2011 Kawi ZX10 Pic

WANT. Led bar tach, fuck yes

[z06boy]

Not the best looking bike imho but no doubt it's going to be a badazz.

makes me kinda warm and fuzzy inside.

And I know what you mean about Yamaha and the cross plane. Remember how long they rode the 5 valve head last time they thought they invented the wheel?

This ZX may hand it to the other in line 4s and with Ducati absent for a year or so...

Yep, actually I expect them to quietly change the programming of the butterflys from the lawyer nanny crap they gave us to a real 1:1 and call it a hp gain arrogant fucks

Just now bothered to look up the specs based on DRY weight:

2005 - 374.9
2008 - 395

This would indicate that at least part of your statement above is incorrect. Didn't bother to look up power.

I still don't like the 2011. It looks like the ass end is just hanging out there like some stretched poser bike.

I have yet to hear of a bar graph tach that can be easily read in the day light.

Agreed, I rode one of those KTM RC8 or whatever it's called, and the LCD digits/bars were way too skinny.

Think LEDs would be way better than the old LCDs whether round or bar. Doesnt mean I thing to me cause I never pay the tach any mind. I did without on on my SV racer and ZX6R, just watch for the shift light....

LCDs do some things rather well. making fast changes in sunlight isin't one of them. folks shouldn't judge an LED bar tach based on lcd failings.

i guess most of you guys dont have any seat time in s2000s eh?
