We all love to hear stuff like this but without concrete details it is rather meaningless. Until there are customer dynos of an '08 it is all smoke and mirrors.

12 horse power increase is about what you get between 3 and 4 thousand rpm when you remove the secondary butterflys.

It's not 13 more hp, it's 3. Easy to find it on any official European kawasaki site.

My friend just came back from ...blah blah blah....he said the new ZX14 would get another 100 HP from the same block...just by adding some more blah blah blah....and that it would be $2000.00 cheaper...blah blah blah...
Uhhhh -- here's a thought, specs are already released and it shows about 2.7 more HP, not 13...Dohhhhhh, yer bud's a moosehead.
Can you read specs? Where do you make this shit up anyway? You have a shit factory somewhere?

About 162 or so...but crank HP is about 2.5-3 peak HP increase according to Kawi...and RW Dyno runs are very subjective anyway...
