Kawasaki ZX-10R v Yamaha R1

Tuesday, November 4 2008

This is a mega video I just saw of the duel between the all new Kawasaki ZX-10R and Yamaha’s iconic R1, which incidentally I owned for 74 miles last year before a collision with some oil, a Ford Fiesta and a beat field!

Anyway, the ZX-10R is a beast of a bike and its got mega power, producing 170 bhp compared to the R1′s measly 162 bhp. With a top speed of 184 mph its also pretty quick in a straight line.

Maybe the R1 is a better looking bike, but who cares what it looks like when it goes like either one of these 2 do.

So here it is, check it out, courtesy of our friends at MCN. The 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R versus the Yamaha R1.
