Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Well someone had to do it first,might aswell be the poms..this was taken from their annual Litre Bike shootout,guess the Big K didn't win,and a warning to prospective ZX10R owners don't expect the Kawasaki Ignition Management System to be a Traction Control System like on the more expensive Ducati 1098R!

According to the dyno chart in AMCN it's got less midrange than the Gumby, so it should be a pussycat to ride....what's the story?

Not sure what to believe in AMCN anymore these days. Have a good look at the power and torque figures quoted in the article and then in the Tech section! If you believe Gobert, it's got more pull than a boy Scout troup!


I was expecting Goberts reports to be a little more insightful??? I reckon Matho must water things down!
