what happened to the inflated 170hp numbers....I want to see the new gsxr750 numbers as well

 

If these are correct, then all 4 Jap literbikes are close enough in power output that it's no longer a deciding factor. Now the power is there with any of the bikes, and the choice comes down to handling, ergos, and styling. (So the Suzuki and the Honda are out of the running on that last criterium alone.)

Then there's also the Aprilia, which finally has the styling to match its performance.

Should be interesting...

 

170HP was the 'at-the-crankshaft' power, before powertrain losses. 180HP was with Ram-air assist, at speed. Then add in another 10HP for 'brochure-horsepower', and you have 'claimed' power output.

 

magazine estimates dont mean anything to me...once they come out and i see some dyno runs then ill start believing numbers.

 

Bike magazine has published some estimates of the (at wheel) hp for the 2004 line up...This is the first I have seen from any magazine...

R1 = 150bhp
ZX-10R = 148bhp
Fireblade = 144bhp

Well no guesstimates required with the Gixxer 152rwhp:fact
Lets hope the above figures are true.

The "04 Gixxer could push a few more ponies over the "03.

 

Once the rear wheels hit a dyno....that's when the truth will set the ponies free. :bow

You wish R1 pushes 180hp..as in KING

You think the 04 R1 is going to have 180 wrhp?

If so, keep dreaming

you are one dumb cookie, Where in my responce did I EVER say 180RWHP chump

 

I'm sorry then. Please explain what you mean.

 

I have that magazine as well. They seam to know what they are talking about and take into consideration what various manufacturers claimed for past releases vs what they actually dynoed down at the wheel. Either way it doesn't really matter... the 04 Yami is still the sexiest

 

The real question is...How fast will it go with a fat chick on back??

 

Hey Lowlife,
Still cant tell the fat chicks at your job no huh?

 

I don't think that mag is correct. The R1 isn't going to lose 30 hp from crank to wheel. Its just not. I'm thinking it will be around 153-158 at the wheel. I also think the ZX10r will be around there too. I have heard that honda's new bike is really down on power compared to the other (thats just a rumor, but knowing honda it doesn't surprise me, they haven't turned out anything in the last couple years that really turned my crank)

 

I'm sorry then. Please explain what you mean.

:dunno

 

honda depresses me....the 600rr is phat tho

 

:dunno

Thats was to ImagineParadise first post.

Exactly what do you think horsepower would be at the crank if the bike has 150 at the rear wheel?

The new honda is down on power because it uses a short stroke setup, unlike the proven more effective long stroke engine. But knowing honda, they will make up for this with amazing handling.

 

I was going to buy a 600rr so i could stay in the 600 class but i went for a 99 R1 that breaks the sound barrier

Honda makes great bikes
Yahmaha makes great bikes
Sasuki makes great bikes (mostly for stunters)
Kawaski... I'm sure you can ride those... can't you?

I miss the handling of the Honda... even if it was a 600
(yes i know 1000's r harder then 600's.. no need 2 yell)
i'm totally off topic now...

so that means that i will have to... say... stupid... stuff

I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and i'm all out of gum.

I'm gonna go drink so beer and play poker

what was this topic about again?

 

:iamwithst on the Matrix thing. It really pissed me off.

 

Either way, we will know soon enough.....I will know in late Feb when my 04 arrives....!!!

 

I hate silly or should I say 'ignorant' posts (ignorance is defined as not knowing)

Yamaha and Kawasaki both went the trouble of making their bikes the lightest and most powerful machines for the 2004 model year for one specific reason.

TO.. BEAT.. THE.. 2003 GSXR1000..

Dont think for a second that the 03' Gix which outputs 150 RWHP off the factory floor.. is gonna remain more powerful than either the 04 R1 or ZX-10..
