So, 10 more HP, 12 lbs more weight, 13 ft lbs more torque, and its ugly and over hyped for $6,000. What a deal. !!!
And dont expect the power gains from a pipe like the 12r saw.
Expect more like what the Busa saw from a pipe and pc III.

They Killed 3 bikes to produce this one.
I see another marketing mess for Kawi.

Watch that new Busa if it comes out next year. Suzuki has the balls to produce a 190 RWHP bike. They move the bar in much larger jumps like the 99 busa vs. 98 cbrxx and the gsxr 1000 vs R1. Both were much bigger jumps over the compitition. While the 0012r and the zx10r were very small jumps over the Suzukis. And Honda? Well they have no balls but they out sell everone else. so they dont care.

Suzuki is driving the market.

"Suzuki is driving the market"

Did I say that out loud?

Group buy on what muzzy product? The 1370 kit? If so... I'm in!! Just let me know a good builder in the North Jersey/NYC area... I'd probably blow my '12 up if I tried to build it...

Yea on the 1375 kit.
I bought mine before dec. 31st so I got the 15% off from the sale. It came out to $1,695.
Not a bad price. I priced putting it all together from sources and it was close to the same price. About $100-$200 difference. Muzzy is a sponsor so I gave them the buisness for the few bucks more.

So If theres say 10 board members that want a group buy then they might give everyone the sale price again? Who knows, maybe even more?

Guys from different parts of the country can recomend an installer near them. CT, NY, NJ has a few.

I totally agree Y2K.. I wanted a zx13rr 56.2mm stroke and an 85.5mm bore.. (1300cc)Keep the same bore to stroke ratio and have 185 at the wheel conservately How about a steering damper and put the handle bars up a tad more. The 06 zx10r showing 164 at the wheel is more impressive than the zx14's 169.

once you have made the decision to use a welded stroker crank, you might as well go 60 mm.
