gtr1400 v gsx1000r

[2kwacks]

considering the gsx1000r is a litre supersport and the gtr1400 is a heavyweight tourer, there was not that much in it bet the guy on the gsx1000r as now bought a new model zzr1400

a lot can depend on the talent of the rider to get the launch right

Agree with that... Commitment of the GTR Rider plays a lot.  Read somewhere, the book says about a 0.3 second acceleration gap between the two.

Looks about right.

A day in the saddle of the GSX 1000R might focus a riders mind somewhat

The GTR isn't designed to be a Santa Pod weapon of choice...................is it ?

No it's not that was just a clip that I thought may be of interest. i.e.. the gtr may be a heavy distance tourer, but it can also boody well move when you want it to..

It's not a weapon of choice for Motogymkhana either, but it doesn't stop me!


SMOKIN !!!

took mine down the dragstrip a couple off weeks ago , and managed a 11.3  125mph  stander quarter .   its on par with a zzr1100  which i had . my zzr1200 did a 10.80  130mph . gsxr1000s  are doing 10.50  140mph . the weight is what slows it down .  the zzr1200 was a lot quicker  but no where near as smooth.  i am hoping that when i have had the power comander fitted it wil give it some more low down go . it only shows up when you ride with other big bikes   ridden on your own no problem .  depends what you have had or are used to .......
