Default 04 R1 vs. ZX10R ..... yup!

I figured this one belongs here fair and square:

04 R1: 1,100 miles absolutely bone stock except for minor cosmetics (170 lb. rider)

vs.

04 ZX10-R: 1,900 miles absolutely bone stock except for mnor cosmetics (200 lb. rider)


Once again the R1 does not disappoint. I wish he would weigh closer to what I do because I am sure that weight is playing a role here.

Runs 1/2/3: I consistently put about 2-3 bikes on him right out of the hole . The R1 is VERY easy to launch on stock form. Revv and slide the lutch at about 10-11,000 rpms...any less will cause you to bog. Do it right and you will have an almost perfect launch. I would increase my lead by another 2 bikes by the time we get to 150-160mph....

Off the role: starting at 50mph he jumps me about 1 bike at the beginning. The R1 on 1st gear and below 8,000rpms is a dog...simply put. It HAS to be the new catalyc converters they have installed..it kind of bogs and then at the power band it feels like a turbo....it just goes....By 120mph I had already gained it back and by 150 I had about 1-1/2 bikes on him....

These runs were made after the 1/4 runs we did at the track.

The R1 ran a 9.91@ 148.+....Getting into the 9's was a piece of cake....damn it, where is my Arata system!!?? It should be here next week

The ZX10R ran a 10.32@ 145 +....He was having a little bit of trouble keeping his on the ground. My R1 was planted nicely.

Now you know.

I rode it around the block a couple of times. I did not run it on the 1/4 mile but I will get to do it next Thursday. I am getting to run my R1, the ZX10R and a 1000RRs. The guy that had his only run a 10.7? @ 135mph....I think he was just scared because I know that thing is capable of much better runs.
