the BMW killer!

Two things I can't wait for, the FR-S and the '11 ZX-10R! This thing is going to be a complete beast! Listen to that bad boy rev @1:25! Sounds like a Formula 1 engine!


I don't know whats up with the Metroid music though!?!

Beastly.

I see lots of CF. Did Yahmaha profit from Toyota's new CF tech and processes?

I'm not sure to be honest. Each Yamaha Factory racing team has their own supplier for CF bodywork.

Yeah, sorry I didn't clarify but i was referring to BMW superbike - S1000RR. So far that thing is pushing the HP envelope for liter power to weight ratio @ 185HP @ 13.5K rpm!

By what means is the S4 bettr than the M3? I'm assuming the S4 on track b/c of it's AWD right!?!

That is from the World Superbike Factory Kawasaki racing. I doubt production will see half of the goodies from that bike; CF bodywork, huge Brembo rotors, calipers, M/C, Marchesini wheels, Akrapovic EVO titanium exhaust etc.

Most of the factory racing teams usually debut what's in store for next year and with the single ram air induction (which isn't there on the current 10R), it's a sure sign that is the next model.

Ninjas used to be good bikes in the late 80's and early 90's then went through a funk until the 03 636 came out! Now it seems as though every manufacturer is setting the bar every other year.

rarely on a dry track! driven front wheels are really only GREAT when things get wet and slippery.
