Spoke with a friend at Kawi yesterday and asked about the redline - they replied "geez I never really took notice - all I know is that it stops going before it should!". We laughed - that was funny!!
So much for your inside sources....

http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/official-2011-kawasaki-zx-10r-gets-lower-redline
That link has the actual change to the redline....750 rpm.
quote:
The result is that the 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R passes the Euro III standards, but fails the EPA standards in its unadulterated form. To come into compliance with the EPA’s Noise Control Act, Kawasaki has lowered the rev-limit on the 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R by 750 rpm in order to meet the new criteria. The byproduct of lowering the rev-limiter will reduce the new ZX-10R’s maximum power output, but Kawasaki isn’t saying by how much.
Kawasaki says its the redline for American 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R’s will be 13,750 rpm
13750 is apparently the redline for US models...that's a lot better than was initially thought.

You're a twit lol! Honestly - who cares if the redline is 3000 rpm apart or 50 rpm apart if the power is 22 hp down and that peak happens 2000 rpm lower? It's a moot point - the engine is electronically hobbled and that's a fact, jack.

LOL, like I said, you don't understand gearing much at all. Remember your initial claim that the redline was 2000 rpm lower? Now you say it doesn't matter if it is 3000 rpm lower. 
Instead of arguing with me, find better sources at Kawasaki. That might be a help to everyone.

My local Honda rep (no, not SteveWFL...he works for BMW now) has more solid Kawasaki info than your "inside sources".

Good dyno info! Still, S1000RR is only 8 hp stronger than the restricted 10R. I'm anxious to see what happens when this Kaw is uncorked!!

What a joke. I wish I could give the "geniuses" at kawi a piece of my mind. Who really cares about traction control. Sure work it in, but I know they have the ability to make the bike stronger. WTF is kawi messing around with other stuff. They neuter the north American bike and now it's a whole 1 HP more then the 2010 zx10r. What will make me really orbit is if kawi made it hard and expensive to bypass the north American resriction....

All you have to do is buy an ecu and pipe kit from kawi and presto!...... its derestricted. Shouldn't cost more than 2500 bucks or so I would think? On top of the $14799msrp. Sounds like a japanese bargain to me  I wonder how fast it'll depreciate?
How much is the BMW again?
