Something New From Kawasaki

Discussion in 'Other Bikes' started by Lucazade, Sep 14, 2014.

  1. I think they might be American women, they all look like that ;)
     
  2. The orange one looks like she's got a couple of spare conkers nestled in her bra, on the off chance some one fancies a game.
     
  3. Well centrifugal supercharger coupled with 1000cc engine and over 225bhp. Loads of torque will have to be present in that. Fuck me sounds mean sports bike.
     
  4. If 225 BHP it will be smaller than 1000cc - some say 600cc. I'm banking on keeping the 750H2 Heritage and guessing at 750cc :D
     
  5. A 600cc bike putting out 225 BHP - yeah right.

    Who's going to be delivering it, Father Christmas, the Tooth Fairy and Puff the Magic Dragon?
     
  6. It is easily doable but probably only with Ducati reliability so they won't do that :Hilarious: so I think 750 :Happy:
     
  7. Thing is I actually think it will be around 1000cc. It will allow for a broad power range and loads of torque when coupled with supercharger. 10-15% boost from a small, light weight supercharger is sounding about right. Anything more and heat management becomes a problem. Remember they also want to make it light, compact and reliable.
     
  8. Kawasaki's always sound good at full chat

  9. Been trying to load up the last video but failed to copy it, In the Video it says 'supersports' I thought that meant 600's :Wideyed:but in the above video it says 750SS Mach 1V Aka H2 which teases you to it being a 750.
    Being supercharged though and therefore not fitting into any category it could be a different capacity than the norm I guess.
    I'm still hoping it's a mental 220BHP 750 - somewhere was mentioning 250 BHP too.
     
  10. You might be right but then it could only refer to fact it will be supercharged.
    No matter what satzoomers zzr14 will be a learner in comparison. HeHe

    Looking for H2 I found this:

    DucCutters: SuperSqualo (Vee Two Australia)
     
  11. Nice - 2008 and never heard of them. £41,000. I wonder how many of the 99 planned were built and sold though...
     
  12. Duccutters i know off but just missed that project. They also review a s2r 1000 with supercharger. 72 rwbhp jump to 120rwbhp. 60% of power and torque by 3k rpm ;) and 60% increase in torque throughout the Rev range. Gulp sounds extreme fun.
     
  13. Sign up to a Kawasaki forum right now to be in time for all the "it went pop" stories.
     
  14. Glidd even if they will be mighty big pop stories ;)

  17. Modified to silliness I agree, like my 216BHP 8 Valve GPz that did :Happy: but all that's gone wrong with my Z1 Turbo is the Turbo caused be an oiling issue. I piped it following an 'experts' recommendation - it was wrong :(
     
  18. I always liked turbo bikes and idea of it. Imagine modern Supermono based on 1199 engine that would naturally do about 70-80bhp easy if not more. Due to almost half of engine missing and some other light weight therapy you could easy get it down to 120-130kg dry (Supermono of almost 20y ago was 120 kg) then walk a supercharger on and see power go up to around 130-140 bhp. It would be 1:1 power to weight like some of the big bikes do but with a weight of shopping bag not a small house.
