Gotta have one – 200 BHP at the back wheel and a standing quarter mile in 9.64 seconds. Tested at 175mph with a gear to spare. Awesome by any standards. :o 8-)

busa killer i read
Utterly mental!
I'd have a go :-)
One question, why do we need to go even faster??? The current ZZR1400 is fast as is the Busa... why more power, just makes the bike more of a handful.
My opinion. I'm sure I'll be flamed for it.....
Dont you know Jon? Size is everything and the faster the better! :o lol
You can't have any fun on some aged little old bike you know! :-/

(they can flame us both now)

:) Agree with that Jon W. That's barking mad for a road bike. Insane!! :o
I agree jon it is just stupid having that much power on the road is just stupid. Instead of just giving them more and more power why not improve what we have now. If they stopped when the reached 100bhp (which is MORE than enough) and put all their effort into improving economy, safety comfort and handling we'd be getting 200mpg by now and still doing more than 100mph, be able to crash with immunity and turn on a dime!
But no we just need more "POWER" so we can now do 200+ mph when the fastest you can LEGALY go is what?... 70 mph?... how very pointless.

Agree with all the above,
I'd love to have a little play though.. :)
... 200 BHP at the back wheel......
Kin ell... :o
This sort of Power is ridiculous on our pot holled / scarred roads.
(But I would still love to have a go!............)
200 BHP - bugger me....

I can't argue with any of the above, but I bet they sell like "Hot cakes"
Shocking - who could possibly want to do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds..?

Of course you are all right- these performance figures are insane and are probably ammunition for the anti-biking lobby. I’ve got to be honest though, if I won the lottery I’d be on the phone to my nearest Kawasaki dealership the same day placing an order (to add to the other dozen bikes I’d own).
We are all attracted to motorcycling for many different reasons and I know I’m putting myself in the firing line, but one of the main attractions for me is high performance. I cannot offer a rational explanation because I don’t have one, except to say that I get a real adrenalin buzz when riding a high performance motorcycle. Doubtless, there are many on here who can relate to what I’m saying. ;)
You don’t have to ride hard – foreplay can be a lot of fun. :P ;D :-*

The average biker doesn't need 1400cc to scare theirselves sh*itless!! A bit of diesel on a roundabout will do the trick, :o :o

Just drop your trousers on that beast and "Skid marks" will be a thing of the past. :o :D ;D ;D ;D
Mind you don't do it in the spring or passing motorists may mistake you for a farmer muck spreading - Yuk! ;D ;D

At the Excel London show yesterday. Don't like the exhausts but I'm going to book a test ride when the weather improves.
who would want one? ME! I'd love it! call me crazy, an idiot, what ever you like! I dont care, some ov you may like to bimble along admiring the scenery with the cool summer breeze, i dont knock that, its quite relaxing at times, if i won the lottery i'd pick one up and take it to gemany to get the turbo specialists that did ghost riders bike working their magic on it. would have to be street fightered though.

Look closely at the lines it resembles a rocket, not a motorcycle. :o
When you see it up against the ninjas it looks really big too. I guess it would be more suited to good A roads with long sweeping bends.
i think it would be great for all the trips i do on the m4 lol.

God I'd love one of them, this new model looks super sexy. Dont have the money but wonder if they take a liver as deposit, or maybe a kidney??

Maybe you should change your job because I for one can legally go double that plus some........
