If they only put the right color on the 14... well, it would certainly help the asthetic appeal of the bike, lol.

I look at this Kaw...and it goes to 11...the ultimate expression of performance from KHI.
Notice that the ram-air duct doesn't stick out past the fairing??
I guess B-model owner's shouldn't fret.....

WTF IS the top speed of a GP bike....flat out....not that "it hit 200 mph on this straight away before it had to brake" crap.....
I mean with a good 1-1.5 mile run....what the hell are the capable of? 220? 230? I sure would like to do a roll-on with one from 200 mph just to say "Hey I tried"

I think the 800cc is pushing about 220 HP, I am sure they set up the gearing and transmission depending on the track so who knows? Maybe th gearing they use on a track like Suzuka would give the highest speeds but I am pretty sure that 200-210 would be max considering there is no use for anything higher than that, track limited you know.

Honda's RC211V was about 1 second faster from 100 to 200 than their own F1 car. GP bikes got stomp.
And that new Kawa 800 is one of the best looking one's yet, should be competitive too.

If I recall, wasn't Capirossi/Ducati doing 215 at Catalunya last year (sp?)...
Pretty fast top speed wise last year I think the Duck was fastest w/HON a close 2nd.
Someone confirm?
