am going to be re-gearing my self
i've had gixxers in the past and no you are right it does not compare in torque. they are a far better or should i say easier machine to stunt

 

to stunt, yea. thats cuz all the fun on the one happens above 9k

 

It's producing 180 at the CRANK....not the wheel. It's geared for the track.

 

don't forget - the 180HP mark is "at speed" with ram air.

more like 154 without ram air assist.

 

i dunno what u talkin about my buddy has an 05 GSXR w/ race fit exhaust and i smoke him we even switch bikes and he beats me! so its not the rider R1's got that top end baby where it counts once u get into the power band theres no holding back :butt <-- ALL GSX SEES WHEN RUNIN the silver bulit.........

I'm well aware that the 180hp is not at the wheel, I'd be surprised if it was even putting 150 to the wheel. Regardless, Yam uses the whole 180hp as a huge selling bit.

 

Yup...and so did Kawi, and Zuk.

Gotta love numbers.

Trade it in if you are not Happy with it! :hellobye

but don't bitch when all you see is the dual undertail exhausts getting smaller and smaller in the distance :fact

when buying a bike i always do a lot of research, till am satisfied that what am buying is the best thing for me and not my friends or piers, i could give a rats ass what people think. i buy my shiat for me not the rest of the world. so buy what you research and not what people tell you. you'll be a much happier rider.
in other words quit bitchin', we all know the numbers and we chose the 1 and so did you so go out and enjoy the biatch..

sorry people.....the 180 at the crank is for thoes newbs(not you sabian) to sell the bike.

180 hp at the crank is with the ram airbox pressurized at speed of 150+....wich is bascially SUPERCHARGING the bike...


if you dont like how the bike acclerates then put a "cheap" fron counter sproket (down one tooth) and the results should be favorable....If this does not satisfy thy this and you WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED FO SHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bow


203 to the ground beitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!180 hahahahaha

I agree...hell i won a 05 GSXR 1000 and i am still keeping my R1...I love the damn thing!! Im getting a 600RR to replace the 05 GSXR 1000 ....need a track bike.....im sorry, but it will take a lot more than a few HP here and torque there to pry me off the "ONE" I still stay right with and pass many 05 GSXR 1Ks so i dont think the R1 is lacking anything useable at least. Just my 2 cents

 

LMAO....... Damn noobs again. I guess there good for a laugh now and then....

 

Noobs rock...

 

What you are experiencing has nothing to do with the power. It is because of the way the R1 is geared and the fact that is doesn't make its true power in the lower rpm range. Wheelies in second are also very possible if done right.

 

Noobs rock...

:iamwithst :lol :lol

 

Funny.....I could do 3rd gear stand ups simply bouncing them.

And I'm a fatass........


Hate to tell you bro.......it is your technique.

 

I'm going to re-gear +1/-1 and see if that helps.

It's true that changing the gears will make the R1 easier to wheelie, although with stock gearing it will wheelie in 1st, 2nd and 3rd with no problem.

Right now my setup is -1/+2 and it's a wheelie monster.

You have to get over the tank when you wack the throttle or the front tire will snap right up.

The 05 R1 is an amazing machine, very balanced and with Pilot powers the bike corners like it's on a rail.

You just can't ride it with out having to jump on the highway at 170MPH, the blood really starts pumping, cutting through the wind like a fooking razor, nobody is able to keep up.

OMG I need to log off and take a ride RIGHT NOW!

Sorry, I get a little carried away when it comes to the R1.

PS: I'll take the look and feel of the R1 over the 10th of a second faster speed of the gix anyday.

 

For whatever its worth my bike put down 146 at the wheel in south FL with crazy humidity and 90 degree temps.

Does 152 with a graves oval slip on and PC3 (no custom map)

 

hey, where is the noob that started this thread?

 

yeah i think we scared him off LOL

 

He got lost and forgot what forum he posted the question on.... lol

 

No loss really.

Interesting. Did I post to a forum full of little kids? I didn't know anyone over 15 used the word "noob". I thought this was an R1 forum. Then again, it's the internet I guess you have to bash anyone and everyone at any chance you get.
