2009 gsxr1000 vs 2010 bmws1000rr

I like this Kawa, on the other note. I saw a MV Agusta yesterday in Sydney on road. and OMG what a looker !!!!!!!!! - it looked smaller then a 600 :), and had very sharp lines. in love with MV's - (will never buy it as its too flimzy - due to everything lightweight)

as i had said in an earlier post BMW set the benchmark now the jap companies will and have taken the challenge and bettered it imagine what hp they could get the busa out too.

[Streeter.]

Keep in mind that they are only claimed HP figures at the crank. It will be interesting to see what they can make at the wheel in real conditions.

In saying that with a couple of very simple mods such as a slip on etc, you would see 200 at the wheel I would say to give the BMW a good scare.

The good thing is that the TC system can be turned off on it if you choose, as it now becomes standard on the kawasaki as opposed to the BMW, so they can be legally drag raced in Australia. Would be a shame if that wasn't the case.

Although the BMW can be ordered without their TC system as a base model.

With the same rider, a stock S1000RR (183Kg) would spank the living shit out of a stock gen2 hayabusa anywhere near a corner. And in a top speed run the S1000RR would win again due to our limiters.

So why buy a hayabusa?

This is everything I think a Hayabusa does better than an S1000RR:

1. Torque
   
2. Shocking power without ringing it's neck (because of:)
   
3. Torque
   
4. Excellent comfort
   
5. Torque
   
6. Stunning, unique looks
   
7. Torque
   
8. Durability
   
9. Torque
   
10. Engine Life
    
11. Torque
    
12. It's a Suzuki
    
13. Torque
    
14. Aftermarket options
    
15. Torque
    
16. The sound of 1340cc at 7000RPM
    
17. Torque
    
18. Better wind protection
    
19. Torque
    
20. 2-up comfort (and no lack of power, because of:)
    
21. Torque
    
22. Highway wind comfort
    
23. Torque

PS - don't forget torque!

My 03 Busa made .2 rwhp less than a BMW1000 RR the BMW had a after market system on it. Was done on the same dyno. Mine is still a 1299 cc with system + head work,cams and FLASHED.
