Are we talking ninja 1000 or zx10r?

If it's a ninja 1000, then I would not expect too much more.

Could the OP repost this... It got lost in cyberspace..

and Wattie can you not reply to posts until they have been approved... you can approve them you know..

We are talking about the Ninja 1000 ABS (current model) which is the more upright version. I love the ZX10R but maybe next time.

245 k's is a bit disapointing, if this is all the "off the shelf" bike can produce then I may look into a few performance tricks to compensate for the poor performance.

Tapatalk fail...

whats wrong with 245 its not hugely aerodynamic that bike

taking it to the autobahn?

It's not that much less aerodynamic than a ZX9R which has similiar quoted top end power figures to the Ninja 1000, so one would assume that it should be able to do at least a genuine 270kph. I know the ZX9 would indicate 288 on the playschool clock, which prolly equates to about 270 real! So yeah, that actually is a little disapointing. Not that we are wanting to sit on 270, but if it does 270, then 240 or 250 is a walk in the park. Whereas, if it only does 245, then 220 is the walk in the park. I know there are a few that may like to sit on much mroe than that for sustained periods. Gos....you remember Bombala to Melbourne?????

So how fast does yours go ?

it may be geared a heap taller than the 9... maybe thats why it cant push up to 270-280...

Mate .. everyone knows that a 9 can push 270 -280 with whatever gearing it chooses while icing cupcakes and converting virgins ........ well everyone except Russ knows that .. but he has never iced a cupcake ....

Well thats it,when one of my nines die i wont be replacing it with one of these,i will just keep buying nines till theres none left

And this sort of stuff makes a difference to , I think

The limiting factor is of course funds and the handbrake otherwise I would already have done just that.
Geeze I love 9's.
Have no desire for anything new on the market. As fuck off fast and technologically advanced as they may be there is absolutely nothing wrong with a good ZX9.

The drag coefficient was interesting but looking for something back at ground zero. Any thoughts on a PC5 system?

Thought of selling the roady but then went for a ride and couldn't do it.
