2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R v Yamaha R1



Uploaded by: motorcyclenewsdotcom
Video Description:
Check out the first monster battle of 2008. In this video we pitch the new Kawasaki ZX-10R against the Yamaha R1 - our superbike of choice for 2007. The ZX-10R has already ripped up the rule book by producing a staggering 170bhp - 8bhp more than the R1. It also flew down our test track at a genuine 184mph, in the wet! But for this test we take both bikes to Brands Hatch and put them through their paces, to find out if all this is enough for the Kawasaki to knock the Yamaha off its perch. Read more about this monster battle in this week's MCN.

Bullshit? can MCN ... ( 2 weeks ago by northernbastard72)
Bullshit? can MCN please keep it professional and only post stuff that for starters is interesting to view and secondly is a bit more flushed out . For what it's worth the kwaka looks like a farm yard animal hit by a wall, I've produced better designed green snot than the shit those dickheads at kawasaki blow out. On any normal day the r1 with a half decent rider will spank the zx10 until its back side is very red. If you ride a Kawasaki your more into words like Ninja than riding bikes.

I'm a Ninja.....nobody ever gets to see the shit you claim you can do.

So the real answer is if you want the best bike for the Uk's damp twisty roads buy a year old R1 and save yourself a shed load of cash!!!!
