    Yes, as per international reports and ride impressions flowing in, the S1000RR shall annihilate the 2011 ZX-10R.

      Oh it does plenty.

      Hear it. Ride it. Feel it! You will know what I am talking about.

      But as people are saying, you got the moolah, go for the S1000RR.
      The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

        Thanks

        Yup, the whole riding feel has changed, know that, but it was mostly a sarcastic remark that despite 'big bang' and torque low down the range, the CBR gets the better of it.

        But numbers frankly don't mean much and a .xx loss anywhere won't be of any good in real life scenario.

        As far as riding one is concerned, even if offered, I would deny as I know, I simply won't be able to go back to 'normal' Motorcycles post a stint in any I-4. Lets see, how long my wait will be stretched.

        The 'S1000RR' is the Motorcycle to buy. (not bringing in Italians here)

          True. Costing just $800 more, it is the bike to buy. The S1000RR is the one to buy.

          But the prices in our country are a bit skewed up! 4L more than the Japs. Can get two bandits for that price!

            Don't get me started on this, just saw the prices for CBR-250R with ABS and a CB-1000R costs twice in US.(only)

            ^Both pricing for US Markets only.

                  Lets not get carried away here. The BMW is a bike that I will sell my blade for. But it isnt that the japs cant touch it.
                  2010 MCN Fireblade was still the faster around the track than the BMW. But the ENTIRE package that BMW comes with..the space age gizmos...that makes it a bike to buy for sure.

                  I think he meant to say that kawasaki will annihilate bmw. He seems to have crossed the words.
                  The ZX10R is 10kgs lighter than the outgoing one!!!!!
                  I think the ZX10R '11 is the new king of the hill untill year 2012

                  when i ride bullet before my bullet was solid condition but i once race with a Ceilo car and my engine size. mechancic say bullet is good bike but no racing. it is good for three people and very powerful.
                  one day when i become rich i but ducati and then I race with cars. not now.

                    North American 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R loses 20 HP, slower than S1000RR | Hell for Leather

                    There was a report by Adam Child IIRC citing the same and lets wait for the comparisons and Thanks God for competition. As whatever happens, we the consumer are the beneficiaries.

                        Yes.

                        The clear wind-screen looks out of sync, but then hotbodies & puig would go outta business.
