NinjaNick Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 0-180 Shootout! July '08 Cycle World The king of Speed is apparently the ZX-10 (Quickest to limiter, not 1/4). Followed by a (gulp!) Augusta!!! Whats the world coming to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Ofcourse, every rider is different, so all personal outcomes will obviously be different. But the information is neat to read no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Doesn't suprise me one bit. The zx10 is an amazing bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool bike, but definitely not #1 in my book. Between the 1000RR and 600RR, I'd take the 600RR hands down. It way out handles the 1000RR. If I want speed, I want the ZX10.

NinjaNick Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I pulled 6hp more stock than they did with their stock 14. Damn sea level shit messes it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 This new 1000RR I have easily out handles and is more aggressive than the 600RR (06) I had.That's why, the 05/06 600RR was nice, but the 07/08 is absolutely unfreaking believable. We have an 08 graffiti. That bike is incredible. We have an 05 600 also. The 08 spanks it hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 No doubt which is why I threw the "(06)" in there. I would be interested to see just how alike or different both '08s are especially considering there's only a 29 lb difference between them.

Its by far the best handling bike I've ever ridden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 You guys are NOT going to benefit from any of those cornering characteristics you're posting about. I'm sure if you were a racer and made it your track bike you would, but on the street....nah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 The new RR had the fastest lap in Motorcyclist's shootout last month, but still ended up getting nudged out by the ZX in the overall. Nothing but praise in every article I've read about it so far....Other than they don't think the fit/finish is up to Honda's usual meticulous standards And they think the powerband needs fine tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 dont look at any magazine but Roadracingworld. Their tests are the truest ones of all the magazines. The new honda is the sweetest STOCK 1000 to date. Just look at how well Matt Lynn and Jake Holden are doing with these bikes in the AMA superstock and superbike races. and for all the twisty bench racing. come up to mid-ohio for a trackday and see who of ya'll is actually better... that zx14 would be nice to see out there!

Street is a whole different ballgame. I can't afford the track and don't make a living from it. I've been 1x on my 636 I had and had a blast. But it's too far and too much money. I want to take the 14 on the track so bad, but it would be an expensive lowside or highside if I push it being brand new. An old buddy of mine named Dennis use to take his green 12 to mid-ohio a lot until he got a gixxer 750 track bike. The 14 can rail on the street with a good rider and good pavement. Busa...not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMax33 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I myself stick to the streets since there doesn't appear to be a track in my back yard or a leather racing suit in my closet. Hey, if you have the time and the money, good for you. If not, there are twists and turns to be found out there. My 1000RR isn't that much of a difference from the '05 600RR I had, when it comes to handling at least. It's heavier but it's easy to throw around and when you're moving, it's cake. The more I ride it, the lighter it gets. I'd love to head down to Columbus to ride for the day. I'm not afraid to push the bike a little in the twisties since I won't be doing a track day for awhile. I never see another sportbike when I am out. What the Hell? They usually just pose on the main drag, here in town, winding out those exhausts that you can hear for miles. You really need to be alert when you are on the streets. At least on the track, you know what's ahead of you. Still, I'd like to try a track day sometime.
