready and willing to dyno the customer's 08 to see if Kawasaki stopped lying but the customer didn't want to get it dynoed until he had his pipes and some other things done 1st. On top of that, Motions had a dyno day about 2 months ago and NO YEAR ZX-10 came anywhere close to the highest in hp, torque compared to the GSXRs. The 04-06 R1s all had the highest mph on the dyno in the 1000cc class!!
Those are the facts I look for!!
