ZZR1400 makes more than 200hp with cans on and a remap and it is less stressed and is £11k cheaper.
How Kawasaki can justify £25k for a one litre bike
I don't get it either.
Ah but the ZZR1400 has 40% more capacity, so what happens when you use your £25K's worth of technology and bolt it onto 40% more capacity? Then you get truly bonkers and much closer to 300bhp. It's all about developing the tech' and thats' what you're paying for.How Kawasaki can justify £25k for a one litre bike

H2 front end looks pretty mean with the 3 LEDs (or whatever they are....)
MCN seems to use those small lights in lots of their mock ups. H2 front end looks pretty mean with the 3 LEDs (or whatever they are....)
If you look at the Kawasaki teaser shot, the front lights look to be LED strips in a 'L' shape, bit like some cars driving lights.

I didnt realise there was a "gentlemen's agreement" on power limits until now ...the Japs agreed no more than 200bhp ish at the wheel
So they release a 300bhp capable track only bike, and a 200bhp restricted road version, thats easily de-restricted (maybe?)
The agreement isn't on power it's on top speed at 300km/h (186mph) The limiter on the ZZR1400 is in the electronics of the speedo and 186 is like hitting a wall, it'll be pulling nice and firm then just stop. To remove the limiter easily there is a plug in that makes the speedo read low. The Hayabusa on the other hand feels like it's run out of legs anyway when it get there. So they release a 300bhp capable track only bike, and a 200bhp restricted road version, thats easily de-restricted (maybe?)

t the bed, looked a bit of a handful when he first opened it up there. Interesting also that for such a high speed bike they've gone for a sort of semi-faired design. I wonder if the exhaust temps were melting panels, it probably gets ferociously hot.Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
