Lots of rider aids and the simple fact it's making a ton more HP than every other liter bike out there. It's the new generation liter bike...we'll see how Japan counters it. Read up on it in the British/Euro motorcycle mags. They've had it for testing for quite awhile. Nothing really bad to say about it. It will make you a faster rider on a road course with the aids it has available.
Like it or not...it's what's coming.

Made 8 more hp locally than a 2008 10R, both stone stock, 162 vs. 170 SAE.

I thought the BMW made 180 SAE . stock??? Oh well the BMW is way too expensive for me. And I am way tooo tall. sat on a new CBR1000R damn it looked like a "Small 600 to me" And my big ole #12 boots just don't fit like the 14 does with the Buell pegs. A 14 or a Busa fits Real Men better :-) As good a the BMW does it still is weak on low end torque
after getting use to a Busa or a 14. Hope Kaw takes it as a 'Bitch Slap" and gives the ZX-14 more CC next year. Keep the ZX-14 name, just more HP.

If so, it looks like around 800 feet DA yesterday at noon. The track sits at 685 feet, but the air was very good...61 degrees and 48% RH. I'm not sure about any head/side winds?

I'm sure we will get the full scoop before too long.

On Brock's Facebook page he said that it ran an 8.66 at 155 against a "vicious headwind", but then soon after that they posted the 8.49 run.

Today he posted that Schnitz went 9.10@159.05 MPH on the stock wheelbase BMW, and said that the wind is no longer blowing and Ryan is getting more comfortable on the bike.
