I'm about to sell my ZZR250 if anyone is interested, good first bike, new cluch, sheepskin seatcover (if that's your thing).

Has been a good bike but time to upgrade.

Would be looking at around $4000, 6 months rego.

PM me!

Rob.

So your saying 1st gear goes all the way to 200kmh on the bike?

I think 200km/h may be a bit of a stretch, but apparently the new R1 will do 160km/h in 1st gear. Quite ridiculous!! :spit:

I know what he's saying about quick though, I had a modded Z1000 (naked bike) that was pretty fast, and that was by no means anywhere near as fast as a full on (litre class) sports bike. But I still dunno that I'd wanna take on some of the 400+rwkw beasts that lurk around here!! :gooff::msm:

That is craziness.

The same could be said of a T cranking out in excess of 400kw at the treads. :gooff:

that's true.

I use my bike as a commuter (06 SV650) and couldnt imagine having the need for 160km/hr in first gear kind of grunt. But then again if your into racing then it would be very useful.... If you can keep the front wheel down!

And that's the problem, that's where a smaller 600 or 750 can get an advantage on a traffic light GP, Vtwin is even better!! :gooff:

I have both. a kawasaki zx10r and a xr6t with 433rwkw and even with 28x10.5 mt's on the t it doesnt even come close to the bike.

a zx10r will hit 170km/hr in 1st with just a slip on muffler and go 10.5 at 142mph carrying the front wheel to 3/4 track slipping the clutch to stop it flipping with a 1.98 60ft. lower the bike to stop it flipping and they'll do a 9 from the factory
