And yeah, the 1000's are insane. Mine will see most drag strip duty, I think. The BMW's are no match for the new ZX10s though
Should be healed enough to get on the truck next week. Weather is supposed to be nicer anyway. Might head out today and play around with it, but nothing major...

Not sure, but I saw a video of a new '11 ZX10 walking a BMW pretty easily yesterday in a 9/10ths mile roll race, haha (roll racing is for bakers, not petrol heads, I know, but its easy to eliminate rider error). Both were modded, but it seemed they were evenly modded.
Regardless, mine will be fast enough for me. Hoping for about 10.5 1/4's this summer with all stock motor and exhaust. Looking at swingarm extensions and drop links and straps, thats about all I wanna do.

The BMW has been in development for almost 20yrs !!!
They really have outdone anyone else and i'm not sure the JDM bikes will really be able to catch up in the near future...
Suspension, frame material, ABS/TC/OEM Launch Control... everything on the BMW is way better than anything else we've seen in this area..
but back on topic, any news of the 1gen... i really need to start to tear down my 2gen...
I've been thinking about mounting a 3rd gen body on my frame with my 12valve

The 1st gen is sitting there waiting for primer. It can't get done fast enough!!!! Lol.

ABS and TC are nearly commonplace now. I could add on TC to my bike, and not sure i would ever want ABS, so not too worried, . But, not saying its not advanced, it is, but saying the JDM's will catch up quicker than you expect

You have wheelie protection and yada yada... lots of features...
I'm not saying the JDMs can't catch up, but seeing that BMW has 10-15yrs on JDM automakers in the Auto industry... and knowing that the next BMW bike (competitor for the Hayabusa as a Touring bike) will be over 250hp OEM and a lot lighter than the Hayabusa... makes me wonder if they will catch up anytime soon
