here is my baby, my stock and R-1000's DESTROYER

 

Top speed depends as much on aerodynamics as on power. Maybe you"re better at keeping in out of the slipstream?
Your friend"s weight won"t help either
I owned an R1000 before the current R1 and the r1000, full normal, was faster for me. I weigh 72 kgs. The top speed difference is very small though and you need to take a good long run too.

 

Bottom line... that Gixxer IS faster then your R1. No if and or buts about it. The only reason, and I mean the only reason, is the weight difference. Swap bikes and see what happens. Stock Gix 1000 has what 150 rwhp? and your R1.... maybe 135 rwhp. Hands down the gix will whip on your R1 with identical riders on it.

Sorry to spoil your parade! :2bitchsla

15 hp diffrences??? no f*****g way!!!
open any book, and see - 5 hp more and 5 kg less for the suzuki (im talking about 2001 model) so i doubt if he can pass me so easy as you say. either way, now i've got 1 less gsx to destroy :rock
and still, what is the stated top speed for those two?

 

Come on NINJA9 stop it bro.

Ride safe and have fun. You don't need +/- 5 kg/hp to have fun.

And don't destroy any gsx and/or yourself

 

i know man (although your name is... destroy)
im just curiuos about performance data, an btw, to tease one or two gsx owners...
but you're right. peace :thumbup

 

you seem cocky, but i hate suzuki's so go you.

 

well what year gsxr is it?

And I can see 150hp from the gsxr and 135hp from yours easily.

 

hey! im not cocky! im just enjoing my new 1000 cc sport bike (after 5 years on a great great great ninja 600)
i dont hate suzuki. they create wonderfull bikes.
as for the hp differences, well, you're wrong. no way there is 15 hp between them. as i said, 5-8 max!

 

Lets get real with the horsepower numbers......

Taken from Sport Rider Website that keeps accurate numbers on all bikes they have demo'd.

HP for Gixxer 1000, 2001 = 141.3

HP for R1, 2000 (same as 2001) = 127.8

These are at the wheel and not at the crank like all those wannabe fast Civic and acura drivers quote all the time.

:lol I drive an acura not all of them say stuff like that I drive an acura integra. Its quick but dont stand chance to bike or most 8 cylinders.

 

I'd say you haven't done much homework my friend. Not that it even matters but what year is this gsxr thou you talk of??

AFMEDIC

 

you seem cocky, but i hate suzuki's so go you.

i agree i like any story that bashes suckzukis, sick and tired of suzuki this and suzuki that, fact is that even if they have a little bit more power we r1 owners know that we have a much better looking bike. and my 04 has more power than an 04 gsxr so f them.... :rock

Ohh what's that 13.5 hp wwn3d

really though do you have dyno charts for the bikes or have they been on dynos

 

What's the problem here? If you are a gixxer man then you will buy the thou, if not then you'll buy one of the others. All the litre bikes really are that good. You pays yer money, picks yer colour and makes your choice. I'd go for the bike that has the best dealer in the area, you cant over estimate good service.

Very True brother. I would like one of each of the litre bikes :rock

I love my R1 still. Looks, asthetics, performance. They're all good.

 

will all of you just shut up??? this is my thread! :lol
so, for the figures, my man, you must have checked a 2004 gsx vs the 2000 R1 cause no way there are 13.5 hp between them.
and as for the choice between any other liter bike on the galaxy or the R1 i pick (and picked) the R1.
fyi, the gsx is cheeper here in israel (just a little though) and i still bought the R1. you know why? cause it makes me smile!
the gsx (and all other suzuk's for that matter) looks like... well, it lookes like a bike. the R1 (and you can choose any year 98-05) looks like a dream!!! while yamaha is getting more and more amazing, the gsx (and look at the 05 model... what the f*** is this ugly s***???) is ordinary. period.
although its proven, that the gixxer has a stronger engine (still, not 13.5 hp stronger, maybe 5, and i insist on that. double check your data please) the R1 is stronger in everything else!
looks, gas consumption (who cares about that??!!!), handeling, wheelie's!!!, accesories, and on and on.... REMEMBER: YOU CAN RIDE THE GIXXER, BUT YOU'RE FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE R1!
the gixxer is a bike, the R1 is THE BIKE!

 

Sorry Ninja9, but even though I agree the Gsxr is ugly it still has a lot more power than any R1 except the 2004 version.
My 2001 gsxr full normal would pull into the red zone in 6th gear on the track => 300kph+.:bow
I"ve also owned a 02 R1 and it would top out at about 290kph on the same track. :blush
Top speed is where bhp difference really somes into play. There is definitely more than 5bhp difference.
Who cares about top speed though? Its through the corners that you make up time.:rock

u said it !! :rock r1 is the machine !!

 

uhh... hate to say.... i think your friend with the gixxer prolly let off... or doesnt know how to take that bike to its limits.....


I have a stock r1 with a yosh slip on... vs a COMPLETLY stock 04 gsxr 1000....

uhhh.... i was owned... wasnt beat badly... but.... i gotta give it to the new gixxers... those 1000's have some power.:crash

thats it!!! is the 2004 version is sooooo great?!!!
im starting to save money!
although the 2004 cost 11,000$ in the u.s, in here it cost (youre not going to believe this)..... 26500$....
my used 2001 cost 18500$, HOW SAD IS THIS HUH??!!!!!
i've got a lot of time to save.....
but still... i kicked that suzuki ass, so.....
mmm... maybe i should wait for the 2006 version? they only get more beautifull and more stronger! :fork

hey!!! u cant compare a 2004 gsxr to a 2001 R1! its not fair!!!
i've compared a 2001 vs 2001.

 

Last season when I had my bike dynoed, a 03 GSXR 1000, with PCM mod, and I think a slip on also dynoed.

He dynoed like 140RWHP.. and he came up to me, and said, hey my bikes fuel injected, and yours is carbed.. and I was like yeah.. so..
and then hes like, pretty amazing concidering your bike only was 4hp lower.

I dynoed 136RWHP with a D&D slip on.

 

I had tire slip also. (original tire 8000 miles)

 

i didnt really understood.... your gixxer dynoed 140, and your R1 136?
