Does "true" mean drag limited or electronic limited/ rev limited?

08 ZX14, 2010 Persimmon Red bodywork.
Flies pulled, 16-42, BMC street, 8" extensions, drag shock, cut pan, Cycle Concepts Drag Pack and springs, muzzy m14 w/ oval can, lowered, Shinco usoft rear, pcv with autotune, leightweight Shori 18ah battery, throttle meister. 500lbs at bandimeres scales with half tank of juice.
I just read in BIKES and Fast Bikes (both british mags) that the S1000RR has the most RWHP of any bike tested (even the gen 2 busa) and has the highest top speed 189.9 mph of any bike tested.
However they were only able to pull a 10.2@148 in the quarter. So they are a few bikes still faster than it.

If they got 189 mph and another got 183mph, I would bet its drag limited, Being that weather conditions and rider weight ect would effect the top speed. Does anyone have a number for the stock zx14 (gen 2) top speed with the limiter fooled or removed?

The S1000RR has a very tall 1st gear and the slipper clutch does it no help. Right clutch and gearing could put in the 8's. How long will it last, no clue. Almost 37K miles on the 14 with just minor issues.

I'm skeptical to that number being that it is down 31 foot pounds of torque compared to the bigger 14. And doesn't make peak power till 13 grand, seems a little high and late in a drag race.. Just my 2 cents.. I must say the more I read about it, the more I want to add one to my collection, this bike must have crazy roll on acceleration. The handling and breaking are first rate from what i've read.

was that strapped and lowered and suspension set up to launch? if not, I think it'd be hard to argue for a light unmanageable litre bike out of the box those numbers are acceptable.
although BMW didn't design it to be a drag bike anyway.
screw the mags anyway. I want one of these but not buying into the hype. the new Honda 1000RR and YZF-R1 was hyped and we saw those go exactly nowhere

Write up was all press junket. No numbers. If BMW was so sure of their power they would have allowed some bikes to run the quarter mile or top end.
In 2006 the "stock" 14 did 189 mph at Bonneville. (6,700 ft. density altitude) At sea level that's close to 205 +- mph. No comparison-- Hopefully someone will bring one of these to Bonneville this year and we can compare apples to apples. Or Maxton-- Or those great airstrips in England.

It does seem to be a good bike, a friend of mine has one with the Akrapovic, he loves it and it looks really good too. The UK bikes are all restricted in rpm until after the first service, is that world-wide?
The dealership I work for doesn't sell BMW - but looking on the bright side, the other manufacturers will have to play catch up now and the next couple of seasons should be really interesting.
Motorcycle News, the UK weekly, performed a group test last week (at the new Motorland track near Barcelona in Spain) with nine of the biggest selling superbikes, all using their makers preferred tyre and suspension settings. The BMW kicked-ass, over 3 seconds a lap faster than the slowest bike and 1.2 seconds faster than the second quickest, the Aprilia RSV4 Factory.
I know most people on here think in terms of standing quarters or ultimate top speed, me included, but these bikes are made for circuits not drags. Doing what it was built for the BMW is the current top dog.

wow...quite a few bandwagon bashers here eh?
You can't even compare the BMW 1000 to a ZX-14. It's a SS liter bike for roadracing.
It's a badass liter bike with a lot of new technology that the others will follow. On track performance will show that...BMW's first year in WSBK was very good considering they have not been in the roadracing business. All thier F1 experience will show up quickly...keep your eyes on WSBK this year. Gonna be a blast as usual.

No just wanting to see the facts. Ive seen and heard lots of numbers thrown around for this bike.

Honestly, way more BMW "hype" than detractors. Seriously, look at the media..look at the checks BMW is writing.
Let's see the performance to match the claims and ridiculous hype. The tablecloth vid is the epitome of bogus, trumped-up marketing.

Don't be surprised when you see how it performs. Like I said, last years WSBK performance was a very good indicator of what this bike will be. Don't you think all that on track performance data was not used to tweak this bike? I will be suprised if it's not on par with what is being put out. This isn't a Japanese bike, and they don't march to the same beat. Look at there performance cars...no sand bagging going on there...the company as a whole is performance oriented...no real reason for them to be sandbagging. BMW don't build junk in any line they manufacture.
